My top Netflix Picks !

Netflix....we've all been there. Scrolling and scrolling searching for something to watch, trying to decide if you're in the mood for a horror, or maybe a Disney film or perhaps a documentary. Until you finally pick something , watch the opening credits, get bored and continue scrolling. Then you give up and end up watching your favourite series for the fifth time. 




Yes the never ending viscous cycle of decision making gets us all. 
So I thought I would give you some of my top picks, and I'm not talking about the usual pretty little liars (which I love) or orange is the new black (which I also love) as pretty much everyone watches these and you'll probably know all about them!

1.The Returned.
Now there are a couple of versions of this on Netflix, I have personally only watched the French version which I thought was Fab! It follows a handful of people who passed away a couple of years ago and then one day suddenly return expecting to return to ordinary life. It's quite a tense and mysterious drama which is really gripping the only problem is there was only one series made!


2.The Office UK & US versions!



So two versions of  The office but both very different. 
The UK version is so true to life- it's awkward and excruciatingly cringey at times but hilarious!
Everyone remembers that dad  dancing scene we all watch peeping through our fingers as it's so embarrassing!
The US version is equally as funny but with a slightly different style of humour.  It isn't as dry as the British version but it's still based around the normal goings on at a paper company. Michael Scott is the funniest character and there's even a little love story in there too. 

3.Battle Royale


This is basically a grown up version of The Hunger Games but it's a  whole lot more gruesome and gory. It's a subtitled film but you soon forget about that. 


4.Like Crazy
I love this film , it's one of my favourite movies!It's a love story but it's not your usual love story, it's a very honest portrayal of romance.  I would call this film an instagram film, it all looks like it's been filmed through a vintage filter.

5. Coherence


This was a one of those films where I had no idea what it would be like but I was pleasantly surprised.  It's about a group of friends having dinner one night when a comet passes.... and I won't reveal anything more than that as I don't want to spoil it. This thriller is a right puzzler and will leave you totally confused but it's definitely a good watch. 

I hope you enjoy some of my top picks and manage to make that life changing decision on what to binge watch next.  Happy Watching!
