Olivia dies that night, her death ruled a suicide, and the tabloids run wild with stories of the haunted Hill House. The five Crain children — Steven, Shirley, Theo, Nell, and Luke — all grow up dealing with their trauma in varying ways, whether writing a successful memoir about the haunting of Hill House Steven or abusing drugs to numb the pain Luke.

As adults, the Crain siblings are barely on speaking terms, until a tragedy forces them all back together, and back to Hill House.

Stranger Things Genre Drama, Fantasy, Horror. Created by Matt Duffer, Ross Duffer. From Alien to E. A mysterious creature and a secret government agency, a group of kids having adventures around their rural town, teens experimenting with sex, drugs, and peer pressure. There are pieces of Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, and John Hughes strewn throughout Stranger Things, and the result is a show that will feel immediately familiar to people who grew up with that source material.

The show is not shallow in its emulation, either. The acting and direction are superb, giving even the most derivative scenes some heft. Disenchantment Genre Animation, Action, Adventure.

Or more recommendations of what to watch next? We have a ton of them! We also have hand-picked selections based on shows you already love. For fans of: League of Legends or not, it doesn't matter! The popular PC video game League of Legends has officially crossed mediums. Arcane adds life to two the game's playable characters, Jinx voiced by Ella Purnell and Vi voiced by Hailee Steinfeld , by digging into their backstories as petty thieves in the underworld city of Zaun and the tech-heavy city above it, Piltover.

Arcane could have taken the easy route and thrown out a cookie-cutter TV adaptation with empty characters and showy action sequences, but instead it has crafted a show with great characters, a deep story, and beautiful motion-capture animation that pops off the screen.

You don't need to know a thing about League of Legends or be a fan of anime to enjoy this. For fans of: Crime dramas, cartel violence, drugs Number of seasons: 3. Expect lots of violence, obviously. For fans of: Vile, disgusting things like puberty and horny teenagers Number of seasons: 5. Netflix's raunchy 'toon about extremely horny kids wrestling with pubescent urges is not for the prim-and-proper set, and, despite being animated, it certainly isn't for anyone who can't vote yet.

This show is gross as all heck, and that's what makes it great. Nick Kroll and John Mulaney voice a couple of best friends who get ants in their pants in middle school, and in Season 5, their desires are manifested as lovebugs and hate worms to really drive home the emotional roller coasters of middle-school crushes. It's going to be disgusting and underneath it all maybe a little sweet.

For fans of: Suburban dysfunction, lies, Shameless Number of seasons: 2. Mythomaniac , a family drama from France, starts off like a reverse Breaking Bad when an overlooked mother lies about having cancer to get more attention. As she boxes herself into a corner and her lies quickly become unraveled, she's forced to reassess her life in Season 2 and win her family back. This is by no means a perfect drama but the complicated messes it creates kept me coming back for more, and the family's problems rival those of any the worst TV clans for some juicy entertainment and melodrama.

Yet there's a sweetness that comes out of it all, as the family is just as drawn to each other as they are repelled. And at six episodes per season, it's an easy binge. For fans of: Social justice, doing the right thing, youth sports Number of seasons: 1.

Colin Kaepernick went from being known as a fleet-footed NFL quarterback to an activist with just one move: kneeling for the National Anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. In this six-episode limited series, Kaepernick and director Ava DuVernay give Kaepernick a space to tell his story, which he does through monologues, reenactments, and a comedy-drama about his childhood as a Black kid with dreams of being a quarterback who was adopted into a white family.

It's a bizarre mix that admittedly takes a bit to get used to, but it's all tied together through Kaepernick's bold truths and sincerity. Gutierrez -- may just be the coolest looking thing on Netflix. The kids nine-episode miniseries celebrates pre-colonial Mexican culture with panache, dressing its characters in ceremonial headdresses, warpaint, and detailed costumes that pop off the screen as the magical characters scale enormous Aztec-influenced edifices and soar over the picturesque beauty of Central America.

There's a story, too: A year-old warrior princess named Maya voiced by Zoe Saldana goes on a quest to stop the gods of the underworld from destroying humanity, and while that sounds serious, Maya and the Three is packed with humor for all ages. This isn't just one of Netflix's best kids shows, it's one of Netflix's best shows, period. For fans of: Keys, teens, supernatural occurrences Number of seasons: 2. The TV drama with the highest concentration of keys per minute is back and key-ier than ever.

They haven't. Dodge, now in the form of Gabe Griffin Gluck , is right under their noses. What will Kinsey Emilia Jones do when she finds out she's dating a demon? Gwyneth Paltrow 's latest Netflix project is a reality series about couples -- mostly ones who have been together for years and have recently hit a wall -- learning to have more fulfilling sex lives, with a distinctly goop-y twist: Each couple is paired with a different sex expert, who gently walks the couples through their intimacy issues and teaches them that all of those issues are, in fact, treatable.

Some of the couples love each other but are, to borrow language from the show, "sexually mismatched," while others have been on the verge of breaking up. The discoveries they make are centered around sex, but all come back to the basic foundation of any relationship: how to communicate with each other, and how to prioritize a partner's needs without sacrificing your own. It's not saccharine or overly woo-woo in its approach, and it leans into the inherent awkwardness of talking so openly about sex on camera.

Even if you hate everything Paltrow and her lifestyle brand stand for, she doesn't so much as host as she does lead discussions with the couples, which she's actually pretty great at.

Don't knock this show before you try it. For fans of: Jazzzzz, space cowboys, watching something before the remake Number of seasons: 1. Set in the future when mankind has colonized various planets and space rocks, it follows a team of space bounty hunters on adventures, most notably the rivalry between lead character Spike and the criminal Vicious.

