Like many of you, I am not a series-loving person. When you have a 9 to 5 job, you hardly have time to invest in series. That’s why my Netflix-watch was limited to movies and documentaries. Then, the pandemic hit hard and changed everything. My office turns into home-office, allowing me plenty of time to invest in Netflix.

I deliberately used the word ‘invest’ because I believe spending time to get a pleasant cinematic experience is an investment. It entertains and also widens your thoughts and perspectives.

Anyway, in early March 2020, I decided to watch a few series on Netflix. I started with Sherlock. Then I went for Dark, Stranger Things, The Big Bang Theory, Money Heist, Breaking Bad, and a few others.

I enjoyed Sherlock’s incredible race with Moriarty in Sherlock, Sheldon’s acting genius in The Big Bang Theory, Professor’s inhuman capacity to predict everything in Money Heist, Eleven’s fight in the Upside Down world in Stranger Things, and so on. But the series I enjoyed the most and that left a remarkable impact on me is Black Mirror. I just loved it.
