The 3 Best Netflix Originals You Never Heard Of

Ever since Netflix brought streaming into the mainstream, Netflix has became an astronomical success. This gave Netflix the resources to not only be a distributor of other companies' content, but to make content of their own. This brought to life well-known Netflix Originals such as "Orange is the New Black", "Narcos", and "House of Cards." But some Netflix Originals seep into the underbelly of Netflix, rarely seen. But fear not! Here are five great Netflix original series to waste your time wisely.


1. Black Mirror

A technological twist on anthology television series like The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror offers a satirical look on today's world and our relationship with technology. The episodes feel like cautionary tales on what would happen if the world's love for tech got completely skewed in the wrong direction. Every aspect of the show is top-notch from writing to acting to cinematography. Started on Britain's Channel 4, Netflix took the reigns after it was canceled and kept the show alive and odder than ever.


2. Sense8

From the minds of the bounder-breaking Wachowskis (The Matrix, V for Vendetta) comes science-fiction show Sense8. It deals with eight individuals from all over the world who share a mental and emotional connection. The show explores issues such as gender, identity, sexuality, and religion. The only short-coming of the series, is that there's only one season on Netflix.


3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is a comedy show that never stops dishing out the laughter. The premise is wild, but also genius. Ellie Kemper, of "The Office" fame, stars as Kimmy Schmidt. Schmidt is a 29-year-old woman who, after being rescued from an underground Doomsday cult after being kidnapped 15 years ago, adjusts to the culture shock of living in modern day New York City. If you're looking for a laugh, then this show is the place to find it.

Netflix has thousands of tv shows and movies on its platform. It can be hard to find a gem to put your time into! Hopefully this list has given you a good, quality place to indulge in the Netflix catalog!

Happy Binge-Watching!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
