Binge-worthy Netflix series you don't want to miss

TV may not be peaking quite the way it was a few years back, but there are still more than enough shows out there to keep you busy. After Netflix emerged on the scene and revolutionized how we all watched TV, it was joined by a huge swath of competitors determined to take advantage of the streaming boom. All of those competitors have great stuff to watch, but Netflix is still many people’s hub for all things TV. Even within the streamer, though, it can be difficult to figure out what the best shows on Netflix are.

Thankfully, that’s where this list comes in. We’ve compiled a rundown of what to watch on Netflix, and these Netflix shows should add up to days and days of endless binging. You can also check out our list of the best Hulu series, best Amazon Prime series, best Disney Plus series, and best Netflix movies after you’ve made it through the series listed below.

Band of Brothers (2001)

Band of Brothers
tv-ma 1 Season
Genre Drama, War & Politics
Cast Damian Lewis, Donnie Wahlberg, David Schwimmer
Another HBO classic that’s making its Netflix debut, Band of Brothers chronicles the history of World War II from the perspective of a single American company. The show follows these soldiers through training camp and into the trenches, and it’s a riveting look at what it meant to be a soldier at that time. Thanks to Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’s work producing the series, the show feels epic in scope and deeply emotional. On top of all that, the show’s cast features a number of future stars.

Insecure (2016)

Insecure
tv-ma 5 Seasons
Genre Comedy, Drama
Cast Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis
Created by Larry Wilmore, Issa Rae
HBO is now putting some of its premiere shows on Netflix, which means you can watch Insecure in its entirety as a new show on Netflix. The show stars Issa Rae as an unfamous version of herself who is regularly confronted with the awkwardness of everyday life. Alongside her best friend Molly, the two explore everything it means to be a Black woman in America in the late 2010s. Insecure is consistently funny, and proves that Issa Rae could be just as funny writing jokes as she is delivering them on screen.

The Diplomat (2023)

The Diplomat
tv-ma 1 Season
Genre Drama
Cast Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi
Created by Debora Cahn
Following a career diplomat who suddenly finds herself in the spotlight, The Diplomat is a zippy show that combines everything you loved about The West Wing with the soapiness of Grey’s Anatomy. It’s not high art, exactly, but thanks to excellent central performances from Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell, who plays her defiant, loose-cannon husband, everything comes together beautifully. Is this a great way to learn about how foreign policy actually works? No. Is it thoroughly absorbing in its own, slightly silly way? Absolutely.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Better Call Saul
tv-ma 6 Seasons
Genre Crime, Drama
Cast Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn
Created by Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan
On paper, there are few TV shows that seem like worse ideas than Better Call Saul. Designed as a prequel series to Breaking Bad, and focused on Walter White’s attorney Saul Goodman, the show seemed like it would undoubtedly mar the legacy of its predecessor. Instead, Better Call Saul was so brilliantly written, performed, and directed, that there are some who think it actually eclipses Breaking Bad. Wherever you rank each show, Saul is undoubtedly worthy of its predecessor and also managed to run for one more episode than Breaking Bad did.

BEEF (2023)

BEEF
tv-ma 1 Season
Genre Comedy, Drama
Cast Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Joseph Lee
Created by Lee Sung-jin
Telling the story of two angry thirty-somethings who, fueled by their rage, have an ongoing battle with one another, BEEF is one of the more original series you’re likely to see on Netflix or any other streaming service. Featuring stellar lead performances from Stephen Yeun and Ali Wong, the show is about how hard it can be to find happiness, no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. Thanks to sharp writing and a solid supporting cast, BEEF is both funny and deeply moving, a reminder that battling your own rage can be exhausting in and of itself.

You (2018)

You
tv-ma 4 Seasons
Genre Mystery, Crime, Drama
Cast Penn Badgley, Charlotte Ritchie, Tilly Keeper
Created by Greg Berlanti, Sera Gamble
Although You didn’t originally air on Netflix, the show became a phenomenon after it was ported to the streamer after airing its first season on Lifetime. From there, it became genuinely beloved thanks to its demented combination of morbidity and humor. Penn Badgley’s central performance as Joe Goldberg has kept us anchored the entire time, and even as the show has gotten more deranged with each passing season, it’s hard to deny that it’s also deeply effective.

