Favorite Netflix Films & Programs
by emailryang | created - 17 Mar 2019 | updated - 17 Jan 2020 | PublicWhile I know Netflix Originals are a mixed bag in general, There are some I viewed and enjoyed. Basically, this list consists of original series & other programs that are only viewable through Netflix in the U.S. and never had ever been aired in theaters or broadcasted here. There will be listing of programs I'm planning to stream here too, for now.

I am not a major superhero fanatic, so I watched this with not much expectation. Surprisingly, I love this piece, sure the story is kind of slow but I felt it helped build up to the action scenes. Sad to see this is cancelled.
2. Medici (2016–2019)
TV-14 | 1,314 min | Biography, Drama, History
A political family drama set in Florence in the early fifteenth century. Cosimo de Medici finds himself at the helm of his banking dynasty when his father, Giovanni, dies suddenly.

Being into period dramas, this was a very entertaining piece to sit through. There are many flashbacks, twists, and drama that I'm sure is not all-the-way accurate. Still worth a sit-through, happy to see a 2nd season
3. Kim's Convenience (2016–2021)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy
The misadventures of a Korean-Canadian family running a convenience store.
Stars: Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jean Yoon, Andrea Bang, Simu Liu
Votes: 24,227
In a way this is like a Canadian version of Fresh Off The Boat, sort of. I found this very refreshing and had binged the whole two seasons. Glad to see this is getting renewed for 2 more!
4. Magic for Humans (2018–2020)
TV-PG | 23 min | Comedy, Reality-TV
Justin Willman performs magic tricks on the street.
Stars: Justin Willman, Jillian Sipkins, Mateo Ray Garcia, Chandler Bolnick
Votes: 3,767
This was a surprisingly decent magic show. I enjoyed how he does his tricks and how he performs them so quickly out in public some of them. Magic tricks always amazed me.
5. Raiders of the Lost Art (2014– )
Documentary, Crime, History
The history of various thefts of art and efforts to recover them.
Stars: Calandra Caldecott, Charles Darwent, Martin Bailey, Jonathan Kydd
Votes: 191
As an art lover, I was addicted to this documentary series about famous painters & their paintings. Love the reenactment of the creators and the backstories that took decades to reveal each work's creation and life after the artist's death. I hope a new season would come again for this!
6. The Magic School Bus Rides Again (2017–2021)
TV-Y | 26 min | Animation, Adventure, Family

Stars: Gabby Clarke, Birva Pandya, Kate McKinnon, Leke Maceda-Rustecki
Votes: 933
This is not as bad as I expected, it has the essence of the original series. My only bugs with this series is how cheap the animation style is and the acting comes off a bit lackluster.
7. Daredevil (2015–2018)

Jake Gyllenhaal was okay in the film, but for a "horror" film, it took so long to get to the killings of all the unlikeable cast

Folkore & legends are interesting story topics. This series goes into how and why these stories are created. And introduce some lesser known ones at the same time. Feels like something that would come up on a PBS late at night
