Ran Out Of Netflix Series To Binge Watch?
Disclaimer: You may come out of this speaking a new language
Its week two of social isolation in Australia and I’ve already found myself wondering what to watch next on Netflix. You see, the problem is I’m a binge-watcher, once I start I have to finish and this means I’m often polishing off a series quicker than Netflix can say: New Release.
So I’ve found myself down a rabbit hole discovering new, international series and rounded up some of my favourites below to keep you entertained because there’s no shame in back to back binge-watching this month…or the next.
