Best series on netflix

Love is in the air! So is pain and suffering. Our list of the best shows to watch on Netflix right now features the lovesick teens of Mindy Kaling's rom-com Never Have I Ever, but it also includes the grueling Tour de France: Unchained, a docuseries about the infamous cycling race that turns men into jelly, and Siren: Survive the Island, a reality competition in which Korea's toughest women pummel each other. Love and pain. Pain and love. What more is there? This list is weighted toward the best shows to watch on Netflix right now, which means recently released Netflix Originals take priority, though you'll find legacy Netflix shows further down the list. These are only the most relevant and worthwhile shows to watch on Netflix. Last updated June 16; newer additions are at the top For fans of: Teen romance, Mindy Kaling, the omniscient voice of John McEnroe Number of seasons: 4 Tour de France: Unchained A.S.O./Pauline Ballet Another quality addition to Netflix's growing team of sports docuseries focuses on the world's most prestigious — and most grueling — cycling race. The French production takes you inside the peloton with the greatest cyclists in the world, as they push their bodies to the limits, take huge spills, and do whatever it takes to get the yellow jersey. This one's a bit more extreme than other Netflix sports docuseries. - Tim Surette [ Trailer ] Siren: Survive the Island For fans of: Squid Game, Physical 100, team-based strategy games Number of seasons: 1 Si...

Netflix's first Korean-language series sets itself apart from other zombie media by placing the outbreak in the 16th century. Over the course of 12 episodes and a sequel special, we see the decimation of a kingdom at the hand of a flesh-eating virus, and survivors can only fend off the undead with armor, swords, bows, and arrows. The series fuses zombie horror with historical drama and political thriller, as rival factions compete to seize the throne. It's a riveting series that breathes much-needed life into the subgenre, especially if you're burnt out on the modern-day antics of The Walking Dead universe. You don't have to be a League of Legends superfan to see the value in Arcane. The animated video game spin-off explores the lore of its source material with a story that pits two sisters ( Yellowjackets' Ella Purnell) on opposite ends of a battle between a thriving but insidious society and its underserved revolutionary underbelly. The series refuses to reduce its warring factions to ideological simplicity, instead embracing the moral complexity of each side and painting its characters in shades of gray. Most importantly, the visual aesthetic is top-notch, using unusually dynamic movement, vivid color, and distinct character designs to fill its sci-fi/fantasy world with exhilarating action and exquisite detail. The Korean drama enjoyed Netflix's Squid Game pits indebted everyman Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) against hundreds of competitors to win cash playing schoolyard g...

There’s no way to select just 75 TV shows from a catalog as large as Netflix’s without making someone mad. Even if you start off by eliminating nontheatrical (formerly “made-for-TV”) movies, one-off comedy specials and others that could reasonably exist under the TV show umbrella, you’re left with an almost impossible array of options. Who’s to say this anime is better than that sitcom, or that melodrama is better than this docuseries? Still, a 75-item unranked list is no fun — and perhaps not terribly helpful if you too need help sorting through all the streamer has to offer. So we surveyed the eight-member Times TV team about individual picks for the best TV shows on Netflix and compiled the results into this master list. The choices, as you might expect, are sometimes idiosyncratic, possibly controversial and always deeply personal. For us, there’s no other way to talk about TV. So, without further ado, here’s our anything-but-exhaustive guide to the 75 best TV shows on Netflix, which we’ll be updating regularly as tastes change and titles come and go from the platform. We’re sure it’ll leave everyone dissatisfied in one way or another. If it didn’t, it wouldn’t be a very good list. — Matt Brennan This car wreck of a show is a disturbing ride through the world of big cat breeder/wildlife collector Joe Exotic (a.k.a. Joseph Maldonado-Passage). He’s an attention-seeking sociopath whose fiefdom was an Oklahoma roadside zoo attraction, a gun-waving internet troll who openly...

It's hard to go a single day without hearing the word "Netflix." The platform has risen from its humble origins as a DVD delivery service and competitor to Blockbuster to become an unbelievably successful streaming service. New content is constantly being added, ranging from contemporary comedies to dark fantasies. Netflix also produces and distributes their own films and television series, which are branded as Netflix Originals. Though quality certainly varies from exceptional to downright dreadful, there really is something for everyone on the service. This Spanish series is one of Netflix's finest, and its twisty thrills are a delight to behold. Featuring some really fascinating characters, "Money Heist" is about – well, money heists. There's a criminal mastermind known as "The Professor," and they have a scheme to pull off the biggest heist in history by printing billions of euros right in the Royal Mint of Spain. In order to enact their plan, The Professor recruits eight people, each with certain abilities to help pull it all off, and all of them are linked by one thing: they have nothing to lose. Created by Robia Rashid, "Atypical" is a wonderful coming-of-age dramedy focusing on the life of 18-year-old Sam Gardner (Keir Gilchrist), who is on the autism spectrum. Sam is very intelligent and extremely passionate about penguins. He works at a tech store with his best friend Zahid (Nik Dodani) and lives at home with his overbearing mother Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), fa...
