Here Are 84 Of The Best Shows On Netflix

BRB, watching TV until my eyes glaze over.

Okay, so there's a LOT of stuff that you could watch on Netflix.

Netflix

So much stuff, that choosing your next binge-watch can be a liiiiiittle bit daunting. Luckily, our trusty BuzzFeed team has figured out the best of the best, so you don't have to.

Netflix

Here are all the TV shows we recommend:

1. Young Royals

Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection

Netflix is back at it with another scandalous show about hot, wealthy teens. This time they've combined two of their hits (Elite and The Crown) to give us Young Royals, a show about a Swedish prince who needs to attend boarding school to avoid a scandal. It's got your typical teen drama fare, but lots of things that'll surprise you as well . Plus, the central romance between Prince Wilhelm and his classmate Simon is the stuff dream ships are made of.

2. Elite

Netflix

Elite is everything you could ever ask for in a sexy crime thriller about high schoolers. Here's the Season 1 plot: After admitting its first class of scholarship students, life at Las Encinas change forever when a student is shockingly murdered by one of her classmates. The thing is, every single one of them has motive. Elite is a rare kind of teen drama that doesn't welcome a new villain every season — instead, each season focuses on the events leading up to the initial tragedy, the effect it has on the students, and the messy aftermath. Where some teen dramas fall flat, Elite thrives. After the departure of some key cast members at the end of Season 3, Elite's fourth season introduced a few new characters to Las Encinas — but things are just as messy and steamy as they always are.

3. Shadow and Bone

Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection

Adapted from the Grishaverse novels by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone is exactly what you're looking for to fill the Game of Thrones-shaped hole in your heart. The show takes world-building to a whole new level, and you might want to write some of the terminology down as you watch because it's a lot — unless you read the books, that is. This might sound like more effort than you want to put into a TV show, but between the gorgeous sets and costumes, exciting fight scenes, and committed cast, it's well worth it.

4. Breaking Bad

AMC / courtesy Everett Collection

Breaking Bad is widely considered one of the best TV shows of all time, and now you can see for yourself why! All five seasons are on Netflix, along with the sequel film starring Aaron Paul. He and Bryan Cranston became globally acclaimed actors with these roles, and the show itself actually holds a record as the most critically acclaimed show of all time. You could say it's worth the hype.

5. Better Call Saul

Nicole Wilder / AMC / courtesy Everett Collection

Better Call Saul is a Breaking Bad spinoff, but it's actually a prequel focusing on the story of Saul Goodman (who's real name is Jimmy McGill) and how he became the charismatic, morally gray lawyer we know and love. Bob Odenkirk fleshes out his character to excellent result, and it's pretty clear why the show has been nominated for 39 Emmy awards.

6. Too Hot to Handle

Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection

Just how "real" is this reality dating show about hot people in bathing suits who can't touch each other? Unclear, TBH. But, like so many that have come before, Too Hot to Handle is best enjoyed when you don't take the dating hijinks too seriously and let yourself enjoy the ride. Whether you see it as a fun distraction or as an interesting social experiment, there's plenty to enjoy on this show.

7. Bridgerton

Netflix

All hail Shonda Rhimes and Chris Van Dusen, who gave us the Jane Austen meets Gossip Girl crossover we didn't know we needed. Bridgerton has it all: a talented and diverse cast, gorgeous outfits, period-appropriate intrigue, and lots (I mean LOTS) of steamy scenes. Once you finish the first episode, you'll find yourself speeding through the rest until the finale, then promptly experiencing Bridgerton withdrawal.

8. Downton Abbey

One of the most acclaimed period dramas on television is back on Netflix!

9. The Irregulars

Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection

You might be thinking, "We don't need any more Sherlock Holmes adaptations, do we?" but The Irregulars isn't just another retelling of the same old story. In this version, the legendary detective is barely present throughout the series as he's fallen on hard times and can't solve crimes like he used to. Dr. Watson enlists the help of the Baker Street Irregulars, a teen street gang, to solve London's worst crimes while Sherlock gets the credit. It's teen drama meets Victorian period piece, what's not to love there?

10. Stranger Things

Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection

Stranger Things is one of Netlfix's most successful and critically acclaimed series for good reason. If the 39 Emmy Award nominations aren't enough to convince you, let the best television scene of 2019 get you hooked. Best (or worst, maybe) of all, you've got lots of time to catch up because the wait for Season 4 is seemingly unending.  

