I was really captivated by Chandler’s performance in Noah Hawley’s Alien series. She played Wendy, which was a fascinating character – the very first of these human-synthetic hybrids created by the Prodigy Corporation. The story behind Wendy was that her consciousness came from a young girl named Marcy who was seriously ill. The show followed Wendy and the other hybrids – they called themselves ‘The Lost Boys’ – as they tried to figure out what happened with the USCSS Maginot, a research vessel that crashed after a deep space mission. It was a really cool exploration of what it means to be human when you’re mixing people with technology, and all the creepy creatures they found along the way!

Netflix has had some huge romance hits, such as the historical drama Bridgerton and the reality show Love is Blind. But many great love stories on the platform don’t get as much attention and become hidden gems. Often, these lesser-known shows are the most rewarding to watch, like the charming 2021 romantic comedy Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.
I was totally hooked by Gachiakuta when it first came out! It just fit the mood of the time – you know, when darker anime like those in the ‘Dark Trio’ were really popular. It’s got this really intense, revenge-driven teenage hero, and the whole adventure is packed with action. But what I really love is how it tackles tough issues like class differences and what happens when everyone is obsessed with stuff, all in a world where even garbage can become something amazing with magic!
With so many shows available, viewers are becoming more selective about what they watch. If you’re looking for something good on Netflix this weekend, a thrilling series with a single, completed season from a few years ago is a great choice. It’s packed with mysteries perfect for a weekend binge.
Frieren focuses more on the experiences along the way than on a specific ending, and recent episodes, like Season 2, Episode 8, demonstrate how powerful those experiences can be. This latest episode features what many consider the best animation in the series so far, and culminates in a deeply moving conclusion, making it a strong contender for the best episode of 2024.
