Flavorful Origins (Season 1) Netflix Original
Added to Netflix: 11th February
IMDb Score: 7.1/10
Netflix has made a number of acquisitions from Tencent in China but this one is perhaps the best one so far. Each episode takes you a different journey looking at a different type of Chinese cuisine.
Reviews for this title have been particularly strong with many viewers praising the food features and the way it’s shot in bite-sized episodes. It’s easily one of the best cuisine shows on Netflix and we’ll soon be reflecting our best cooking shows on Netflix to reflect that fact.
The 2000s (Season 1) Netflix Original
CNN is mainly known for their round the clock news coverage and shouting matches but some of their docuseries are sublime. Naturally Parts Unknown is their biggest series but one of the other memorable series is their docuseries on the past few decades.
Netflix has held The Seventies, The Eighties and The Nineties for some time and this month, they’ve added The 2000s.
