You had to punch at the ball instead of using an open hand. Trollhunters | Netflix Official Site — A great kids show by Guillermo Del Toro. The Get Down | Netflix Official Site — The best superhero show on Netflix, but also an amazing musical about hip-hop and growing up in the Bronx. Get a look at future superstar Justice Smith before he becomes a household name. Netflix — Sophie says this one is real good.
