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+ series, and best Netflix movies after you’ve made it through the series listed below.

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.

Watch on Netflix
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Watch on Netflix
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.

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.

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.

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.

The story follows the life of a washed-up sitcom star who made his claim to fame on a Full House style show in the 1980s and 1990s. BoJack (Will Arnett) struggles with depression, addiction, and maintaining relationships in this witty but dark comedy.

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. Each episode is entirely different, which means you can watch them completely out of order and still enjoy a gripping short film with high-profile guest stars and terrifyingly real conceits. With each new season, Black Mirror continues to shine a light on the dystopic qualities behind our technology, qualities that are only feeling more and more real with each passing day.

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.

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.

Although there’s been some behind-the-scenes drama around the show, it’s remained as compelling as ever on-screen through it all.

Adapting an Edgar Alan Poe story with a distinctly modern bent, The Fall of the House of Usher follows a powerful pharmaceutical dynasty that is forced to reckon with its past after members of the family start dying. 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.

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.

Few shows have ever been this wholesome and earnest and also this hugely successful, but Friday Night Lights managed to be a show about family and community that didn’t make you want to tear your hair out because it was too sweet or earnest. Thanks to a raft of great performers, both teens and adults, the show lasted for a remarkable five-season run, and four of those seasons are genuinely great.

Adapting Patricia Highsmith’s story of Tom Ripley, Ripley is just the latest adaptation of a story that many of us are already familiar with. Thanks to a central performance from Andrew Scott as Ripley, though, the show has a series of new layers worth exploring as it expands the story many first watched in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Tom Ripley is recruited to bring a wealthy heir home from Italy, but things don’t go entirely as planned once he arrives. Filmed in often astonishing black and white, Ripley lives up to the acclaim of prior adaptations of this story.

One of the most wildly acclaimed shows of any kind to debut recently, Scavengers Reign tells the story of a group of stranded space explorers who find themselves on a beautiful but incredibly dangerous planet in which everything seems engineered to kill them. Although it is animated, Scavengers Reign is pretty definitively a show for adults, and it isn’t exactly shy about that. While it does have its moments of graphic violence, though, the series is also an exploration of the places that humanity simply shouldn’t be, in spite of our insatiable desire for more.

While three of those people are in the good place and believe they deserve to be there, one becomes quickly convinced that she was sent there by mistake, and she has to avoid revealing that so that she doesn’t have to leave. While the show morphed and evolved from there, The Good Place never stopped having big ideas or matching those big ideas with some of the best joke writing on TV.

Eventually, he finds himself in conflict with the proprietors of that farm, and things get violent. Featuring a devil-may-care attitude and some brilliant fight choreography, The Gentlemen is exactly as fun as you might want it to be. It’s not high art, but most of the time, that’s not really what you want to watch at the end of a long day.

A brilliant detective show adapted from a series of novels from the 1970s, Dark Winds follows the story of a tribal inquiry into two Native American murders. Although it starts out as a show about an enveloping crime, Dark Winds is special in part because of the supernatural elements that become an increasingly prominent part of the story as it continues to unfold. Starring Zahn McClarnon, who has been a breakout in every performance he’s had for a decade, this is a show that could easily be slept on, but could just as easily entrance you.

A smart, Lord of the Flies style series about a girls’ soccer team that crashes in the Canadian wilderness in the late 1990s and the girls have to survive out there for 18 months, Yellowjackets is the perfect combination of soapy drama with potentially supernatural question marks. The series splits its focus between the girls trying to survive and the ones who made it out living as adults decades later. Through a careful exploration of drama, Yellowjackets manages to be a showcase for a generation of great actresses and a thrilling mystery show all at the same time.

A smart, low-key comedy, A Man on the Inside stars Ted Danson as a retired man who’s recruited to infiltrate a nursing home where some shady business is going down. As Danson digs deeper and deeper into the conspiracy inside the facility, he also encounters a number of lovely people living out their final days. A Man on the Inside gets a ton of benefit out of being set somewhere that few comedies have dared to go. Thanks to its largely elderly cast, it’s also a funny look at what it means to age and find yourself being taken care of at the end of your life.

Brown as a Secret Service agent to the late President of the United States (portrayed by Sonic the Hedgehog's James Marsden) who becomes embroiled in a murder mystery after the leader of the free world is killed immediately after making contact with Brown's character. People suspect that Brown is potentially the assassin, and he must work his way out of the mess while uncovering the secrets behind the investigation.

The series is created by Dan Fogelman (the creator of This is Us and therefore a collaborator with Brown from that series.) In a streaming world that now likes to lean heavily into cinematic themes and more theatrical storytelling on the small screen, it would appear that Hulu is allowing Fogelman a lot of creative liberties and a decent budget to make Paradise as thrilling and immersive as possible. We have all of the available information at your fingertips right here. This is everything we know so far about Paradise on Hulu.
