Netflix & Chill

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE? In a mini-survey recently conducted on Instagram by Tulip, we got to know what our fellow Hyderabadi love about Netflix! Read through to see if your thoughts and favorite shows coincide with theirs!

“One of the greatest shows ever made- Peaky Blinders! You’d think that as every season passes, the show gets boring but this isn’t one of those shows. The way the story progresses will keep you at the edge of your seat. The cinematography, “ the storyline, the characters, and the cast, are truly historic fiction at its finest. If you haven’t watched it yet, now is a good time to start. I’ve rewatched the show at least a good 4 times and will still shamelessly watch it another 4. You won’t regret watching it. If not for the story, you have to watch it for Cillian Murphy.

“ “The Crown was successful in capturing my interest in reallife events; from the characters to their acting, and overall display of Queen Elizabeth’s life, and the people around her. It is a must-watch for those who are addicted to The Royals’ past and present lives. Dr.Nida Ahmed

Mujaddady

“ “My favorite shows on Netflix would be Friends and Big Bang Theory because the relation between friends is such that you make fun of each other yet we laugh together. One faces a problem and the whole team is there to support. And together they grow, be it individually or as a group, much similar to our real friends.

Malavika Rao, Volunteer with Teach for India

“The series MAID on Netflix was something that made me think a lot. It took me a while to finish and absorb it all in because it is so horrifyingly close to the reality of victims of domestic abuse. I volunteer with an NGO that aims to raise awareness about gender-based violence and get to read about so many women who are undergoing domestic abuse in their daily lives and how they find it hard to leave, just as the protagonist of this show. For all those people who say “well if she is in an abusive relationship she should just leave” - watch this series to understand how difficult it is to break the relationship, especially if there is a financial and emotional dependency on the partner, more so “ when kids are involved. Ultimately, I love that it is all about hope, courage, resilience, and love and hope it helps more women everywhere come to terms with their reality and give them strength to leave abusive relationships. Namrata

“Money Heist- A thriller series that quickly became the #1 show ALL over the world on Netflix. I absolutely love to Netflix and chill anytime I am free from work. When I first started watching Money Heist, I watched it at a stretch for 26 hours and was forced to turn it off by my mom because I was sleep-deprived - it was that addictive. Its direction is so crisp that every episode keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout. I felt every emotion along with its characters and hooted a bazillion times on its fantastic dialogue building and plot, which was like none other. “ No wonder it remained the #1 trending show in India for several months. Anyone who wants to take a breath from the usual RomComs and Documentaries; I’d 100% recommend watching Money Heist on Netflix; you won’t regret it.

“ “I absolutely enjoyed watching EMILY IN PARIS not because it’s about fashion or too girly but you get to see one of the most beautiful cities in the world- Paris. I had actually visited Paris before the first season was out so it just refreshed all my honeymoon memories! Sufia Ahmed, Full-time mom