Derry Girls (2018)

Derry Girls
tv-ma 3 Seasons
Genre Comedy
Cast Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan
Created by Lisa McGee
Set against the backdrop of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Derry Girls follows a group of teens as they navigate their personal lives and live through turmoil. Throughout its run, Derry Girls has stood out from other Netflix comedies in part thanks to its wonderful young cast, who all prove to be remarkably gifted young actors even though they are largely unknown. The show also has an ideal mix of acerbic wit and grounded, emotional stories that will hook viewers episode after episode, and keep them coming back for more.

Sex Education (2019)

Sex Education
81 %
8.4/10
tv-ma 4 Seasons
Genre Comedy, Drama
Cast Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa
Created by Laurie Nunn
One of the major benefits of Netflix has been the way it exposes American audiences to shows that were produced in the U.K., and there may be no better example of that trend than Sex Education. The show follows a group of teenagers living in a small British town who are experiencing a wide variety of normal sexual awakenings. From its very first scene, Sex Education is remarkably frank about sex, and what it means for people of all ages. It’s also smart, blisteringly funny, and features one of the best ensembles of young talent on either side of the pond.

In addition to the stunning outdoor expanses that serve as the show’s setting, Sweet Tooth also features a pair of highly endearing central performances that will keep you watching until the very end.

After becoming a child prodigy, she goes on to break gender norms and defeat grandmasters. Child stardom comes at a price, though, as she struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse on her way to the top.

Genre Comedy
Cast Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Portia De Rossi
Created by Mitchell Hurwitz
Following the largely despicable Bluths, a very wealthy family who finally discover that their wealth has been founded on lies and deceit after their patriarch is arrested, Arrested Development is one of the best comedies in TV history. Seemingly the only sane one in the family, Michael Bluth must attempt to keep everyone else above water as their way of life crumbles around them. This shows features some of the most quotable lines in comedy history, and Netflix even revived it for a more recent, albeit less successful, run.

Peaky Blinders
8.8/10
tv-ma 6 Seasons
Genre Drama, Crime, Historical Fiction
Cast Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, Helen McCrory
Created by Steven Knight
Incredibly acted and shockingly graphic, Peaky Blinders is a period-piece crime drama loosely based on the real Shelby crime family. Shortly after World War I, an infamous Irish crime family infiltrated and uprooted high-class society during the peak of its riches and splendor. The show is focused primarily on Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), the leader of Peaky Blinders, who must establish and maintain power by means of fear and brutality. Disclaimer: This is not at all a show for kids.

7.9/10
tv-ma 7 Seasons
Genre Animation, Comedy, Romance
Cast Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jesse Klein
Created by Jennifer Flackett, Andrew Goldberg, Nick Kroll
One of Netflix’s longest running animated shows, Big Mouth pushes the envelope in graphic, often hilarious ways. Following a group of confused adolescents and their individual journeys through the process of growing up, we are subject to their strange, dark fantasies and mythical creatures such as “hormone monsters,” a “shame wizard,” and a “depression kitty” that prove to be remarkably apt metaphors for much of what young people go through.

The Great British Baking Show
8.5/10
tv-pg 13 Seasons
Genre Reality-TV
Cast Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Sandi Toksvig, Noel Fielding, Matt Lucas
Created by Andy Devonshire
Many competitive food shows tend to feature intense, cut-throat culinary challenges, but The Great British Baking Show is the exact opposite of that. This lovely Netflix cooking show is full of sweet treats and calming British accents, all set amid the beautiful English countryside.

