Based on the novel Awkward Black Girl by star Issa Rae, Insecure is a comedy from HBO that follows two best friends in their late twenties and shows their personal and professional lives as they live in South Los Angeles. The series was nominated for and won several Primetime Emmy Awards.
Breaking Bad (2008 - 2013)
There are few shows that changed the trajectory of a lead actor’s career more so than what Breaking Bad did for series lead, Bryan Cranston. Over the course of the show’s five seasons, Cranston’s Walter White transforms himself from an unassuming high school chemistry teacher to a notorious drug lord known simply as “Heisenberg.” Watch out, because this show will suck you in and won’t let you out until hours later. It will be coming off of Netflix soon, so you better get your binges in now. Also, if you love Breaking Bad, you should check out Better Call Saul, a prequel that tells the rise – and fall – of Saul Goodman, who is Walter White’s lawyer in the show.

And yes, I will always be incredibly jealous of how beautiful these apartments look.

Wednesday (2022 - Present)
They're creepy and they're kooky – well, at least Wednesday certainly is. In this Netflix original show, we get the story of the eldest child in the Addams family and her time at Nevermore, a school for outcasts, as she tries to solve a monster case that has been plaguing the town of Jericho.
Wednesday has become one of the biggest shows on Netflix, even surpassing the records that Stranger Things once had for the most hours streamed in one week. And honestly, it's for good reason. Jenna Ortega is fantastic in the lead role, and the rest of the Wednesday cast is full of stars. Now we only need to wait for Wednesday Season 2 to come - and hopefully have some changes to the character as a whole, thanks to Ortega. There are even cute clothes to wear from the show.
Alice In Borderland (2020 – Present)
Hailing from Japan, Alice in Borderland is the sci-fi thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat instantly. The series is based on the manga of the same name, and follows two young people as they try to survive in a series of dangerous games in order to extend their “visas,” and if they expire, the contestants are killed. The series takes some pretty cool twists and turns, and with a third season confirmed, now is the time to check it out.

Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, Nobody Wants This is the romantic comedy series that you can easily binge in one afternoon.

Beef (2023)
A24 rarely ever misses, and Beef is just the perfect example of that. This Netflix original series starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun is a comedy-drama that tells the story of two strangers who cross paths thanks to their mutual road rage at each other. But one thing leads to another, and this random meeting leads to a feud that changes both of their lives forever, and not in the best way.
The show itself won several Primetime Emmy Awards in 2024, including the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, as well as Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. It's truly one of the best shows of 2023 -- and there's even a possible Beef Season 2 in the works, but for now, enjoy these ten episodes.
You (2018 - Present)
Ever wonder what it’s like if someone is obsessively in love with you? That’s just part of what You is about.

Young Royals (2021 - 2024)
While Young Royals may be from overseas (it is a Swedish show), you’ll be swooning all the same at this teen drama/romance. The series takes place at an elite boarding school called Hillerska, where a prince attends – and how he falls for another student there, causing drama to ensue. The series is complete, with three seasons and only eighteen episodes, but I promise you it’s so good.

