Chernobyl(Hotstar/ IMDb 9.4)

Based on the Chernobyl Disaster, the 5 episodes mini-series is a must watch as it takes to viewers to the first-person perspective of everything. This is the series that saved HBO’s TV ranking after not so good Game of Thrones finale.

A Series of Unfortunate

Events(Netflix/ IMDb 7.8)

Let me tell you straight away that it is based on dark comedy and drama. Dark Comedy is an acquired taste so only watch if you understand dark comedy and have a craving for it. Otherwise, you will find this series very dull. Based on three orphans and their misadventures with an evil guardian, the series is fun to watch.

Sex Education(Netflix/

The first season is really focused on it and in the second season has even more interesting and progressing storyline. You will not regret watching it.

Narcos(Netflix/ IMDb 8.8)

Narcos is one of the best series out there. The first two seasons are based on Drug Lord Pablo Escobar and his rise and fall. The third season is focused on the aftermath after Escobar’s death. The series has more seasons which further progress on narcotics and their encounters. I know there are a lot of other movies and series that are a gem, I can’t mention all of them.
