Number 1: Avatar: The Last Airbender
The nations of water, earth, fire, and air once lived in harmony, and the Avatar, master of the four elements, guaranteed peace among them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and destroyed the Air Nomads in their first maneuver to conquer the world.
As the current incarnation of the Avatar slowly emerges, the world loses hope. However, hope is born again like a light in the night when Aang, a young air nomad – and the last representative of his people – emerges from the slumber to claim his rightful place as the new Avatar.
Along with his new friends Sokka and Katara, siblings who are members of the South Pole Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a quest that combines fantasy and action. He must save the world and fend off a terrifying attack by Fire Lord Ozai, a mission made all the more difficult because Crown Prince Zuko is determined to capture him and his friends. But they will be able to rely on the help of many allies and colorful characters that they met during their adventures.

According to Chromaria (4/5):
“Excellent adaptation, very faithful to the anime. The casting is good, the sets are beautiful, the special effects are quite well done. It’s a real pleasure to watch.”
According to Fabien Sorrant (4/5):
“This live-action series is truly faithful to the animated series that marked my adolescence with good, lovable characters.”
According to Khwartz (5/5)
“Much more faithful to the original series than the movie of the same name. Not surprising since it was directed in part by one of the creators of the animated series. Also very well acted with careful special effects that serve the series well : )”
why does it work
After the disastrous first version, the second live-action adaptation of Avatar was released: The Last Airbender. As a Netflix series, this live-action film aims to faithfully revisit three seasons of the iconic cartoon.
For this, the series could count on a big budget and it shows on the screen. In addition to the successful special effects, the program also relies on perfect casting, similar to the live-action One Piece put together a few months earlier. Entertaining, funny and sometimes moving, Avatar has all the hallmarks of a successful TV series!
Number 2: Interviews
A veteran, annoyed by the drug users and rowdies who have invaded his neighborhood, decides to get his rebellious grandson back on track.
Viewer Rating: 3.5/5
According to J. Martin (5/5)
“It is a very good series, realistic and quite close to the truth. To view without moderation. Be careful though, some rough scenes“
“Finished S3 of #Entrevias this weekend and still processing that finale 😭 Now I need an s4.”
why does it work
Spanish series are really growing on Netflix. However, it should be noted that Entrevias is an acquisition, its original channel being Télécinco. The series is enjoyable with its rhythm and many twists and turns. Furthermore, unlike other more sensational Spanish productions such as Elite or La Casa de Papel, Entrevias deals with subjects that are more relatable to everyday life.
Number 3: One day
Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew met on their college graduation day, July 15, 1988. They will grow up, become close and apart, experience joy and sorrow together.
Based on the novel “One Day” by David Nichols, published in 2008.
Viewer rating: 4.2/5
According to Angel (5/5):
“A heartwarming story. Slow start but still catchy. We identify with each character. From episode 7 onwards, I just cried non-stop. My heart was breaking every second. I’m proud to recommend it if you like drama and love stories.”
According to Loïc M (5/5):
“Rises in intensity throughout the series. Fabulous production and cast. I’ve never felt so much acting and a story that’s so hauntingly moving.”
According to Samueljan (4/5):
“A poignant series that realistically portrays the ups and downs of human relationships over the years. Both actors’ performances are captivating and the moving story leaves a lasting impression on the audience as it explores the complexities of friendship and long-lasting love. Ambika is very good in the role, I think it’s perfect.”
why does it work
This is the series that moved all romantics and even the most skeptical people! Still at the top of the viewership charts after being number one for a long time, One Day has captured the hearts of Netflix subscribers! Adapted from the famous novel by David Nicholls, the romance between Emma (Ambica Maud) and Dexter (Leo Woodall), which is told over twenty years and fourteen episodes, works wonderfully thanks to its main cast, its brilliant writing and the authentic atmosphere that makes it so. One of the gems of the year!
Number 4: Formula 1: Drivers of their destiny
Drivers, directors or team owners… whether they are on the circuit or in the paddock, they are ready for anything and experience the Formula 1 season at 300 miles per hour.
Viewer rating: 4.4/5
According to Rorechar (4.5/5):
“A great series dedicated to the world of F1. We see the behind the scenes, the strategies, the team wars. A good time.”
According to Wincetoma (5/5):
“A very nice surprise for this series that hooked me from the start despite my little interest in Formula 1. The different footage and soundtrack allow for total immersion in the races and the teams fighting for the win is exciting. Excellent!”
According to Thierry D (4.5/5):
“Great. I hate F1 by nature, which I have found painful and uninteresting for decades. So it took me a while to start and I don’t regret it. The series focuses more on the technical aspects of F1 and the politics. Behind the scenes and like a good old fashioned series. There are good guys , annoying guys, blunt, open, etc. We focus on them.
why does it work
This is (already) its sixth season and the success is still there. Among the most popular programs on Netflix, Formula 1: Drivers of their Destiny is a documentary series that takes place behind the scenes of the F1 World Championship.
Echoing the key stages of each season’s Grand Prix, the series also presents a real-life portrait of the drivers and team principals. Set like a soap opera in the ruthless world of car racing, the success of this series shows no signs of stopping!
Number 5: Alrawab School for Girls
The start of the school year at the prestigious AlRawabi Girls High School means new classes, new rules… and new queens who lay down the law.
Viewer Rating: 3.5/5
Caddy by size (5/5):
“I recommend this series as a family, because it allows you to get to know the reality of other countries and perceive a different point of view. It may be shocking, but it is a very pressing reality that should be dealt with as a family. A way to open up the field for communication.”
According to Louise Devane (5/5):
“I’m giving this series 5 stars because it’s…powerful. I won’t deny it, the script is really good, especially the first season, which for me is a masterpiece – a piece of work. From episode 1, we’ve been hit with its brutal and brutal Because of the side.”
According to Filmo-man (5/5):
“Wow season 2 is incredible looks like I don’t really want to spoil it I just want to say I enjoyed it because sometimes I feel the same…”
why does it work
The return of Alrawab School for Girls to Netflix after a three-year absence was well received by fans, even if some were surprised by the direction this second season took: new students, new stories, but even high school. Despite this change in plot, Jordan’s work deals with the same themes: women’s place in society, moral liberation, harassment, youth problems, etc.
