Netflix knows very well that, in the streaming war, being the first is not enough and now that there is much more competition, the platform has been putting the batteries with the premieres that it prepares each month.
2021 began with the premiere of the new season of Cobra Kai (which left us some clues for season 4) and the arrival of the French series Lupine, and Netflix made it very clear that this was only the beginning of 12 months full of movies, shocking series, and documentaries.
Making a list with the best of the year is always complicated (especially when a few months have passed), but in this case, things are a bit clearer, you just have to pay attention to the conversation, take a look at the trends section on the platform and be attentive to the most anticipated releases, and with that, you can know what everyone is watching and what they liked the most each season.
Netflix already conquered the year with its arrival at the Golden Globes with the help of Gambit de Dama, the movie I Care A Lot, and its long list of nominated series, it has had the most viewed series in the first few months and everything indicates that it better is yet to come, and there are already some series that, although we haven't seen all the premieres of the year, will definitely stay in the category of the best in streaming.
