When this show first came out, it brought out a lot of nostalgia especially for the older population of the audience. According to older people that I’ve talked to the show actually captures the color and mystique of that time. Coupled with the sci-fi and fantasy aspect of the show and sprinkling it with amazing performances from a well-balanced cast, there is no question why the show has become a huge hit for Netflix.

Peaky Blinders

This award-winning epic crime-drama based on 1920s England about a mob family after the first World War as they attempt to expand their criminal empire while keeping a stranglehold on Birmingham.

The End of the F***ing World

The show follows two teenagers, one a rebellious teenage girl and a boy who thinks that he’s a psychopath and their story as they run away together attempting to leave behind a rough life.

Atypical

A heartfelt slice-of-life drama about a special needs teen boy who has autism and his family and how they go about their lives.

Doctor Who

Probably one of the best, if not the best (and the longest) television shows in the world. Doctor Who follows The Doctor, a time-traveling alien who goes on exciting, fun, and sometimes heart-breaking adventures with his human companions.

Mindhunter

A slow-paced serial killer suspense drama that follows two FBI agents, the calm and collected Holden Ford, and the rough and temperamental Bill Tench as they travel across the United States talking to America’s most prolific killers.

Sherlock

The show that brought Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman into fame. This is a phenomenal modern-day take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic masterpiece. In this incarnation, Sherlock is a highly-functioning sociopath who aids Scotland Yard with John Watson, a military doctor who serves not only as Sherlock’s moral compass but as his closest friend. Oh and if you haven’t watched this yet? Close this article now and watch it. Andrew Scott is also obscenely phenomenal as James Moriarty, giving one of the most exquisite performances for a television villain ever.
