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.