The Crown (2016)

The Crown
84 %
8.6/10
tv-ma 6 Seasons
Genre Biography, Drama, History
Cast Claire Foy, Olivia Colman, Imelda Staunton
Created by Peter Morgan
Chronicling a dramatized portrayal of the recent history of the British royal family, The Crown freely speculates about the way they may have handled the political and personal turmoil around them, with some real-life historical details added for emphasis. Wonderfully acted and dazzlingly realized, The Crown is ultimately about what it means to be the monarch in an age when that title is largely ceremonial. Queen Elizabeth’s power is in what she doesn’t do, and yet the show is somehow riveting anyway.

78 %

Cast Hasan Minhaj, Joyelle Johnson, Arnab Goswami
Created by Hasan Minhaj, Prashanth Venkataramanujam
If you’ve seen and enjoyed Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj should be your next stop. The show is a bit more harshly pointed at the corporations and politicians of today’s world, but it’s often just as funny. Minhaj wanted to create a show that was “timely and timeless.” Unfortunately, this show seemed to bite a bit too hard as Netflix canceled it after six seasons, despite it winning an Emmy, a Peabody Award, and two Webby Awards.

Picking up where the iconic ’80s trilogy that started with The Karate Kid left off, Cobra Kai revives all the old rivalries and fighting styles that made it so memorable. Plagued by his embarrassing loss in the All Valley Karate Tournament against Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) half-drunkenly revives the once-dead Cobra Kai karate studio in an attempt to take his life back.

According to Viking experts, Norsemen is one of the most accurate depictions of what life might have been like in that time. On top of that, the show is absolutely hilarious. It’s a good series to watch even if it’s never cracked Netflix’s top 10.

More than 10 years after the original series went off the air, Netflix decided to reboot Queer Eye with an entirely new Fab Five in Atlanta. Rather than just offering fashion tips, recipes, and a makeover, however, the style experts provide apt social commentary to everyone they work with. All in all, it’s an easy show to binge and will likely leave you with a good feeling that lasts long after the credits roll. We’ve also found even more fashion documentaries on Netflix if you’re interested.

True-crime podcasts and true-crime shows are great, but crafting them into compelling dramas can be tricky. Mindhunter is a Netflix show based on the true story of the people at the forefront of the then-emerging science of profiling serial killers. The show follows FBI agent Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) as he and his team interview serial killers across the U.S. in an attempt to understand why they do what they do. Tragically, this great series was cut short after just two seasons on the air.

When a young boy in a small German town goes missing, his family and the people of the town start to notice some strange coincidences and patterns in the town’s history. Dark has some incredible performances and a well-written plot, but it requires a lot of attention to understand what is going because of its sprawling ensemble cast and its complicated narrative conceit.

In a wild mix of sci-fi themes and terrifyingly not-so-distant-future technology, Black Mirror will thrill, entice, and possibly scare you.

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are both legends, and with good reason. The two teamed up for Dead to Me, which follows their characters as they become friends and decide to try to solve the hit-and-run death of one of their husbands. Over the course of its three seasons, Dead to Me takes a number of twists and turns, but the real reason to keep watching is because both Cardellini and Applegate remain excellent throughout, and especially so in the third and final season.

Cast Joe Locke, Kit Connor, William Gao
Created by Alice Oseman
Following a pair of British teenagers who discover that their friendship may actually be something more, one of the chief joys of Heartstopper is the way that the central relationship is allowed to naturally progress. Few shows are more delicate or lovely about young gay romance, and few have managed to make such a lasting impact so quickly. The British exports are some of the best shows on Netflix, and Heartstopper is definitely among them.

Mo

Genre Comedy, Drama
Cast Mo Amer, Teresa Ruiz, Farah Bsieso
Created by Mo Amer, Ramy Youssef
Telling the story of a Palestinian refugee who’s hoping to make America his permanent home, Mo is not nearly as heavy as that premise may make it sound. The series stars Mo Amer, a comedian whose life has plenty in common with the character he’s playing. Mo is light on its feet and incredibly funny, and gives non-Palestinian viewers a window into that culture that never feels overly broad or unspecific. Mo is a delight, and one that Netflix just debuted in 2022.

The series comes from Mike Flanagan, perhaps the most famous horror mind working at Netflix. The Fall of the House of Usher features some of Flanagan’s usual players, and while it can be a bit talky at times, it remains thoroughly engaging and genuinely terrifying, from beginning to end.

