One of the trickiest things about watching Netflix is finding a series that the entire household agrees on. If you love stories of magical and mystical worlds, but the guy in the house wants action and adventure, there are some Netflix shows that are a perfect compromise.
These shows on Netflix are set in another time or land and have some definite spark, maybe even a hunky man or two, but are full of high-energy combat and dangerous quests that your boyfriend, brother or dad can't help but be interested in.
