Here at Hollywood North Mag, we’re huge fans of Netflix especially when Fall is almost upon us and before we know it the nights will be getting longer and the weather more undesirable. A Netflix binge has never sounded like a more appealing way to spend the weekend. There’s no need to get dressed so you can go the theatre and there’s literally movies and series’ on tap – it’s a win-win.
So, grab your comforter and your favourite snacks (or a Poutine from Uber Eats) and get ready to spend the weekend hibernating and watching some of our favourite Mexican TV shows.
La Casa de las Flores
If you’re looking for a Mexican TV series that is a little OTT will literally have you in stitches then Casa de las Flores (House of Flowers) is definitely for you.
