Sons of Anarchy
Probably one of the most beautiful and exciting series of the recent years. A kind of contemporary “Hamlet” in key motorcycle, with characters perfectly built and with a hardly replicable quality (we’ll talk again about this after seeing the spin-off “Mayans MC”).

If you have never seen it or heard about it, we’ll look the other way, but you have to take advantage from our distraction and catch up ASAP the 7 seasons which introduce us the Parks and the Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, in a mockumentary way.

Community
Another comedy that you absolutely have to watch or re-watch, that has created a lot qualitatively and has formed many pros: for example, the Russo Brothers (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War”) have been identified by Disney thanks to some exceptional “Community” episodes that they had directed.
Beyond that, in general this is one of the best recent comedies, with a well-built cast with, among others, Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Chevy Chase.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
After the announcement at the San Diego Comic-Con of the return of this series with a last season, it’s good to catch up the vision of “Str Wars: The Clone Wars,” that shows many aspects about parts that have never told in the movies.

________
Bojack Horseman
Without doubts, this is one of the best animated series of the last years, almost at the level of historical shows like “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy”.
Don’t be fooled by the animated technique, “Bojack Horseman” is a concentration of comedy, depression and reflection on life, and it’s one of the most mature products of the Netflix catalogue.
