While these are in no specific order, here are six shows I recommend that are worth binge-watching on Netflix.
1. Blacklist (8 seasons, 152 episodes/ (Crime drama Action Thriller Mystery)- Blacklist is a show about a criminal (Raymond) that is number 1 on America’s most wanted list. Raymond ends up secretly working with the task force to catch other criminals on the list. If you’re into a lot of plot twists, this is the show for you.
2. Nikita (4 seasons, 73 episodes/ Drama Thriller Action Spy fiction Psychological thriller- This show is about a girl named Nikita, who is raised by a secret government agency. She decides to escape to work against bringing the agency down and exposing them. If you like shows packed with action this is a good go-to.
3. Umbrella Academy (2 seasons, 20 episodes/ Drama, Science fiction) – Umbrella Academy is about a group of 7 kids who are all born with a different type of power.

4. Imposters (2 seasons, 20 episodes/ Dark Comedy)- Imposters is about a woman who cons people into loving then marrying her.

5. The I-land (1 season, 7 episodes/ Thriller)-The I-land is about a handful of characters who wake up with memory loss. While they’re on a search to not only get off the island but to also figure out who they are. This show is a quick binge-watch, but totally worth it with the plot twists. Although this is a thriller, it is more suspenseful with expectations rather than scary.
6. Containment (1 season, 13 episodes/ Drama) – While this series may be a tad bit relatable with the current pandemic situation, this show is about an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta. It highlights a section of the city in quarantine and the chaos and government secrecy behind it.
