Below you’ll find an ever-expanding recommended list of TV shows available on Netflix, curated by us TV-obsessives. The mix covers a myriad of genres, lengths, countries of origins, and much more, but the one thing they have in common is that they are all excellent. If you want the full monty, peruse our picks for the best series and TV shows on Netflix right now below.
1. Wednesday
Tim Burton's coming-of-age fantasy comedy stars Jenna Ortega as a teenage Wednesday Addams who enrolls at a centuries-old boarding school called Nevermore Academy. While at the academy, Wednesday must learn to control her own emerging psychic powers, stop a monster from destroying the town, and solve the supernatural mystery that affected her family some 25 years prior.
2. Ozark
Just when we needed to fill the Breaking Bad-shaped hole in our lives, Ozark delivered. After his money laundering aspirations go awry, Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) finds himself (and his family) mixed up with all manner of dangerous and unscrupulous people in the Missouri Ozarks.
And that's just the beginning of the story. The entire show is not available on Netflix, meaning you can watch the full adventure right now. It's filled with all the action, twists, turns, and WTF cliffhangers you'd come to expect from a top-tier Netflix series. If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, you will love this.
3. Vikings: Valhalla
Vikings: Valhalla is set 100 years after the History Channel's original Vikings series, at a time when the Vikings had overrun England, taken control of Normandy in France, and ventured across the Atlantic Ocean – but their time in England was nearing an end. It follows the adventures of Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett), Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter) – some of history's most famous Norse men and women.
Like the original Vikings series, Valhalla is bold, bloody, and brilliant. The first season crams so much action into the opening salvo that you'll be wondering where the show goes from here
4. Class
Story: This is an official adaptation of the popular Spanish teen drama ‘Elite,’ which is about the caste barriers between high-profile young adults studying at a prestigious school and new scholarship students who join them from the slums and upend the established social order. Things worsen when one of the students is murdered, turning everyone into a suspect. And when the investigation begins, everyone has their own version of what happened; however, only time will reveal the truth.
