These Netflix TV shows and movies should keep you hooked.
Summer is knocking at the doors. Scratch that, summer is here for Delhites – perhaps too soon. For most of us in India, summer is a time when we come out of our homes, schools and offices only when the sun has well set in the west. We go out only when it is necessary. Netflix, thus, fulfills out entertainment needs very well with its huge library of TV shows and movies. What’s more, there is new content every month that keeps us hooked.
Here is the stuff you should watch this month. The official synopsis has been attached to every entry.
