Fathers and daughters have a unique affinity, and it is undeniable that this endearing and occasionally complicated dynamic makes their relationship stories—whether they are dramatic, emotional, sad, or happy—very fascinating. A wide variety of shows on Netflix center on this unique connection. Here are the top father-daughter Netflix series, ranging from heartwarming comedies to dramatic dynamics to exciting explorations.
1. Shameless
The story of “Shameless” centers on the connections between a lazy and self-centered father of six and his kids. The matriarch of the family, Fiona (Emmy Rossum), is the oldest and, presumably, the only reasonable one. She has the authority to expel her father, Frank (William H. Macy), if she so chooses. Notably, Fiona is adamant about avoiding dating anyone who could endanger the family, despite her awful taste in men. Frank is also an alcoholic.
2. Itxaso and the Sea
The Spanish drama series “Itxaso and the Sea,” which was created by María Cortés, examines the relationship between Itxaso (Nerea Mazo), 17, and his estranged father Mikel (Jon Plazaola). Itxaso is sent to her father, who owns a surfing school in the coastal village of Donibane, after her mother, Elene (Itziar Atienza), was diagnosed with cancer. Mikel must deal with his troubled history, which caused him to become estranged from his wife and daughter, while Itxaso attempts to adapt to the strange surroundings. Can two lonely souls bound by blood help each other? ‘Itxaso and the Sea’ is a gripping coming-of-age series that authentically portrays the different layers of grief. You can stream it here.
3. FUBAR
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Luke Brunner, a CIA agent and absentee father in Nick Santora’s “FUBAR.” Luke receives what will be his final mission—rescuing another operative—just as he is ready to retire. The fact that the operative is her daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro), who has been working covertly for a while, shocks him to no end. Stopping Boro (Gabriel Luna), a man in possession of a weapon of mass destruction, is the goal.
In addition to becoming Boro’s surrogate father, Luke also killed his biological father since he was a national security threat, which adds a personal touch. The tense father-daughter relationship and the high stakes action make “FUBAR” a fun spy comedy-drama that has a good amount of humor and action. The show is available to stream online.
4. Two Fathers
The drama series “Two Fathers” is set in Taiwan and revolves around two men, Tang Xiang Xi (Weber Yang) and Wen Zhen Hua (Lin You-wei), who choose to raise 7-year-old Tang Wen Di (Le Le) together after her mother leaves her in their care and is unaware of which of the two men is the girl’s father. Thus, the viewers are exposed to the highs and lows of fatherhood, which are frequently encroached upon by the child’s teacher and the men’s neighbors.
