8 Netflix Series and Films in Demand by Teenagers During Quarantine

Kapanlagi.com - In times of pandemic like now, we are required to stay at home and practice social distancing as recommended by the government. This can be boring if we don't engage in any activities at home. There are many things we can do, such as reading books, cooking, online selling, or other productive activities. However, for those who prefer to laze around, it seems less suitable. These people usually spend their time lazily by playing on their phones all day, lying down, or watching movies. But don't be mistaken, watching movies is actually a positive activity.

Speaking of watching movies, those who enjoy watching films during this pandemic period are certainly familiar with the term Netflix. This paid digital streaming media service has become the choice of those who prefer to laze around during the pandemic. Especially for teenagers who have entered the end-of-semester holiday months. Well, this time we will share recommendations for Netflix series and films for teenagers who are currently undergoing quarantine.

1. THE END OF THE FXXXING WORLD

One of the Netflix series that has a rating of 8.1/10 from IMDb is highly recommended. THE END OF THE FXXXING WORLD tells the story of two strange 17-year-old kids named James and Alyssa. James is a boy who labels himself as a psychopath. Meanwhile, Alyssa is a moody girl who likes to speak and act as she pleases. One day, James and Alyssa meet. Then, they decide to run away from home. He enjoys daydreaming. If he sees something interesting to him, he then creates his own imaginative story. One day he was adopted by the sibling family Matthew and Marilla.

Although the synopsis of this series seems simple, who would have thought that its rating is actually the highest among the films and series we have discussed before.

Not to be outdone by the series THE END OF THE FXXXING WORLD, this film is also highly recommended. This film tells the story of a family named Locke consisting of 3 siblings and a mother. After the mysterious death of their father, they had to move to their ancestral home called Keyhouse. This house is not an ordinary house, it holds various mysteries that gradually begin to unfold. One day, they accidentally found some strange keys around their house and tried to unlock the locked doors in the house with the keys they have.

3. THE WITCHER

This time the recommended series is of a different genre than the previous two films. This fantasy genre film is just as interesting as the films above. THE WITCHER tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher or a paid monster killer who is a mutant. He travels around the world, not only looking for coins, but also his true identity. Destiny brings Geralt to Yennefer of Vengerberg, a very powerful female sorcerer, and Princess Cirilla, a royal princess who carries a great secret.

With main actors Henry Cavill, Anya Chalotra, and Freya Allan, this series has received a fairly high rating of 8.3/10 by IMDb. It seems that this has made it one of the series that will not disappoint viewers. For gamers, it seems to have its own enthusiasm about this series because before it was made into a series, in 2007 THE WITCHER was already released as a game and was quite popular.

4. TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE

It feels incomplete if this recommendation list does not include a romantic film loved by teenagers. This film itself tells the story of an ordinary high school junior named Lara Jean. She writes personal letters to all the men she has liked but has never sent those letters. He did this because he was too embarrassed to approach the man he liked. Everything became chaotic when those letters were sent to the intended men and Jean didn't know about it. Lara Jean, played by Lana Condor, will not disappoint her audience.

This film is packaged simply with no heavy conflicts. Even when we have read the novel, our high expectations are in this film. There is no doubt about the quality of this film. Hurry up and put this film on your must-watch list.

5. LOST IN SPACE

Sci-fiction is a genre that is no less interesting than other genres. One of the genres that provides a lot of new knowledge for us. This series, released in 2018, received a rating of 7.3/10 from IMDb. The series LOST IN SPACE tells the story in 2048, where humans are able to create technology to go into space to start a new life. This series tells the story of a super advanced spacecraft accompanied by technologies that do not exist today. In the first season, it tells about the Robinson family's life during the experiment to get a new life on another planet. This series is played by several actors and actresses such as Molly Parker, Toby Stephens, Maxwell Jenkins, Taylor Russell, and Mina Sundwall.

What if this really happens in the future? With this series, at least we can imagine that. Interesting, right?

6. UNBELIEVABLE

This film is based on a true story experienced by a girl in America. This film tells the story of Marie Adler who reported to the police that a stranger entered her house, tied her up, and raped her for hours. Marie told her story to her friends and loved ones, but no one believed her. Finally, Marie gave up and said it was all just fiction even though it was a real event. Finally, everyone ridiculed Marie. On the other hand, there are 2 detectives investigating a serial rapist who has the same modus operandi as Marie's story. Marie herself is played by Kaitlyn Dever, while the pair of detectives are played by Merritt Wever and Toni Collette.

With a fairly convincing rating of 8.4/10 by IMDb, it gives us many life lessons. How the perpetrator faces the response of the surrounding environment that does not believe in the disaster he faced. How the two detectives perform their duties to find the culprit? Can they help Marie overcome her problems?

7. GREENHOUSE ACADEMY

This special school-themed series is also included in the list of Netflix's teenage film recommendations.