Running for four seasons, The Good Place follows the story of a woman welcomed into the supposed “good place” after she dies, wondering why on earth she is there because she wasn’t really the best person while she was alive. However, she tries to hide her past and instead try to become good, while making unlikely allies all around her as secrets are revealed.
Stream The Good Place on Netflix.
Community (2009 - 2015)
For six seasons, Community was one of the funniest and most unique comedies on television and the cult favorite ended up helping to launch the careers of everyone from Alison Brie to Donald Glover and Gillian Jacobs to even the Russo brothers in a way. There is a certain quality and charm to the show about the students and faculty at Greendale Community College that makes them feel like family to the viewer, family you don’t mind spending hours with on the couch. And now, we're going to be getting that Community movie we've been craving.
Queer Eye (2018 – Present)
A reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the Netflix series has been running for several seasons and follows five gay men as they travel from city to city to help people who need to upgrade their lives, from their clothing to their cooking to their confidence. There are nine seasons total, so far, to watch.
Arcane (2021 – Present)
I’ll be the first to say that you do not need to be into League of Legends to enjoy Arcane. This fantastic animated series on Netflix follows two sisters who grow up in vastly different worlds after the death of their adoptive father. And one day, everything comes crashing down when they reunite in a world that is split into two classes – the above, and the below. There are two full seasons out.
The Blacklist (2013 – 2023)
Running for ten seasons, The Blacklist was one of the biggest shows out there for a long time. Starring James Spader, the series follows the story of one of the most wanted fugitives out there who ends up working with the FBI in order to hunt down other criminals. It was a huge success for NBC.
Stream The Blacklist on Netflix.
Grey’s Anatomy (2005 - Present)
Grey’s Anatomy is the longest-running show on this list, with a total of twenty seasons available to watch. Originally, the premise was all about Meredith Grey, a first-year intern working at Seattle Grace Hospital, and the people she met there who changed her. But, as time has gone on, there have been so many other major storylines and characters that you’d have to have several marathons to somehow catch up on the series after all this time. If you’re up for the challenge, though, it’s certainly one that will hold your attention.
Stream Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix.
Project Runway (2004 – Present)
Get ready to strut and to feel as if your fashion sense is lacking. Project Runway is a reality competition series that has run for twenty years, and follows contestants as they compete to create the best clothes through challenges, until only a few remain to show their collections in New York Fashion Week and be named a winner. The series is incredibly popular, and if fashion is your thing, it’s a great one to get into.

Orange Is The New Black (2013 – 2019)
A Netflix original, Orange is the New Black is a series that truly took the world by storm when it was released. Based on the novel of the same name, the series follows Piper Chapman, who’s incarcerated at a female-only prison and chronicles her interactions there, including a run-in with her previous lover. The series was a huge success and won several awards, so it’s an awesome show to check out.
Stream Orange is the New Black on Netflix.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013 – 2021)
I truly consider Brooklyn Nine-Nine one of the last best workplace sitcoms because it’s just so good. The series follows a group of police officers, detectives and more at a fictional police precinct in New York City, and tells the story of all their personal and professional lives. The series is led by Andy Samberg, and the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast is just as hilarious as its star. Truly, such a great show.
Stream Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix.
Narcos (2015 - 2017)
Narcos is a crime series that focuses on the story of Pablo Escobar and his rise to fame when he became the leader of the Medellin Cartel and started to distribute cocaine throughout all of Mexico and later on, North America in general. It also stars Pedro Pascal in one of his best roles as Javier Peña, one of the DEA agents assigned to bring down Escobar.
Santa Clarita Diet (2017 – 2019)
It is a crime that this show was cancelled after three seasons and I will never stop recommending it. Santa Clarita Diet stars Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as a married couple who live in Santa Clarita, but everything changes when Barrymore’s character, Sheila, consumes something that turns her into a zombie, and now her family must deal with the consequences.
Stream Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix.
Dan Da Dan (2024 – Present)
Okay, so I’m going to preface this by saying that you should certainly be a fan of anime already before watching this because it is wild, and if you are,know that Dan Da Dan is one of my favorite anime of 2024. The series follows the story of two high schoolers – one who believes in aliens and the other in the occult – so they force the other to go to areas that have either aliens or ghosts to prove the other wrong. One gets abducted. The other gets possessed. And now, it’s all about trying to stop the aliens through the power of the occult. Yes, it’s wacky and crazy and a ton of fun.
Bridgerton (2020 - Present)
With three seasons to watch, the Netflix original series Bridgerton has all the makings of a binge-worthy show. With an outstanding and diverse cast, an engaging story about families in England’s Regency era seeking love, fortune, and power, and a clever way of incorporating modern music and culture into a long ago period, the show is a fascinating addition to the Netflix library.
If you want more of the Bridgerton universe, check out Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story which came out in May 2023. It’s a great way to learn about everyone's favorite queen. And now, Bridgerton Season 4 is confirmed.
Death Note (2006 – 2007)
If you’re trying to get into anime, I can recommend no better than Death Note on Netflix. The series is based on the successful manga of the same name and follows a high schooler who finds a mysterious notebook that, when a name is written in there, that same person dies. So now, he is given immense power to rid the world of evil – what could go wrong?
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 - 2008)
While there’s a new live-action series based on the animated version, we’re talking about the original animated Avatar: The Last Airbender here. In a world that has four different nations separated by elemental powers, the Fire Nation is looking to take over everything, but one person, known as the Avatar, master of all four elements, is the only one who can stop them. The only problem is that he’s a 112-year-old novice who has been frozen in an iceberg for a century.
Truly, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a gem of a show, and if you’ve never seen it, you need to.

