Best Netflix series to binge-watch.

Are you bored and looking for something interesting to watch? Who doesn't love Netflix series to binge-watch ? So here comes top Netflix series.

1. Lost Ollie

Lost Ollie, a book based on William Joyce's novel Ollie's Odyssey, is about a lost toy, a stuffed rabbit named Ollie, who embarks on a grand journey to find his owner Billy (Kesler Talbot).

Although the limited series' storyline isn't very original, its themes of bravery, friendship, optimism, and—most importantly—growing up are sure to move even the most stone-faced spectators to tears. It's absolutely worth watching TV with your kids this weekend because it's been praised as one of the greatest family-friendly shows of the year.

Additionally, the cast of Lost Ollie is incredibly amazing, featuring Jonathan Groff from Frozen, Mary J. Blige from The Umbrella Academy, Tim Blake Nelson from Watchmen, Jake Johnson from New Girl, and Gina Rodriguez from Jane the Virgin. Shawn Levy from Stranger Things is one of its executive producers, so you know the project has been in capable hands.

2. The Cuphead Show.

The Cuphead Show is a fun animated comedy series that can be binge-watched in a single afternoon. It is based on Studio MDHR's award-winning (but extremely challenging) 2D run-and-gun video game.

The television show centers on the antics of the impulsive but endearing Cuphead (Tru Valentino) and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman (Frank Todaro) on the Inkwell Isles. However, it doesn't take long for them to attract the notice of the island's many bad guys, including King Dice (Wayne Brady) and the Devil himself (Luke Millington-Drake). As a result, the pair must strive to outwit the show's villains in order to survive.

It may sound a little wacky and strange, but that's exactly how it is. The Cuphead Show's characters and setting have a certain charm, and its gorgeous animation is a fitting homage to the heyday of US animation. One to check if you're a fan of animation, the Cuphead video game, or both.

3. The Sandman

A beloved comic book series, or any other reading-based literature, should be adapted beautifully, as The Sandman exemplifies. The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman's well-known dark fantasy novels, follows the story of Morpheus (Tom Sturridge), also known as Dream and the titular Sandman, one of the Endless—a group of seven immortal creatures who rule the Dream Dimension.

When Morpheus is unwittingly captured by an amateur occultist in 1916, he's imprisoned on Earth for over a century and stripped of the magical items that give him his powers. Eventually escaping, Morpheus returns home – only to find his kingdom has fallen into disrepair and, save for a few loyal inhabitants, completely deserted. So begins his journey to retrieve his magical vestments and restore his realm to its former glory.

Although the plot of The Sandman seems quite straightforward, it is significantly more complex. It creates a multi-narrative tapestry that is chock-full of suspenseful drama, endearing characters, terror with a fantasy theme, and profound thematic relevance.

4. The Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy, a Netflix superhero original, is based on the comic novels created by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá.

Following the birth of 43 children by mothers who showed no signs of pregnancy, wealthy Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven of the children and educates them to use their special abilities to save the world. After growing apart, the family is brought back together when their father passes away, and they are forced to confront their history and the threat that lies in wait for them in the future.

The Umbrella Academy, starring Elliot Page and a remarkable ensemble, has all the elements of a classic superhero series: it's flashy, dark, and satisfyingly violent. Read our spoiler-free review on the show's third season before finding out why the show's fourth season will be its last.

5. Peaky Blinders.

Peaky Blinders makes its sixth and last appearance on Netflix US, having debuted on BBC One in the UK.

The Peaky Blinders gang, who menacingly roamed the streets of the UK in the late 19th and early 20th century, served as inspiration for the fictional Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, who is the ambitious and clever head of the Shelby family. The series follows the rise and fall of the Shelby family as they negotiate a world that is both changing at home and abroad, seeking to avoid authorities while also dealing with major world crises like the 1930s rise of fascism and the prohibition era.

Expect a thrilling conclusion to one of the best British shows in recent years as the sixth season has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes(opens in new tab), matching seasons 2 and 3. We won't be saying goodbye to Tommy and the gang just yet; a movie is believed to be in the pre-production stage.

That's it for today. Watch & enjoy.