11. The Crown

Sophia Mutevelian /Netflix / Courtesy: Everett Collection

Maybe you're thinking, "Why would I want to see a bunch of famous actors doing impressions of the British royals?" Well, let me tell you that this show is a lot more than that. This FICTIONAL* account of the Windsor family dynamics during Queen Elizabeth II's reign is full drama and intrigue in ways you wouldn't imagine. The performances are British excellence, and the fourth season is the best one yet.

*The show is a mix of fact and fiction based on true events, which means that some of it is true and some of it is made up. I have to make sure you know that because I do not want the British monarchy on my tail.

12. Mindhunter

Netflix / courtesy Everett Collection

Sadly, we don't know if/when a new season of MIndhunter will ever happen, since David Lynch says he's not going to continue the show for now (but might in the future). Don't let that stop you from getting into this full-out thriller about FBI analysts. For those of you who love Jonathan Groff from his role in Hamilton, the versatility he shows in his portrayal of Holden will impress you even more.

13. Kingdom

Netflix

During Korea's Joseon period, Crown Prince Lee Chang discovers a life-threatening political conspiracy against his family while investigating the spread of a mysterious plague that is turning people into zombies. It's up to him and some allies he meets along the way to stop the disease and keep his family from being overthrown. If that sounds like a show that's doing too much, don't worry. This show is the political period horror drama of your dreams.

14. I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

youtube.com

This sketch comedy show created by SNL and Detroiters alum Tim Robinson and Zach Kanis is probably the wackiest thing on Netflix. With just six episodes so far (but more on the way!), it's a great way to spend an afternoon if you want to be confused, delighted, and thoroughly tickled.

15. Who Killed Sara?

Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection

This murder mystery has the drama of a telenovela with the sleek design of your favorite Netflix crime dramas. Here's the gist: After spending 18 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, Alex Guzmán is finally a free man — and he's determined to get revenge on the wealthy Lazcano family, who he holds responsible for the death of his sister Sara. It features a ton a famous telenovela stars and has become on of the top shows on Netflix.

16. Ginny and Georgia

Netflix

Have you been missing your healthy dose of small town teen dramas like Gilmore Girls or One Tree Hill? Well, you're in luck because Ginny and Georgia has arrived to fill that void. Georgia and Ginny are a mother-daughter duo who have a relationship that's pretty reminiscent of Lorelai and Rory, but this isn't just a Gilmore Girls rip-off. This show brings some serious drama to both characters' storylines, and it's a lot more scandalous than anything you could expect to happen in Star's Hollow.

17. Firefly Lane

Netflix

TV queens Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) and Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) star as Tully and Kate, two women who've been friends for more than 30 years. The show follows them through their teen years, Tully's successful media career, and Kate's marriage and divorce, among other things. The two leadings ladies have amazing chemistry, and the show — which is based on a novel — provides a light, charming portrayal of female friendship.

18. Lupin

Netflix

This French heist/thriller/revenge/crime drama is, without exaggeration, the best way to spend an afternoon. Part 1 is five episodes, all under an hour long, and totally worth the binge. Omar Dy stars as Assane, who will steal your heart as well as anything he can get his hands on with his charm, good looks, and intelligence. It also tells an emotional story about the relationship between fathers and sons, so get ready to be simultaneously thrilled and moved.

19. Bling Empire

Netflix / courtesy Everett Collection

Bling Empire is Netflix's latest reality TV offering, and it lives up to its title. Following a group of elite (and incredibly wealthy) Asian and Asian American socialites in LA, Bling Empire is definitely for fans of Selling Sunset. It has everything you need in your escapist television: obscene wealth, interpersonal drama, and of course, a scene-stealer by the name of Anna Shay.

20. On My Block

Netflix

If there was ever a show capable of making you laugh and cry within the same scene, it's this one. On My Block is about a group of friends who try to navigate their evolving dynamic as they start high school and become more exposed to the adult world. The cast is incredibly charming, and capable of pulling off the serious and more comedic moments with ease. It's technically a teen drama, but that doesn't weaken its emotional impact at all. Best of all, the fourth (and final) season was just announced!

21. Crashing

Channel 4/Netflix

If you loved Phoebe Waller-Bridge's masterpiece Fleabag, then there's a good chance you'll also love Crashing, which was her first show. It's only six episodes (classic PWB to leave us wanting more), and they're each about half an hour long. You could easily spend an afternoon in the company of six British twenty-somethings who simply cannot figure out their romantic entanglements or living arrangements. Plus, it features Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey (AKA grumpy older brother Anthony) in a totally different role.

