Alright, let's talk about what's been hitting the mark on Netflix this year. We're only halfway through, but already there's some serious heat. They've dropped a list of their top five shows so far, and it's a pretty interesting mix. We're talking thrillers, historical dramas, and even a sci-fi mystery. One that's getting a lot of buzz is unchosen. A thriller about a woman in a cult-like religious group. It's apparently rooted in some real-life communities and dives deep into moral gray areas, making you question who to root for. In there's the bombing of Pan M103, which is being praised for its straightforward, undramatic approach to a serious historical event. Letting the investigation itself be the star. The burrows is another one that's catching attention. A sci-fi mystery set in a retirement community. Despite good reviews and a solid cast, Netflix actually canceled it, which is a bummer because it sounds like it had that stranger things vibe. Also, a reimagining of Little House on the Prairie is making waves. Apparently balancing the original's innocence with a modern feel and telling, compelling stories

of survival. The top spot on this list goes to My Broyan Career, a show based on a 1901 novel. It's described as a feminist period drama with a modern edge using anachronistic music to connect the past to the present. The lead performance is apparently a standout, making the show feel fresh and thought-provoking. So, if you're looking for something new to binge, this list from Netflix gives you a solid starting point. It shows there's still pushing out diverse content, from intense dramas to historical explorations, and proving they can still deliver some serious hits. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to Raleigh News today. AI-powered local news.
