Probably this will look like a woke edition of all the lists of series and movies recomendations but what can i do whit that, what entertains me the most apart of fantasy are the stories that we can feel identified with ,the ones that represent those who had no voice .Without any further pause here is the list of netflix series that deserve more and everyone should watch.

Las chicas del cable ( Cable girls)

Seasons : 2

-Total of 16 chapters

Set in Madrid of the 20's tells the story of four women who work at the central of a telephonic company;Alba/Lidia, a women with a dark past;Angeles,a mother with an abusive husband;Marga, the tipical shy girl of a little town and Carlota,who wants to de independent from her well-off and controling family.Everyone wants to move forward through their problems related with romance, sexism and ennvy, this is the context which many women can feel identified despite the time where the story is set,some situations stay still .This is a story with a little bit of humor,drama and sisterhood.My only complain is whit the soundtrack,the songs that we hear through the serie never belong or even resemble the music of the time,this makes me mad taking in mind the variety of songs and dance styles of the 20's,but they are precise with the clothing and the sets,this is a story that can be liked by anyone.

''Let me give you an advide, never expect a man to solve your life ''

The Get Down

Seasons : 1 (2 parts)

-Total of 11 chapters

Set in the new york of the late 70's , the story of zeke and mylene in their way to reach their dreams and scape the destiny of poverty and violence that catches the bronx's youth.The best of the show is that it tells the story of the hiphop, the first parties with dj's and mc's that practiced the break. Another things who step out are: the amazing soundtrack ,the entertaining performance scenes,and the preious zeke's lyrics.Its also pretty historically identical according to the sets and the facts that occured.The characters with personality with so many things to say,the representation of latin and afrolatin folk's situation,the clothing and every detail make this one of the netflix series that deserved more.

''seek those who fan your flames''

Dear white people

Seasons :1

-Total of 10 chapters

the show follow the lives of some poc students in a college of white majority,every chapter is lead for a different character which is interesting since whitin the same sequence of events we see different points of view.The main point of the show is the criticism toward internalized racism and sistematic injustices. it takes the topic of the blackface, the colorism, the policial brutality and the labels nowdays,in addition it gives a view on how are generated pressure inside the traditionally oppresed groups like poc's, Lgbt folks,women.With all the characters but specially with lionel we witness with humor the self discovery and the personal consequences of opressions,stereotypes or social labels.A show for some people polemic but a show that everyone should watch.