22. Dear White People

Netflix

Based on the critically acclaimed film, Dear White People follows a group of Black students attending a prestigious, predominantly white university. The show balances drama and comedy to tackle issues surrounding modern race relations, and it's so. Damn. Clever. There are so few shows that focus on the college experience (yes, there is life after high school!!), so we're all blessed to have Dear White People in our lives. It was just renewed for its fourth and final season as well, so you'll know exactly how much to look forward to.

23. Big Mouth

Netflix / Courtesy of Netflix

Cartoons aren't all made equal, and Big Mouth just proves how great animated series can be. Created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, Mark Levin, Jennifer Flackett, it delves into all the awkward, super weird changes everyone goes through as a teenager. This series is laugh-out-loud funny, while staying so damn accurate to real life. Big Mouth is a true gift to the world and it's an absolute privilege to watch.

24. La Casa de las Flores (The House of Flowers)

Netflix / courtesy Everett Collection

If you ever feel like you need a telenovela fix but couldn't imagine sitting through 70+ episodes, then La Casa de las Flores is for you. After her husband's mistress kills herself at his birthday party (!!!), a woman tries to maintain her family's perfect reputation despite all of their secrets becoming public knowledge. Classic telenovela stuff. Even better, the show subverts a lot of telenovela stereotypes and features quite a few LGBTQ characters.

25. Derry Girls

Aidan Monaghan/Channel Four / courtesy Everett Collection

You simply HAVE to check out Derry Girls, if for no other reason than it features Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan in a very different role from Penelope Feathrington. But other than that, the plight of these 1990s teens in Northern Ireland during the Troubles is unrelentingly hilarious and occasionally quite moving. If Schitt's Creek had a Northern Irish cousin, it would be this show.

26. The Last Dance

Netflix/ESPN

This was the last show I expected to find myself obsessing over, but here we are. The Last Dance is a docu-series about Michael Jordan's time with the Chicago Bulls, and it provides an intimate look at one of the best athletes to ever live. Watching Jordan's unrelenting competitiveness drive him to title after title after title is nothing short of thrilling.

27. Bodyguard

Netflix

This political thriller is, in my opinion, one of Netflix's most underrated gems. Richard Madden (yep, Robb Stark from Game of Thrones) gives an amazing performance as David, the titular bodyguard — so good in fact, he won a Golden Globe for it. Whether it's the massive plot twist in Episode 4, the slow-burn mystery of the season, or exploration of the main character's mental health, this show nails it all. It also has no shortage of steamy scenes, by the way, if that matters to you.

ABC / Netflix

The iconic sitcom that made Tia and Tamera Mowry household names is on Netflix, and for that, we are all grateful.

Netflix

Christian Serratos takes on the role of a lifetime playing the ever-iconic Selena Quintanilla. This series provides a closer look into Selena's life as a person, instead of a pop icon. Serratos plays Selena beautifully and it's a blessing to see this story unfold on-screen again.

37. Glow

Netflix

There's nothing quite as wonderful as watching strong-willed women fight for what they want, and Glow is the epitome of that. Starring Alison Brie, Marc Maron, and Betty Gilpin, Glow takes on the '80s world of wrestling — Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, that is. This show is so smart and funny, that you'll be invested in a matter of minutes. I won't spoil too much, but lemme just say that with a show full of drama, excitement, and acid-wash jeans, the intense wrestling is one of the best parts.

38. One Day At A Time

Netflix / Pop / CBS

One Day at a Time is truly one of the best shows on television. If the live studio audience is any indication, I promise you'll be laughing. The series follows the Alvarez family through their daily ups and downs. While this show can be both lighthearted and silly, it also has the range to tackle serious topics like mental illness, immigration, racism, and LGBTQ issues. One Day at a Time shows viewers just how important family is and makes you wish you were a part of the Alvarez family too.

39. Peaky Blinders

Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection

This period drama about English mobsters in the early 1900s is one of TV's most underrated sleeper hits. It already has five seasons, but not enough people talk about it! It's got as much drama and intrigue as Game of Thrones, and boasts just as many acclaimed British actors like Cillian Murphy, Helen McRory, and Season 5 additions Sam Claflin and Anya Taylor-Joy.

