Five classic shows to revisit on Netflix now

With the start of the new decade, many shows that were once closest to our hearts either ended or advanced into later ages. With Netflix offering a wave of new content, sometimes, we all miss the charm of quality television.

Quality comes with time, a great group of writers, and a brilliant production team. The crystallising moment of those talents coming together to create a perfect show at the perfect time can feel like a gift sent from on high. It’s only natural that we’d want to go back to them time and time again.

To fulfil your need for a new watchlist, Best of Netflix has made the perfect list of five shows who have ended their term. Although these shows have come to an end, they will live in the hearts of viewers rent-free for years to come. And to make sure the sweet thought of watching these never leave our minds and hearts, it is always good to revisit gems of the past. 

Revisiting shows on Netflix is part of the reason we love the streaming service. Comfort-watching is a really nourishing prospect, and these shows offer our souls the warmest of entertainment blankets.

3. Bojack Horseman (2014-2020)

Existential nihilism at its best. Bojack Horseman covers the story of a horse that was once a star.

Throughout the show, he hurts his true friends and goes on a journey to improve himself as a person. However, the journey is not an easy one.

The story is placed in the afterlife and holds a comedic undertone. When Eleanor dies and finds herself in The Good Place she wonders whether she has reached the wrong stop. She feels this way mainly because she feels out of place. However, she and her newfound friends make active efforts to become better people to fit in. The show discusses moral values, ethics, and what exactly being a good person means. All serious themes are made lighter with their light and quirky humour!
