Amazing Netflix Shows you may not have Heard of but are a must Watch

Netflix has always been a blessing. This is true especially for bachelors and hostellers or people living individually away from home. Netflix plays multiple roles- your comfort after a long or bad day, your company on Saturday nights alone, and your rescuer when you have to babysit a kid, etc. An all-rounder, it is. What happens usually though is that we end up watching all the popular shows and miss some of the TV gems which get shadowed.
