For the day that’s in it.
We love a good Netflix binge just as much as the gal and with today being International Women’s Day, we thought it was only appropriate to share some of the killer shows that star killer women.
Yes, when it comes to strong female characters on TV, we’ve come a long way in recent years and there is plenty to chose from on Netflix.
Here are ten shows you should start binge-watching immediately.
1. Marvel’s Jessica Jones
Plot: New York City private investigator Jessica Jones is beginning to put her life back together after taking down her tormenter, Kilgrave. Now known throughout the city as a super-powered killer, a new case makes her reluctantly confront who she really is while digging deeper into her past to explore the reasons why.
2. The Crown
Plot: Follow the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. In a changing world, a newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II faces daunting challenges, both in the political realm and her personal life. While Queen Elizabeth takes the throne at only 25 to shape the 21st-century monarchy, Princess Margaret is busy rebelling against royal tradition to forge her own identity.
3. GLOW
Plot: In 1980s LA, a crew of misfits reinvent themselves as the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Full of glitter, screams, struts, stunts and body slams, the Glamorous Ladies of Wrestling pack a (literal) punch
A comedy by the team behind Orange Is the New Black.
4. Godless

6. Orange is the New Black

7. 3%
Plot: A world divided into progress and devastation. The link between the two sides – Offshore and Inland – is a rigorous and painstaking system called The Process. Everyone in Inland has a chance to go through The Process to live a better life in Offshore. But only 3% make it through. 3% is the first Brazilian original series on Netflix.
8. Alias Grace
