Netflix’s series of series is huge, which can make many viewers get lost in the midst of so many options, relegating certain plots to oblivion. And on several occasions, after seeing a production run through to the end, we are left with no choice but to wait for the sequels to be released to find out what will happen to the characters: if the villain gets what he deserves, if the couple in love will be able to overcome the obstacles or if the superheroine will save the world.
