It has been an extremely boring year, among other things. While there were a lot of happenings that took place on a global level, our own lives have sort of been on pause since the start of 2020. The lockdown completely took everyone by surprise, and later on, the ambiguity that prevailed made us even more anxious and bored.
We resorted to different entertainment options to avoid going insane out of boredom. Some of us picked up the book we never got the time to finish, some adopted new hobbies, and some binge-watched movies and TV shows on Netflix. And thank God for the high-speed internet like Metronet Fiber Internet that made it possible for us to stream TV shows and movies online. Netflix has a wide range of TV shows and movies, but nothing entertains and keeps us on our toes more than a good psychological thriller. In this article, we’ll mention the top thrillers on Netflix that will make your heart race:
