This comedy/drama makes for a good dose of retrospection, not scared of delving into the intricacies of familial ties. The series is all about breaking the conventional boundaries that define a sibling relationship and build a meaningful friendship. It’s about childhood dynamics and how it still impacts our lives. The spirited threesomes are here to ask those hard-hitting questions that we’re all afraid of!

This Netflix original isn’t your regular family drama but takes you on the journey of a mother’s worst nightmare to the resilience of those who cling to hope. The perfect blend of an 80s movie, it tells a poignant tale of childhood friendships. The residents of Hawkins, Indiana find themselves on the same page when they have to join forces to kill the Demogorgon.

4. The Middle

This show is all about the adventures of a middle-class family as they attempt to survive life in Indiana. The show is not laugh-out-loud funny but manages to surprise you in tender and whimsical ways. Their problems are very identifiable that each one of us can totally relate with. From juggling work, marriage and children to struggling through the grapples of adolescence, ‘The Middle’ has it all.

5. Fuller House

Who doesn’t remember the 90s ‘Full House’? In a continuation of the series, where DJ, Stephanie, Kimmy and Kimmy’s daughter move into the house to help DJ raise her sons. This heartfelt show is rife with moments that teach us what’s really important in life. The cheesy humour of the show works for its characters in sunny San Francisco. This Netflix spin-off is definitely one to watch with the kids in your house!
