I don't know what genre appeals to you, but I found the Greanleaf series really entertaining.

If you're into dramas/thrillers like myself, I would recommend the movie "Room" on Netflix. It really captured my attention and I have noticed it's very hard for me to really enjoy movies but I enjoyed this one!

If you like sci-fi series you can watch the "100". It got almost 6 seasons and it was worth the watch. You can also watch how to get away with murder. I love how they mix-up the plot, too complex to make you think and analyze making it addicting to watch.

For medieval fantasy vibes: The Witcher
Dystopian/ sci-fi: The 100
Urban sci-fi: Umbrella Academy or Stranger Things or Society (all arguably YA)
Comedy/ Drama: Glee
Horrow/ Thriller: Haunting of Hill House
Pure Comedy: The Office
Sitcom: New Girl
Christmas vibes: Holidate

I will caution you on starting any series that is a Netflix original; they have a tendency to cancel them after one or two seasons.

The Witcher is really good,,although I have a bias towards Henry Cavill 😁..but it's really good ,especially if you're into action and medieval concept.
Altered carbon is also spectacular,,I prefer the first season to the second though, thanks to Joel Kinnaman

The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor are both absolutely excellent! They are both so stunningly gorgeous, and the writing is just brilliant!

Depends on what you like, but there is this lovely show on Channel 4 in the UK which has made its way to Netflix called the Durrells, very loosely based on the life of Gerald Durrell and his family's life in Corfu during WW2. I would highly recommend it if you want something light hearted, soft and funny!!!

Netflix has a new documentary series called Alien Worlds. In it, various scientists describe natural phenomena and animals on Earth and then extrapolate what their counterparts on another planet might be like. The filmmakers came up with some bizarre worlds, like one that doesn't rotate. It thus always shows the same face to its sun.

The Legend of Korra is the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is set 70 years after the original and tells the adventures of Aang's successor, the titular Korra.

Locke and Key is really good and set to have another season. It's a horror/science fiction about a family that moves back to an old house owned by the family after the father dies. The boy finds a skeleton key that unlocks chaos. It's so good I almost binged it all in one sitting.

I will recommend anyone of the Kdramas on Netflix. This will depend on if you are in the mood for subtitles. That's the way they all come. You could start with " what's wrong with Secretary Kim"
