If you've been looking for a series that combines old magic and modern day situations, if you've been looking for nuanced characters that have depth and the worst kind of luck, if you've been craving for a love triangle to get resolved the right way (with polyamory) then I have the perfect series for you.

The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself is a very short series, only 8 episodes, that will make you despise Netflix execs while making you sit down and take matters into your own hands. While this is based of a book series, I 100% recommend keeping the two separate as the show has a very different vibe from the books.

This series follows Nathan Byrne, the son of a notorious witch responsible for a deadly massacre, as he tries to find his place in the world and find out what his powers are. As the conflict between the Blood Witches and the Fairborn Witches escalates, Nathan finds himself the target of a modern-day witch hunt. He begins a life-or-death quest, building alliances with fellow witches Annalise and Gabriel, while learning about himself along the way. More below the cut.

Have you been looking for a series that combines modern sci-fi with mystic experiences and happens to have some of the best LGBTQ rep of the last decade?

Do you usually find yourself drawn to tropes where characters share emotions and physical sensations because they're bonded in some way?

Do you love great cinematography and practical effects and the craft of storytelling?

Boy do I have the perfect series for you! Sense8 is a series created by The Wachowski sisters and J. Michael Straczynski for Netflix where eight strangers around the globe find themselves connected -- first by a violent vision, then by their shared ability to connect with one another's thoughts and actions, and finally by the urgent need to find out what happened and why. Here's why you should totally give it a try.

Warning for mentions of suicide that happen to be central to the plot. I'm also really sorry for the amount of babbling you will see from now on.

Summary: 25 years before the events of “Red Tape”, Brenda Leigh Johnson and Sharon Raydor met under very different circumstances: Brenda an adventurous young musician from Georgia looking for love and acceptance in the City of Angels, and Sharon, a young cop and mother that dreams of making a difference in the world and living life on her own terms. What ensued was a whirlwind romance turned heartbreak, and a wound that would take 25 years to heal
