Netflix Tips For Autumn
Karolina Horáková
As the leaves turn golden and start to fall, there is no better time to light a candle, get cosy and watch something new during the autumn season. Now let's take a look at some new Netflix releases and tips to make the most of your autumn experience.
At Home With The Furys
This short, British TV series is not only about legendary boxer Tyson Fury, but also about his family life, mental struggles and daily routines. If you are not a fan of boxing, don't worry, it's still very entertaining. For me personally, boxing isn't anything I would voluntarily watch, but this TV series was interesting for me. In the episodes we get a glimpse of traveller culture (Tyson and his wife have Irish Traveller roots), which gave me a new perspective.
They talk about the way their ancestors used to live or the traditions they have. Many people might think that the whole plot is just about them showing how easy and posh their life is but it's more than just that. They show the real struggles they go through, how difficult it is to take care of seven children and maintain a household or how challenging it is to struggle with mental health, which features heavily as Tyson is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
His wife Paris discusses it a lot and provides viewers with a lot of information that the media generally doesn't show. Paris occurs a lot throughout because she is a stay-at-home mum and she describes how she does it all. I really recommend this TV series because it's very real and gives the viewers new perspectives.

Beckham
This month's Netflix tips might seem to be only about sports, but here is another very inspiring and interesting release. This new limited series with only four episodes is about well-known footballer David Beckham. It's quite similar to Tyson Fury's documentary so if you have already watched that, then don't hesitate and check this one out as well. David describes his humble beginnings and talks about his rise. The viewers will delve into his personal life, career and family struggles.
Many people might consider David a cold person who doesn't open himself to the public but this documentary provides it all. The filmmakers went beyond the surface to uncover Beckham's character. His wife Victoria Beckham, a former Spice Girl member, appears in the series as well. She describes the troubles and hassle the media has put them through and also about her romance with David. This work is directed with not only die-hard fans in mind, but also to those less familiar with his story.

New seasons
A lot of new seasons of our favourite television series are coming soon! Fans of Spanish series Elite can be excited for the new season which is about to get released. Elite is a TV series about teenagers studying at a prestigious school where a lot of drama happens. I would say it's quite similar to Gossip Girl - so, if you have seen that and enjoyed it, then definitely watch Elite. And those who have been waiting for the new season of Lupin, the French TV show about a gentleman thief who stole many valuable things and now is hiding in Paris, it has just been released. So don't miss it!
That was all for the Netflix tips for autumn, so go watch all the films and TV series on your watchlist and don't hesitate to add some more because the winter tips are just around the corner.
