The 75 best shows on Netflix available right now
Never Have I Ever (Editor’s choice)
This funny, sharp, heartwarming coming-of-age dramedy is what we need right now. Co-created by Mindy Kaling and inspired by her own upbringing, Never Have I Ever focuses on the very charming Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), an Indian-American high school sophomore who’s trying to have a normal American teen experience.
Never Have I Ever ended its run in excellent fashion, with a heartfelt finale. We rarely see show depict the end of high school as well as NHIE just did.

Insecure
Yes, Netflix has an HBO show. It’s a weird world right now, but audiences are winning here. Issa Rae’s Insecure is both her and on Max, meaning more people that ever can meet long-time friends Issa (Issa Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji), and watch them struggle through their late 20’s.
Partially based on Rae’s previous web series Awkward Black Girl, Insecure dives into the contemporary Black experience through its creator’s sense of humor. The series begins with relationship issues, and expands out to cover a wider gamut of topics.
Cast: Issa Rae, Yvonne Orji, Jay Ellis, Lisa Joyce

Heartstopper
Heartstoppers’ Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke) are students at the fictional Truham Grammer High School in England, and the series uses them and their peers to look at real-world issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community. But, don’t expect tragedy, which often makes every queer series feel like a depressing series of gut-punches. Heartstoppers is in fact heart-warming.
Connor earns a ton of praise for his portrayal of popular rugby player Nick, who struggles with his emerging bisexuality. The always delightful Olivia Colman co-stars as his mother.

Key & Peele
As much as we love I Think You Should Leave, it’s hard to argue with Key & Peele as the best sketch comedy series of the last decades. The series allowed modern horror auteur Jordan Peele and collaborator Keegan-Michael Key to break out as comedy geniuses. Not only do the two show the humor in the world through their bi-racial vantage points, but their takes on awkward masculinity are second to none.
Cast: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key

Black Mirror
Black Mirror plays with all of our worst fears about technology and privacy. While its first episode, the sexually explicit “The National Anthem” pushed at social networks, later episodes — such as “Fifty Million Merits” and “White Christmas” — rip apart future advances in in-app purchases, reality TV and privacy filters. Its movie Bandersnatch is one of the best Netflix movies, but Black Mirror season 6 is decidedly uneven, as a move away from techy twists didn’t lead to much returns.
Cast: Bryce Dallas Howard, Alice Eve, Michael Kelly

The Witcher
Henry Cavill stars as Geralt of Rivia: a roving monster hunter in a dark fantasy world. While Geralt wants nothing more than to ply his trade, he runs afoul of prejudiced townsfolk, ambitious wizards and even foreign royalty. And while The Witcher season 2 arguably suffers from a slightly padded middle section of episodes (aka The Netflix Problem), we loved it anyways. Our The Witcher season 3 part 2 review hits on what works (the core four) and what doesn’t (most of everything else).
In season 4, though, Cavill will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. But don’t expect season 3 to even hint at that change.
Cast: Henry Cavill, Joey Batey, Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra

I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson
Netflix’s best comedy series just got better as I Think You Should Leave season 3 returned with another series of ultimately quotable sketches. That said, some of the funniest moments this season are all about co-creator Tim Robinson’s physical performances. Simply failing to use VR properly in the second episode of the season led to some of the funniest expressions of the whole series (one of the best Netflix comedies).
And while each season isn’t that long, it’s ultimately rewatchable. I’ve often pondered if I should cancel Netflix for a specific month, but I Think You Should Leave is the first show that’s made me realize I actually need Netflix. That’s how often I rewatch it. – Henry T. Casey

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
While fans love Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte in the original Bridgerton, India Amarteifio owns the younger version of her royal highness in this prequel series. In our Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story review, we applaud the series for giving Amarteifio a fantastic cast of co-stars to work with and excellent production design and costumes. It’s got all the romance, steaminess and politicking you expect from a Bridgerton spoinoff.

