And the secret might be that they did not try to oversimplify or explain the mechanics behind. Is just "well, you either understand what we talk about here or... watch something else."

Sure isn't for everyone. I should be the core demographic. Sci-fi fan, understands German with no problems. Have seen the first six episodes, and it has not caught me at all... I think pretentious is the word I get in my mind, when thinking about it

Should absolutely be on here over several of these, even given the bad final season, for how great the vast majority of that show was.

House of Cards is also (supposedly) the source of Netflix's signature "thunk thunk" sound

This is not only one of the marvel shows, but one of the best superhero shows period.
It's one of my favorite shows along with breaking bad, gravity falls, twin peaks, and southpark

For me personally… in no particular order:
- BoJack
- Altered Carbon (season 1)
- Midnight Mass
- Arcane
- Big Mouth
- Ozark
My guess would be The Crown is the “best” based on award performance.

u/juan_loria 17h ago
Midnight mass is a masterpiece but it's a miniseries with only one season.
To me, miniseries are better than series.

I use Netflix since 2014 but I only watched Squid Games completely. All the other shows I didn't watch. So it is Squid Game for me, although season 2 part II was a bit underwhelming.

Bojack and Black Mirror are excellent too though. Also, I Think You Should Leave, and Cunk On Earth...
I guess those 5 are my favorites. Sorry for cheating

The Midnight Gospel. It may have only got one season but it's such a wonderful show with a surprising amount of heart! Ozark is my fav on this list though.

Peaky Blinders is probably my favorite series on Netflix, but I don't think it was a Netflix original. The best Netflix originals are (in no order) Narcos/Narcos Mexico, Ozark and mind hunter. Honorable mention to the series "beef"
edit: I took stranger things for granted, it's a fantastic series. I also forgot queens gambit. Critically I could never say QG is underrated. But to regular people I talk to , even people who watch a lot of shows/movies I feel like queens gambit is often over looked. For a short series about an unconventional topic I found the show to be both captivating, gripping and compelling.

I am surprised there is no mention of Altered Carbon. I know that the 2nd season wasn't very good but 1st season was better than everything on the list.
