This four part documentary series follows the comedian Chelsea Handler as she explores various topics.

The Get Down

New York City. 1970s. A group of teenagers from the Bronx reflect the city itself: broken, violent, bankrupt. The group of teenagers only have their artistic expression, which evolved into what we know now as hip-hop, punk, and disco. The show follows these kids who set pop culture on a new course. Jaden Smith is featured in this new series. 13 episodes each one hour long will keep the viewers satisfied until the next season. Netflix built hype for this show starting in February 2016.

Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street. The two most infamous British addresses are now brought to life in this Netflix Original Series.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

First came the novel, then the movie…and now a Netflix Original Series. Three orphaned kids try to overcome their new draconian father, Count Olaf. The kids seek answers to the mysterious circumstances surrounding their parents death, Neil Patrick Harris has been cast in this original. The above is just a teaser made my fans of the series. The show’s fate is in jeopardy after Mark Harris left the show. We all are hoping that a new actor is cast and shooting continues. Release might be pushed back past 2016 if Netflix brings no updates on the casting.