Better Call Saul
With Better Call Saul season six’s recent arrival, one of the best shows on Netflix (heck, one of the best shows of the last decade) is finally complete. Originally airing last year on AMC — where cord-cutters couldn’t get it — Better Call Saul is one of Tom’s Guide’s favorite shows in recent memory. So, if you’ve never started Better Call Saul, now’s the perfect time.
This Breaking Bad prequel/spinoff focuses on slick, shady lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), but it begins back when he’s small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill — who doesn’t work with or for the drug cartels yet. While the series takes its moments showing moments “after” Breaking Bad, it’s all about the moments that send McGill into the wrong side of the law.
While co-star Rhea Seehorn, who plays Jimmy’s friend and colleague Kim Wexler, wasn’t one of the original main cast members, her performance became central to the series.
Cast: Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Michael McKean, Jonathan Banks

BEEF
Rage is best served in a binge-watch of Netflix’s BEEF, a dark comedy about that space inside of helplessness where anger blossoms. This A24 series stars Steven Yeun as Danny, a contractor who just so happened to be on the wrong side of a moment of frustration with houseplant business owner Amy (Ali Wong). And while their anger is seemingly infinite, it’s also somehow hilarious.
Beef takes on every single fad in sight, from crypto trading to the weird things rich people pay for. All while Amy’s incredibly eager to sell her business and Danny’s financials are in dire condition.
We love BEEF not just for these outrageous performances, but for the bizarre moments that Lee Sung Jin finds as he explores mental health, class differences and the Asian American experience. And, somehow, BEEF found a way to make guns funny. – Henry T. Casey
Cast: Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, Joseph Lee, David Choe, Young Mazino, Ashley Park, David Choe, Patty Yasutake, Maria Bello

Cunk on Earth
Cunk on Earth is a send-up of every single pretentious anthropology documentary series that featured a host who took themselves far too seriously. It gains its title from host Philomena Cunk (played by Diane Morgan), a slightly dimwitted presenter who goes around interviewing experts and testing their levels of politeness who’s a little dimwitted. Or maybe she really loves to make to her interviewees confused.
The product of the minds of Morgan and writer Charlie Brooker (Black Mirror), Cunk On Earth is ripe for comparisons to the works of Sasha Baron Cohen. That said, we see the character of Ms. Cunk as a more lovable scamp. Because while Morgan also has excellent comedic timing, Cunk spares its audience from gross-out physical comedy.

Maid
If you haven’t seen Maid, but can enjoy TV when it’s rivetingly tense, you need to open your eyes to one of the best shows on Netflix. Alex (Margaret Qualley, in the performance of a lifetime), is trying to escape an emotionally abusive relationship with her husband Sean (Nick Robinson), and take her young daughter (Rylea Neveah Whittet) with her.
And she does so in the middle of the night, in the first of many chaotic moments. Trying to make it on her own, Alex struggles to find work, and has to settle for being a maid. Her mother Paula (Andie MacDowell, Qualley’s real-life mother) doesn’t help at all, as she’s the most unstable person in this story, and often takes Sean’s side.
Maid swings back and forth between heartwarming energy and bleak moments that will make it difficult to binge. That said, I somehow actually watched it all in a weekend, and came out the other side amazed. I’m hoping we get more like this from Netflix some day. – Henry T. Casey

Formula 1: Drive to Survive
The wild world of Formula 1 racing may often take place at hours that makes it inaccessible to those in America, and that’s where the Drive to Survive show comes in. One of the best Netflix shows out there, this gripping documentary series brings you up close and personal with the best drivers in the world, including its biggest star, Lewis Hamilton. The third series showed how Covid-19 flipped F1 racing on its head, as Hamilton ascended to the top of the board.
As we prepare for the 2023 F1 live streams, we watch the recently-aired fifth season to see most of the drama from the 2022 season. From Daniel Ricciardo’s spiraling season to the chaos of Silverstone, this season is filled with tons for the drivers and their team principals to talk to Netflix about. The only downside about this new season — as our Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 5 review explained — is that it omits the Brazilian Grand Prix. And that means no insight into why Max Verstappen declined his team’s orders to let fellow Red Bull racer Sergio Perez pass him.