An animated series aimed squarely at adults, Blue Eye Samurai is stylish, thrilling, and feels entirely distinct. Following a female samurai who is on a quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, Blue Eye Samurai earned rave reviews the second it first debuted as one of the new shows on Netflix.

Russian Doll
tv-ma 2 Seasons

Cast Natasha Lyonne, Charlie Barnett, Greta Lee
Created by Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, Leslye Headland
Thanks in large part to the incredible charisma of Natasha Lyonne, Russian Doll was one of the most captivating shows in the history of Netflix when it first debuted. The series tells the story of a computer programmer living in New York who finds herself reliving the same day over and over until she dies. This Groundhog Day twist allowed Lyonne to get plenty of laughs, but also found ways to get profound as it went along, exorcising the traumas at the heart of its central character without offering any easy answers.

Never Have I Ever (2020)

Never Have I Ever
tv-14 4 Seasons
Genre Comedy, Drama
Cast Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Poorna Jagannathan, Jaren Lewison
Created by Mindy Kaling, Lang Fisher
One of the best coming-of-age shows in recent memory, Never Have I Ever tells the story of a young Indian-American woman named Devi and her friends and family as they navigate the final years of her time in high school. The show spends plenty of time focused on Devi’s love life, but ultimately, it’s a show about the narcissism of youth and how difficult it can be to see the world from someone else’s perspective. Never Have I Ever is also frequently hilarious, and that combination easily makes it one of Netflix’s best comedies.

One Day (2024)

One Day

Genre Drama
Cast Ambika Mod, Leo Woodall, Essie Davis
Created by Nicole Taylor
Adapted from a novel and movie of the same name, One Day tells the story of a single couple over more than 20 years, checking in with them on the same day every year. Thanks to wonderful performances from its two highly charismatic leads, One Day is both sweet and sappy, and it’s one of the best romantic dramas that Netflix has ever produced. The way the story is structured also translates perfectly to TV, as each episode confines itself to a single day, and the show is allowed to shift effortlessly between its two main characters.

Apple TV Plus finally adds this feature that other streaming platforms have — but there’s a catch
Apple TV Plus adds third-party content
The Apple TV Plus Logo

One of the things that unites most of the best streaming services is that, in addition to all of the original content they produce, they also have a selection of movies and TV shows that originally aired or were created somewhere else. This back catalog leads to a more robust library, and, at least in theory, attracts people who might be turned off by the limitations of seeing only original offerings. This is true for almost every streaming platform with the exception of Apple TV Plus, at least until now.

In anticipation of the 2024 Oscars, Apple TV Plus has announced that more than 50 older movies are hitting the service for the first time. Those films include some award winners and some more populist picks designed to celebrate the broad range of what movies can offer.

Need a reason to watch The Gentlemen? We've got three.
Theo James in The Gentlemen.

One of the best shows on Netflix in March is about to premiere, and The Gentlemen may sound familiar to anyone who saw Guy Ritchie's film of the same name in 2019.

9 classic horror movies you need to know – The Exorcist, Psycho, and more
If you're a fan of the classics, then classic horror should be on your list, including these films
Horror movie scene watching at home

Things can be pretty scary with everything that's currently happening in the world, and we're all looking for some sort of distraction to get our minds off it, even just for a little while. Instead of doomscrolling social media, why not get scared about something outrageous as opposed to something all too real?
Horror movies aren't simple, escapist fare, though. In fact, they are pretty inscrutable: Character motivations rarely make much sense, and what are those monsters even doing anyway? What media scholars call "intertextuality" -- how works of art refer to other works of art to give them meaning in specific contexts -- is important for understanding horror, in that some of these movies simply don’t make sense unless you’ve seen the ones that came before them.
If that’s the case: What are the movies you have to watch for more modern films to be legible? We’ve put together a list of the most essential horror movies ever made and justifications for their cultural relevance. Get ready to scream.

The Shining (1980)
