The Witcher had been expected for a long time, since its production was widely publicized. It is based on books and games of the same name, which have been very successful for years.
As in other media, the series follows the story of the wizard Geralt of Rivia. This was not only one of the best series of 2019 as it already has another season ordered by Netflix for this year.

The Good Place is already an “older” series, but its fourth season was very successful last year. New episodes of this season are still being released, so it's a good opportunity to start watching it.

Eyes that Condemn a little differently, since it is based on real facts. She tells the story of five black teenagers who were accused of raping and killing a woman in Central Park, only to be proved innocent later.
The series focuses heavily on the racism that blinded the population at the time and on how the media and public opinion can negatively influence these cases. The work is strong, but worth checking out.

9. The Hill Residence Malice
Since we are talking about a series of suspense above, it is worth talking about one of terror as well. Hill Residence's Maldic has the old, familiar theme of a family being disturbed in a haunted house.
Only the plot, characters and hauntings are so well done that it never seems to be part of a cliché or beaten theme. The episodes are divided between showing the current life of the characters and their lives inside the house years ago.
In this way, everything is connected and past events are revealed along with other recent surprises. It is easily one of the best series of 2019, especially for horror fans.

13. Bandits on TV
Bandidos na TV is a documentary series produced in Brazil and worth watching. She follows the case of Wallace Souza, a former presenter of a political police program in Manaus.