With two seasons, this show is such a gem – and yes, there’s already a Heartstopper Season 3 on the way.

Suits (2011 – 2019)
Taking place over nine seasons, Suits is the legal drama that will lure you in almost instantly. The series follows the story of a college dropout who has a photographic memory and works for an attorney, and their time together at a law firm. The series was popular when it aired on USA, but has grown an even bigger following since it arrived on Netflix, and is getting a spin-off series called Suits LA.
How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014)
How I Met Your Mother is probably one of the most iconic comedy shows of all time – if you forget about the finale, but that’s besides the point. How I Met Your Mother follows the story of Ted Mosby, and how he recounts to his children of how he met their mother, following his life as well as the personal lives of his friends as well. It really is a hilarious series, even if the last season can be a bit tiresome at times.
Stream How I Met Your Mother on Netflix.
Yellowjackets (2021 – Present)
Hailing as one of the best Showtime shows right now, Yellowjackets poses the question: what would you do to survive? The series bounces back between two different timelines – the 1990s, where a soccer team struggles to survive in the Canadian wilderness when their plane crashes on the way to a championship, and present day, where the remaining survivors are haunted by their past deeds and a new threat that is a danger to their lives.

Love Is Blind (2020 – Present)
Oh, this series is always a drama-fest and I am here for it. Love Is Blind is a reality show that puts couples in pods for a couple weeks of dating and have to come out engaged, but the only thing is that they don’t see each other until the engagement – falling solely based on personality. They are then put to the test over a few weeks to see if love is truly blind. Another season is releasing in February 2025.

Looking for one of the most iconic horror shows of all time? Check out The Walking Dead.

With compelling characters such as Negan or Rick Grimes to root for, and some truly gnarly zombie action, The Walking Dead is the perfect show to binge for the horror enthusiast.

Stream School Spirits on Netflix.
The Crown (2016 - 2023)
The Crown is one of those shows that almost has to be binged to get the full experience. With so many characters coming in and out of Buckingham Palace (and 10 Downing Street) over the course of each of the show’s six seasons, there’s a lot to keep track of, but it pays off handsomely. From the final days of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II taking over the throne up to the late 1980s, Peter Morgan’s tireless efforts to unfold the drama of the royal family make for one of the most engaging and enchanting shows of the modern era.
The 100 (2014 - 2020)
The 100 is hands down one of the best CW shows, and I stand by that even with its divisive last season. The 100 is a series that follows a group of delinquents who are sent down from a space station to see if the earth can be rehabilitated years after a nuclear disaster. What they find will shock the humans and more.
The Queen’s Gambit (2020)
There are few limited series that grabbed a hold of the Netflix subscriber base more than The Queen’s Gambit in late 2020. Seriously, the story of a young chess prodigy with all sorts of demons and personal struggles to overcome, told over seven episodes, is a masterpiece in television drama. From the early days of Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) learning to play chess in an orphanage’s basement to the show’s fulfilling ending, The Queen’s Gambit is damn near perfect from top to bottom.
Stream The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix.

Black Mirror (2011 - Present)
There are few shows as fun or terrifying as the sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror.

Plus, some of today’s biggest stars of film and television got their big break here, like Daniel Kaluuya. Black Mirror Season 7 is happening, so might as well check out the first six seasons.

Cobra Kai (2018 - Present)
Who would have thought a continuation of The Karate Kid decades later would be so much fun? Well, that’s the case for Cobra Kai, the former YouTube original that found a home on Netflix later on.

Five seasons are out now, with each one containing killer fights, and two parts of Season 6 have streamed, with the third coming out in February 2025.
Sex And The City (1998 - 2004)
I’m pretty sure that Sex and the City absolutely defined the early years of the 2000s because I hear so much about this show, even now, twenty years after it finished.
