IGN India Recommends: 8 best shows to download on Netflix

Even with its comparatively cut down offerings in India, Netflix is still loaded with some awesome stuff to watch. And with the recent addition of the ability to let you download some shows to your phone or tablet for later consumption, it has made many a commutes just fade away. Here are some of the best TV shows you should download on Netflix.

Black Mirror

Often described as a modern day take on the classic Twilight Zone TV show, Black Mirror presents a near-future world with radical advances in technology, and how that technology would affect the human condition. Black Mirror is an anthology series, so you can essentially start off anywhere and still be in the loop.

BoJack Horseman

Part surreal comedy, part depressing deconstruction of Hollywood and the celebrity life, BoJack Horseman is an often hilarious animated series, with some shocking twists and turns that don’t shine the brightest light on the lifestyles of the rich and famous. The contrast between the funny and sad scenes works wonderfully, often letting us see just how random life can be.

Stranger Things

If you love classic horror movies, you’re going to love Stranger Things. The story starts off simple enough, but ends up being one of the most engaging TV shows to have come out this year. If you haven’t already watched it and are wondering what all the hype is about, downloading it is the perfect way to binge watch Stranger Things.

House of Cards

Frank Underwood’s quest for glory in the White House has been an epic saga in Netflix’s House of Cards. Featuring intrigue, politics, relationship problems and more, House of Cards is definitely worth your time, and considering it’s four seasons in, downloading it might just be the best way to watch it.

Narcos

The story of Pablo Escobar is an interesting one, and it’s no surprise that it translates so well into a TV series. Featuring intense action and loads of badass moments, Narcos is a pretty wild trip through the Colombian drug trade and its inner workings.

Archer

What happens when you mix alcoholism, parental abandonment issues and James Bond? Archer, of course! Witty dialogue and a unique style of animation, along with some hilarious running jokes throughout the series make Archer well worth binge watching. It also has some of the wildest adventures a somewhat realistic group of spies could go through, including a tribute to the classic animated series Sealab 2021.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

While its original premise of a young girl looking at the modern world for the first time in her life sounds dark, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is unabashedly one of the most cheerful, upbeat TV shows out there. Featuring overwhelming positivity and some great comedy, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is one of the more underrated Netflix shows.

W/ Bob & David

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk reunite with the classic Mr. Show cast to bring us seven episodes of fantastic sketch comedy. Featuring some insanely multi-layered jokes along with the regular hilarity you could expect from comedians of Cross’ and Odenkirk’s calibre. W/ Bob & David is a short show, so downloading it for a quick half-day binge watch session while going on vacation is one of the better ways to spend time while traveling.
