Netflix subscribers cannot get enough of a show dubbed the 'best romantic series ever' as they prepare for the final season to be released.
There's plenty to watch on the popular streaming platform, some telling longer stories than others.
I mean, if you've been recommend a series on Netflix that has just the one season, then you're more likely to give it a watch considering how easy it probably is to get into.
But for a show that has been about for a while and has seven seasons to date, well, that's a hard sell as it can be so difficult to catch up with everyone else who has been watching since day one.
