1.       Modern Love

Based on real-life personal essays from the New York Times column, this anthology series lets us peep into the lives of people in modern independent relationships.

2.       Fleabag

After Phoebe Buffay of the cult series F.R.I.E.N.D.S, The Phoebe you could fall in love with is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who breaks the fourth wall and takes you directly inside her head. Phoebe, who describes herself as a greedy, perverted, selfish, depraved, cynical, apathetic, and morally bankrupt woman who could not call herself a feminist, is a beautifully messed up character.
She is bold enough to give her sexually frustrated sister a dildo as a birthday present and even masturbate right after sex to help herself reach orgasm in front of her boyfriend, who could not.
She is the owner of a loss-making café that she had started with her best friend Boo, who accidentally killed herself, but her memories still haunt her. As the story progresses, we see the layering of characters unveiling, be it her anorexic sister Claire, sexually inappropriate brother-in-law Martin, patronizing godmother, an emotionally indifferent father, constant lover Harry, loving best friend Boo or a depressed guinea pig Hilary. Each character is so layered that you are forced not to stop the series in between.
The most beautiful part is how Phoebe deals with all the things in her life. It will make you smile, laugh, cry, and, most importantly, feel love, all at the same time. You can not stop yourself falling in love with perfectly imperfect Phoebe. You may end up finding some or the other thing in her that ultimately belongs to you.
Episodes are crisp and sharp, and you can easily complete the whole season in just three hours. And we bet you will start the second season immediately.

4.       Undone

Doesn’t it excite you when your protagonist herself is a mystery? No matter how hard you try to understand her, she would never fail to surprise you. This is the story of Alma, who believes that her consciousness can travel through time after she survived a massive car crash.
Alma gets visions from her dead father, who motivates her to go back in the time and save him from dying. He also claims that he was being murdered.
This is a jaw biting story of Alma’s emotions, where she feels trapped in two different worlds. Alma’s insecurities, mental trauma, and uncanny self-exploration are intense. Beyond worldly explanations, it totally demands to be felt.
The most interesting thing in this series is the technique of animation used. It is called rotoscoping, in which actors are filmed on sets and then drawn over by animators. This makes the show animated yet real.
