The best shows always have the *full* package: There's great character development, a ~feelsy~ storyline, and a visually pleasing filming set that catches our attention. But above all of these, we can't deny that the characters in a series or film are the reason why we continue watching. Some may stress the hell out of us while others serve us our happy pills—either way, we love them all to the core!
That being said, we've rounded up some of Netflix's most beloved personalities + the shows they're part of that you should stream ASAP:
1. The alluring anti-heroes
These protagonists often make us question our morals but in the end, we still root for them! They may be bad but they're perfectly good (hit it, Rihanna!). *winks*

Tokyo (played by Úrsula Corberó) from Money Heist / La Casa De Papel

Who can ever resist a good YA love story? They take us back to the time when life was *so* simple and all we worry about is our crushes (admit it, LOL). Now that we're in a different ~era,~ we found new characters that gave us the same kilig!
