The best is probably Narcos, especially season 1 and 2. My favorite is probably Stranger Things.

Also love The Queens Gambit and The Haunting of Hill House.

And House of Cards could have been god tier but those last few seasons are as bad as the last season of Game of Thrones.

The Dark Crystal AoR 💗💗💗its a crime they didn't made a second season 🥺

The haunting of Bly Manor and Hill House 🏤
I really like the style of the chilling adventures of Sabrina, its unlike the old show but still very fun.
Americal Vandal is super funny
I never could get into The Stranger Things or the Witcher for some reason.but im sure they r good.

The lack of Last Kingdom on this list is very distressing.
Arguably one of the greats of Netflix and one of the best medieval series out there.

Do you people have no shame? Witcher? Seriously, Witcher? The show was a forgettable mediocrity that couldn't even make Gerald interesting. The only plot line that was decent (but still pretty cliche) was Yennifer's. Oh God, and that fucking awful CGI...

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance | #FUNETFLIX​
Narcos Season 1​
The Mindhunter​
Making a Murderer​

Stranger Things Season 1​

top of the drops
Stranger Things Season 2, 3, 4 | "overstaying your welcome"​
Castlevania | .. it was not bad​
Ozark Season 2 | boring, predictable, no interest in a Season 3​
The Witcher | just "eh", why not ... nothing else on da TV?​
Narcos Season 2 and Mexico | both have kind of lost the appeal of Season 1​
The Last Dance | no need for a Season 2​
Black Mirror Season 1 | hot garbage, felt so cheap ...​
Marco Polo | watched some episodes, liked it but kind of forgot about it ..​

Cobra Kai is a YouTube original not Netflix. It moved over for season 3 but was started on YouTube. Great series.

Mindhunters and Stranger Things (not so much the third season) are the only ones from there I really enjoyed.

Hemlock Grove and Castlevania have been my favorites. Season 1 of Stranger Things was good, but went to shit after that.

Cobra Kai and the Witcher for me. The others I've liked are basically single seasons or only 1 season worth a shit (Altered Carbon, looking at you!!). Netflix is the epitome of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks AND hiring based on a social media algorithm that just produces vomit on screen. I was a subscriber for over a decade but now I just pop on for a few months to binge the decent stuff.

Cobra Kai is the answer but Cobra Kai and You and probably a slew of others on this list are not Netflix Originals.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
It's Cobra Kai
But it's not Netflix production or a YouTube one like people assume.
Distributor & production is Sony Pictures

Currently watching Archive 81, that shit is WILD.

Not as cerebral as Dark, but it hits the same tones for sure.

They all have one in common. They need to be trimmed, shortened and concluded.

I know they make these shows that are engaging with the audience to generate content. But it’s mostly filler at some point.

Whichever streaming company realizes that mini series are the better way to go I’ll jump ship.

The Queens Gambit was great. It was almost like a sports anime lol

If we are giving Black Mirror credit to Netflix then that too

Squid Game was a lot of fun too

Oh and Arcane is absolutely incredible

If you think you're too cool to watch 'The Crown', you're wrong.

It's great

It is great, I just find everything around royalty fandom to be super cringe. Like a posh version of the Kardashians. The modern royal family is probably the least interesting section of history they could have followed too

I think it becomes a bit too predictable and formulaic after it was picked up by Netflix.

My choice for best Netflix show that went on for more than 1 season is Marco Polo.

Maybe it’s because I joined late.
The first episode I watched was Season 4, ep1, USS Callister and it was amazing.

I then went back and watched from the start so the difference in quality was quite jarring, both visually and story-wise.

Black Mirror is great too, although at times inconsistent and I'm pretty sure it started off as a BBC series, which would mean it isn't a Netflix original series.

Midnight Mass is also really good.

but yeah, Bojack would have to be #1 for me. definitely the best animated show I've ever seen.

Even though I agree Black Mirror has gone downhill since the last season, it's still one of the best Netflix series along with Mindhunter. It's sad to see the low % for Money Heist though as that's also in Top 3 for me.
