Netflix continues to boost its programming with its own slueth of original content which is set to delight binge-watch buffs from different parts of the globe, and it has already delivered some of the new and entertaining shows and movies all the way through the end of the year for audiences watching at home and on-the-go mobile devices. It is, however, disappointing that many pop culture buffs are not enjoying what the global streaming service is offering due to its pricing model. 

However, there is a lot of engaging and highly-entertaining choices from a wide library of original productions that cater to anyone who wants to be either a binge-watch buff or a Netflix fanboy. With that in mind, here are the new shows and movies that will make you feel like you want to be a Netflix fanboy. Note that some of my recommendations are already available for online and offline viewing for Netflix users.

1. Marvel's The Defenders



If you think you know every character in the Marvel Universe today, then you are wrong. The new series brings four unfamiliar and underwhelming Marvel characters in a new story set months after the events of some of their stories that were aired on Netflix. Join Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage in their own battle against an evil organization known as The Hand. They may not be as thrilling and exciting as The Avengers, but don't underestimate what they can do to save the world.

2. Stranger Things Season 2


This bizaare sci-fi drama has already taken viewers to a worlds that no one can imagine throughout its first season, and the second season of Stranger Things is no different except for what you are going to see beyond your own expectations. And speaking of Stranger Things, some of its stars are coming to Manila at the Asia Pop Comicon 2017 on August 25-27, 2017 just to interact with the fans prior to the start of Season 2.

3. Death Note


I've watched the Death Note anime a few times and enjoyed how the main character used the Death Note notebook to change the world with the good guys having to struggle all the way to catch Kira, and the Netflix-exclusive movie is no exception. The only problem is that the movie receive mixed reactions from critics and pop culture buffs even before it becomes available. If you watch Death Note, then you know the plot and conclusion of the story.

4. Voltron: Legendary Defender


Any pop culture fan should love to watch and enjoy the new iteration of the globally popular Japanese mecha anime which was popularized in the 80s, and you should anticipate everything that will happen on the next two seasons of Legendary Defender. The third season is already on the way, so you should wait for the fourth season within the holidays.

5. Glitter Force Doki Doki


I admit I am not a huge fan of the Pretty Cure series. It is good to know that the series makes its return to global prominence and eventually rebranded as Glitter Force. Well, I'm still not buying due to the outcome of the first season and the fact that its follow-up never made it to our local shores. If you have feelings for female anime superheroes, then the glamour and fun of Glitter Force Doki Doki should be the right show for you.

Becoming a Netflix fanboy or a binge-watch buff depends on which available and future show or film gain your interest. For Netflix shows in the Philippines, I would suggest you find a way to check the list of available movies and shows to see if any of the content mentioned in this article can be possibly viewed. 

Oh, and if you want to get a glimpse of what you are going to binge-watch on Netflix, then you should visit its booth at the Asia Pop Comicon Manila 2017 on August 25-27, 2017 and be astounded by its interactive experience featuring some of the service's much-awaited shows and films. Anyway, happy binge-viewing to every pop-loving trubist out there!!
