The best thing about coming of age shows is that it takes you through a journey of ‘first times’ you might have experienced through your own life - whether it’s your first kiss, your first love, your first BFF, adjusting to a strange city or your first roommate. ‘Adulting’ is a concept that we’re all familiar, yet grappling with as we prepare to face the world on a Monday morning.
A part of adulting is about looking around and figuring out what you want, what you like, as opposed to what you don’t. But one thing that we can all agree on is that it’s tough. Starting off this year with a bang, here are a few Netflix coming-of-age shows that you must watch to help you through problems you faced then, and need some direction on how to tackle them today.
