Hey, Netflix lovers! Whether you’re exhausted from scrolling through the endless void of content or wondering if there's more to life than just "recommended for you," or you simply need suggestions for what to watch, you have come to the perfect place.
As the year draws to an end, I can’t help but revisit my favorite movies and TV shows from 2023. Grab some popcorn and clear your schedule for the evening because we're here to dig deep into the cinematic treasure trove and unearth some hidden gems that might not be on your radar but are worth the watch.
Cam: A Web of Intrigue and Identity Crisis
Ever wondered what would happen if Black Mirror and a psychological thriller had a baby? Enter "Cam." This hidden gem takes you on a wild ride through the world of online camming and delves into the twisted labyrinth of identity theft. It's got more twists than a rollercoaster, and you'll be questioning reality by the time the credits roll. You might get the feeling of OnlyFans for half of the movie, but trust me when I say it’s going to keep you on your toes as you guess the next move.
Creep: Unsettling Laughs and Chills Galore
Ready for a found footage film that's equal parts hilarious and spine-chilling? "Creep" is your answer. This indie horror-comedy introduces you to the wonderfully bizarre world of a guy who hires a videographer for the day, and things take a turn for the downright strange. It's the kind of movie that has you laughing nervously while side-eyeing every corner of your room. PS. I wouldn’t recommend watching it alone. While there’s nothing ghostly scary about it, it still manages to make the hair on the back of your neck rise.
Good Girls: Crime, Comedy, and Chaos
If you're in the mood for a crime dramedy that's as addictive as your favorite guilty pleasure snack, "Good Girls" is the show for you. It follows three suburban moms who decide to take control of their lives by diving into the world of crime. Think of it as "Breaking Bad" meets "Desperate Housewives." It's got sass, laughs, and a whole lot of unexpected twists.
iZombie: Zombies, Crime Solving, and a Side of Humor
"IZombie" isn't your typical zombie apocalypse story. In this hidden gem, our protagonist, Liv Moore, uses her newfound zombie abilities to help solve crimes by eating the brains of the deceased. It's a mix of crime procedural, supernatural drama, and comedy (and who doesn’t love that?) If you're tired of the same old zombie trope, this one adds a deliciously quirky twist. (okay, honestly, I’m a little biased toward all things zombie, but I think this is a fun watch.)
The Midnight Club: Teenage Mysteries and Ghostly Secrets
If you're a fan of mysteries with a supernatural edge, "The Midnight Club" is a hidden gem that deserves your attention. A group of terminally ill teens gathers at a hospice to share their deepest secrets. As they form a bond, they make a pact to meet at midnight if any one of them dies. A tale of friendship, secrets, and the eerie unknown follows. It's like a coming-of-age story with a spooky, mysterious twist. This also gives you a break from all things terminally ill and shows things in a new light. (what do they say? There’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Or something, I don’t know.)
The Umbrella Academy: Dysfunctional Superheroes and Time Travel Shenanigans
Picture this: a dysfunctional family of adopted superhero siblings with unique powers. (You’re saying that every family is dysfunctional? I know, right? Where are my superpowers, man!) Now throw in a mysterious billionaire, time travel, and a talking chimpanzee. Welcome to "The Umbrella Academy." This hidden gem combines dark humor, family drama, and superhero action in an unconventional and utterly binge-worthy way.
Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) – A Spanish Thrill Ride
Dive into the high-stakes world of heists and hostages with "Money Heist." This Spanish series follows a group of criminals as they execute meticulously planned robberies, each named after cities. What sets it apart? The complex characters, unexpected twists, and a mastermind known as "The Professor." Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, suspense, and strategic brilliance that'll leave you eagerly anticipating the next move. (I know Money Heist is neither a hidden gem nor underrated, but I just had to include it because it’s definitely worth a rewatch.)
So, there you have it, folks! Remember these hidden gems the next time you find yourself lost in the Netflix jungle. They might not be the mainstream hits, but they're the kind of cinematic treasures that make your subscription totally worthwhile. Happy Holidays and Happy Watching!