Red Rose
What if Black Mirror, but more horrifying and focused on a whole group of teens? That’s what you get with Red Rose, a BBC series that recently jumped over to Netflix. It focuses its lens in Bolton, a town in the North West of England, where an app begins to manipulate a group of teens by way of threats. Part social commentary on the ways we’re addicted to our phones, and part excellent teen horror, Red Rose is the best Netflix show to watch now before everyone is already talking about it.

You
It’s time to meet You, your next guilty pleasure binge watch. A thrilling drama, You is the talk of social media these days thanks to how much the show plays with our own addictions to Instagram and other apps. It focuses on a bookstore manager named Joe, who falls in love with/stalks the heck out of Beck (Elizabeth Lail), a grad student. One of the best shows on Netflix, and one with a strong following, You season 4 is currently on break, as Part 1 arrived on February 10, 2023, and You season 4 part 2 arrives on March 10, 2023.

Lockwood & Co.
Netflix’s latest YA success story adapts the popular Jonathan Stroud books The Screaming Staircase and The Whispering Skull. Here, a trio of ghost hunting teens are disrupting London’s booming supernatural business. Anthony Lockwood (Chapman), and George Karim (Hadji-Heshmati) are the grizzled young veterans of the art, and they’re joined by Lucy Carlyle (Stokes), who has supernatural powers. Lockwood & Co. thrives as one of the best shows on Netflix because of its character development for its main trio, while this version of London looks and feels truly alive.

Wednesday
Yes, you may get extreme “The CW” vibes from this Addams Family show from Tim Burton, and that may not be what you want if the original Addams Family movies are parts of your childhood you wanted to go unsullied. That said? Jenna Ortega puts in a fantastic performance as high school-era Wednesday Addams, who’s been kicked out of the Nancy Reagan High School for protecting her brother by way of sending flesh-eating fish at his bullies. Now, at Nevermore Academy, she’s among other students who aren’t “normies” — while she deals with her nascent abilities. Oh, and you’ve got Luis Guzmán as Gomez, in and admittedly minor role. And, now, Wednesday season 2, is official. We didn’t have any doubts, though.

Dead to Me

Ginny and Georgia
Young parents often lead to dramatic lives, and such is the case with Georgia Miller, who’s ended her years of a nomadic lifestyle only to find more chaos. Her daughter, 15-year-old Ginny, can’t escape her mother’s past either. A second season of this popular series — often ranked in the top shows on Netflix — is inevitable, as it ended on a cliffhanger built for more stories.

Crime Scene closed out 2022 with its third season, “The Texas Killing Fields.” It tracks a series of cold cases that spanned decades and shared a patch of land consisting of a field and highway. Previously, Crime Scene delivered in the most on-the-nose way, delivering a second season, “The Times Square Killer”, just days before people celebrated the start of 2022 from the tourist attraction (and around the world).

Old Enough!
Old Enough! is a show that shouldn’t work, but is a triumph of low-stakes reality TV. In it, 2-4 year old children are given errands and accomplishable missions from their parents, while narrators provide play-by-play commentary. The kids range from easily-distracted types or mischievous ones who don’t really care about their goals. A big hit in Japanese TV from the last decades, Old Enough! is one of the best shows on Netflix because it’s a true gem for unwinding. It’s unique shows like Old Enough! that make Netflix one of the best streaming services, even while HBO Max has the top spot.

Archive 81
Earlier this year, we lauded Archive 81 as the one new show you had to watch on Netflix. And so it’s no surprise that it’s now landed a slot as one of the best shows on Netflix. Archive 81 provides a fresh mix of character-driven drama and jump-scare horror — two things that shouldn’t go together at all. It even manages to make a use of found-footage work, even though that should be played out by now. Unfortunately, it joined the ranks of Netflix’s canceled shows, as it was killed it off before we could get a second season. If you’re upset about Archive 81’s cancelation, maybe give Netflix a piece of your mind and call Netflix customer service.