40. Imposters

Bravo

Imposters is the perfect show for anyone who feels like they've seen everything. It's about a con artist and the myriad of strangers she screwed over, as they try to catch her in the act. This show is fast-paced, addicting, and thrilling in the purest way possible. Inbar Lavi is absolutely magical and you can't help but fall in love with her too. Imposters is delightfully intriguing and impossible not to binge-watch.

Netflix

"I cannot stress enough how amazing this show is. It tells the story of a group of women who work at a telephone company in Spain during the 1920s. The show is a perfect blend of a period drama mixed with some really great telenovela storylines. Also, the cast is stunning and I’ve gone on to watch them in other projects because I love them in this show so much." —Nora Dominick

If you loved The Haunting of Hill House then you'll absolutely devour The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Don't worry if you're not super into scary things, while this season still has many spooky elements, it's much more of a dramatic love story. You will not regret watching this, I promise.

Octavia Spencer stars as Madam C.J. Walker (aka Sarah Breedlove), the first woman to become a self-made millionaire, which she did by building an empire of Black haircare products. Spencer absolutely knocks it out of the park, and Tiffany Haddish is great as Sarah's daughter, A'Lelia. If that's not enough to entice you, the period costumes are also fabulous.

53. Luke Cage

Netflix

It's not entirely clear how Luke Cage fits into the larger MCU as we know it, but it's an amazing show on its own. Luke Cage, aka Carl Lucas (played by Mike Colter), had previously appeared in Jessica Jones, but his character becomes even more interesting once he's center stage. The show explores themes like morality and masculinity and boasts a supporting cast that includes Alfre Woodard and Mahershala Ali.

I Am Not Okay With This is great at tackling the awkwardness of teen angst, sexuality, and high school while giving us an incredible superhero origin story.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I recommend this show. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a captivating story about mental health told through good comedy and catchy music. It follows Rebecca Bunch, a hot-shot NYC lawyer who follows her ex-boyfriend to West Covina in hopes of finding true happiness. Not-so-spoiler alert: It doesn't work.

Netflix

"As someone who grew up worshipping the book series, I was cautiously optimistic when this new series was announced — and then it went and exceeded my expectations in every single way possible. Somehow, it felt completely nostalgic and also extremely timely at the same time. This is the kind of show I wish I got to grow up with, and I feel so lucky to have watched it, even as a 30-year-old. It’s so wholesome and every episode feels like a warm and comforting blanket in these trying times. And the young cast is incredibly talented. Plus, Alicia Silverstone is in it.

Nickelodeon

Taking place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, this spiritual and chronological sequel follows Korra, the next Avatar in the cycle after Aang. And let me just say, this might be a sequel but it's an entirely different show. Where Aang was just beginning to accept his identity as the Avatar, Korra has been mastering 3 out of 4 elements her entire life. It's really exciting to see a new generation of Team Avatar deal with new challenges, and while this show has a somewhat darker tone than the original, they have enough in common that you're guaranteed to enjoy it.

The docuseries follows four doctors (a chief OB-GYN, an emergency physician, and two heads of neurosurgery) as they navigate the tense cases they encounter at work, while also balancing their personal lives. Due to the sensitive nature of their patients' conditions and the strong bond these doctors share, it's impossible not to get sucked into their lives.

76. Seven Seconds

Cara Howe / Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection

Regina King won an Emmy for her role in Seven Seconds, in which she played the grieving mother of Brenton Butler, a teenager who was left for dead on the side of the road. The show is a really visceral portrayal of race relations in the US, police brutality, and grief. Clare-Hope Ashitey plays K.J. Harper — the lawyer who represents the Butlers — who is great at her job but terrible at pretty much everything else.

77. I'm Sorry

TruTV

"I'm Sorry is 100% the funniest TV show on Netflix that you're not watching. It stars Andrea Savage, along with a bunch of other actors and comedians who you'll definitely recognize. This is one of those shows where nothing really happens — basically, just a lot of random experiences/hijinks as we follow Savage's character who's working as a comedy writer, married, and trying to raise her 6-year-old daughter — but you'll honestly laugh out loud during every single episode. The whole show is super casual, real, and relatable. You'll be hard-pressed to find a series that's more worthy of your time. Do yourself a favor and watch it." —Spencer Althouse

"If you would have told me before I watched this show that a cartoon, horse-headed man could take me on the emotional roller coaster of a lifetime, I would have said that you were bonkers.
