Glow
What it's about:
The story takes place in the 1980s, a young girl from an underprivileged background dreams of becoming an actress.
She will finally discover an incredible talent in women's wrestling, and will try to break through alongside a 100% female team ...
Why SERIELAND recommends it to you:
A feminist success story to die for, where this talented young woman finds herself in a very masculine and macho environment.
Look there too to discover women's wrestling, an area that is rarely covered in the series universe.
Here are some badass and very determined wrestlers that must be discovered!
Where can we see her?

Fleabag
What it's about:
Fleabag is a lost young Londoner.
She uses sex, by her own admission, to fill the void in her life, and has to manage a colorful family.
Between a psychorigid half-anorexic sister, her companion who turns out to be "beauf" in every sense of the word, and her unbearable stepmother, the young woman has some extenuating circumstances ...
Why SERIELAND recommends it to you:
It's a funny and touching series in which comedy and drama mingle.
Behind the black humor hides a feminist statement on the place of women in society.
The writing, the staging, the actors: everything is successful.
At the beginning, the heroine is badly but in two seasons, we see her get up slowly.
Where can we see her?
The 2 seasons of 6 episodes (23mn) are available on Prime Video.
The Good Place
What it's about:
This is the story of Eleanor Shellstrop.
The young woman died in a stupid shopping cart accident and is sent to a neighborhood in Bon Endroit, a kind of paradise for exceptionally virtuous people.
But as much to say that there is error on the destination.
Eleanor is not really a saint.
She should have landed in the Wrong Place right away.
And she will do everything to prevent the neighborhood angel-architect and the other residents from finding out.
Why SERIELAND advises you:
The characters push their limits, and will find stratagems to get by better.
A series certainly completely crazy but original and which has an almost philosophical basic point on fate and life after death.
It will help you better understand the future and to think.
Does fate exist?
Can we bend it?
What makes you a "good" or a "bad" person?
The series tackles these questions with a lot of lightness and humor.
Where can we see her?
The 4 seasons of 13 episodes (22mn) are available on Netflix.