Resident Evil (2022)
Divisive out the gate — you’d expect for a video adaptation that pivots to the Young Adult sector — Netflix’s Resident Evil is still a fantastic series. It tells its story in two halves: first, with young Jade and Billie Wesker accompanying their father Albert to New Raccoon City, where he’s to work for the rebuilding Umbrella Corporation. They’ve got a new drug to market to teens, called Joy. Unfortunately, the T-Virus is still in the picture, and everything goes haywire once the girls go on an ill-advised trip to dad’s office after hours. Resident Evil also tells its story years into the future, where Jade is surviving a world that’s far more dangerous than the one we saw her younger self in.
Resident Evil will not have a second season, as Netflix canceled it on August 26, 2022.

Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)
If you’re looking for an intense and action-packed crime series, check out the greatest heists this side of Danny Ocean. The beautifully-shot series tracks the crews led by The Professor, who aims to take rob the Royal Mint of Spain and the Bank of Spain. This Spanish-language show zigs and zags all over the place, with flash-backs and time jumps to keep you on your toes. You even have to be concerned with the ol’ “unreliable narrator” conceit, which adds even more intrigue. The series just ended, so you can binge it all now!

Dark
At its end, Netflix’s Dark — a puzzling drama that rewards close watching — is now complete and a highly recommendable series to watch. It focuses on a story of two children that go missing in a small German town known as Winden. Dark is commended for how it built up momentum — instead of watching it dissolve like some show that started off hot and ended poorly (Hi, LOST).

The Umbrella Academy
At the end of The Umbrella Academy season 2’s first weekend on Netflix, I saw the same request up and down my timeline: “ok, where is season 3?” And it’s not hard to see why. A massive success for Netflix, The Umbrella Academy found riveting TV by adapting the comic books of the same name, where the seven adopted Hargreeves siblings are trying to survive their own catastrophic powers. Season 2 send the kids back to the 1960’s to prevent further calamity. Season 3 just dropped, with a new twist on the apocalypse!

The Baby-Sitters Club
This long-awaited series adaptation of the much loved YA book series is sweet, positive, heartwarming — without being cloying or mushy. It takes the familiar story of a group of young teens who start a babysitting service and adds modern elements like social media and smartphones. But the essential themes remain the same: friendship, compassion, loyalty, forgiveness and understanding. Sadly, Netflix canceled The Baby-Sitters Club, so we won’t get season 3.

Ozark
For us, at first, Ozark suffered from what I like to call “Didn’t we just watch this?” Syndrome. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney star as “Marty” and Wendy Byrde, who get into the dark, seedy underworld to make ends meet. While early reviews were mixed, season 3 gives a giant stage for Laura Linney to thrive on screen. One of the biggest shows ending in 2022, Ozark is without a doubt one of the best shows on Netflix.

Riverdale
Somehow, Riverdale defied expectations of audiences with reboot fatigue, and became a cult sensation during its first season.

Russian Doll
The first thing you should know is that Russian Doll is the funny and emotional the series that Natasha Lyonne (its star, co-creator, writer, and director) has long since deserved, as she’s spent most of her career as a co-star and not a lead. Its twisting, tricky premise is so good that we won’t say anything else. Russian Doll’s originality makes it one of the best shows to watch on Netflix. And after a mind-bending second season, we’re eagerly awaiting news about Russian Doll season 3.

Frustratingly, Mindhunter has apparently been put on an indefinite hiatus, so we don’t know if or when season 3 will happen.

How to access blocked shows on Netflix
Wherever you are in the world, Netflix offers a huge range of top-quality shows like the ones we’ve listed above. However, due to something called geo-blocking, you may find that your favorite binge-watch isn’t available. This is especially noticeable if you’ve traveled abroad – a series you had your eye on back at home may well now not be available.
The easiest way around this is to use a Netflix VPN. By using a VPN to change your virtual location, you can trick Netflix into showing you that country’s catalog of shows. Perfect if you’re in need of a quick fix to fill your vacation downtime, or even if you fancy globetrotting from the comfort of your sofa.