A mish-mash of genres, Cowboy Bebop is a space western filled with comedy, action, and colorful characters. And it has a great soundtrack. For fans of: Creepy dudes, voiceover, problem after problem Number of seasons: 3.

Joe Goldberg Penn Badgely is back -- or was he always right behind you this whole time? Now in California and married!! OK, not really, because Joe's gotta Joe and he develops an unhealthy obsession with his new neighbor. But will Love let him do his thing? For fans of: Warmth and wholesomeness, tween girl drama Number of seasons: 2. There's a tween girl inside all of us who just wants to watch a charming show about young girls trying to start a baby-sitting business.

Embrace your inner Emily or Jayden or Madison and watch The Baby-Sitters Club , a true safe space in a world that wants to keep you down. Season 2 adds a few more members to the club, but the care to flesh out all its characters is still there.

For fans of: Laughing, understanding cultural references, being denied soup Number of seasons: 9. Netflix is so excited to have Seinfeld on its platform, and it's never going to let us forget it. Fine by me, I'm also excited! It's one of the best sitcoms of all time!

What is there to say about this show that hasn't already been said a million times, a million ways? I don't know, I'm too busy watching Elaine dance again.

For fans of: Coming-of-age stories with a real perspective, having great taste Number of seasons: 4. On My Block is back for its fourth and final season. It's senior year, so the teens are faced with decisions about college and what a post-Freeridge life will look like for each of them as they try to outrun the sins of their past and just have a good time at prom. It's as funny and emotional as ever. Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp's vision for an apocalyptic future has been well established in movies like Chappie and District 9 , and he takes that look and feel in this compilation of short films from his production company Oats Studios.

The collection, from , has what you'd expect — an alien invasion that's taken over the world, trouble on a lone mining spaceship — and what you wouldn't — an informercial parody for a very dangerous kitchen appliance — creating a grab bag of science-fiction shorts that span various moods.

It's the perfect thing to flip on when you don't know what you want to watch. For fans of: The struggle, female empowerment, making bad decisions and then good decisions, the Pacific Northwest Number of seasons: 1. You won't often end an episode of Maid -- adapted from Stephanie Land's memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive -- feeling overjoyed with the world, because the miniseries isn't afraid to focus on the difficulties single mothers escaping abusive relationships face.

But stick around and you'll be inspired by the perseverance of Alex Margaret Qualley in a star-making performance as she becomes a housecleaner in Washington to make ends barely meet.

Even though it's a little longer than it needs to be, you won't complain as long as Qualley is on the screen. For fans of: Slow-burn murder mysteries, The Killing , nuts galore Number of seasons: 1.

The Danes are well known for their moody murder mysteries, most notably the series The Killing , which was adapted for American audiences in Demented AND crafty? We're intrigued. After The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor , creator Mike Flanagan is sticking with what he does best with another winning horror miniseries, only this time he's passing on the haunted house and going for a whole haunted island. The seven-episode series takes place in a fishing community 30 miles off the mainland and puts religion in the spotlight when a charismatic new priest Hamish Linklater arrives on the island with promises to lead his growing flock to salvation.

As you can guess, it doesn't quite work out that way. With its all-star cast, beautifully unique visuals from French studio Fortiche Productions, and a tale that's built on explosive action and heart breaking narratives, Arcane isn't just a show that services LoL fans. No matter if you're a diehard fan or a relative newcomer to the franchise, Arcane will wow you in equal measure. And, with only Act 1 released so far Acts 2 and 3 arrive on November 12 and 19 respectively , there'll be more to enjoy in the very near future.

You has returned for a third pandemic-delayed season — this time casting Penn Badgley's obsessive Joe Goldberg as a father, as he settles down with dangerous partner Love Victoria Pedretti in the suburbs. Things don't stay normal for long, of course, but we'll let you discover that for yourself.

Just know that this knotty, twist-heavy and sometimes outrageous show is perfect if you're in the right frame of mind for it. Somehow, too, despite focusing on a character that's so toxic on paper, it manages to keep you engaged with every beat — no wonder Netflix has renewed it for a fourth season.

The legendary sitcom is now available exclusively on Netflix. Seinfeld is a show about friends Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer, and the various preposterous social situations and awkward encounters that make up their lives. Famously known as a sitcom about nothing, it goes against the feel-good underpinning of its '90s contemporaries and insists its characters never learn any lessons. That means it's still wickedly funny, all these years later.

The first two seasons of Seinfeld are a bumpy ride, but from season 4 onwards there's never a bad episode. Check out our best Seinfeld episodes for recommendations on our favorites. The only disappointment about streaming the show on Netflix is the fact it streams solely in widescreen — but for most people that won't make a big difference.

This South Korean drama comes from the mind of director Hwang Dong-hyuk, and follows a group of indebted citizens invited to risk their lives in a mysterious survival game. Given the excited furore that has erupted around the show, though, you probably knew that already. It definitely leans on tropes first established by Battle Royale which itself inspired The Hunger Games series , but this show is nonetheless an original and exhilarating way to while away your evenings.

The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan returns with a new show, this time about a young man Zach Gilford who returns to his secluded island home of Crockett to serve a parole sentence. At the same time, a new priest Hamish Linklater arrives just as miraculous events start occurring across the island — leading the whole community to embrace religion in an unprecedented fashion. Something dark, however, lurks beneath the surface of this place.

There's a touch of Wicker Man-esque folk horror to this series, which honestly takes a little too long to start getting scary three episodes, in fact , but it's well worth binging this 7 episode miniseries.

Even though some of its discussions around religion are entirely played out, the characterization here is sharp — and Linklater absolutely steals scenes as a new community leader who you don't feel like you can trust. Starring Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield alongside a slew of previously unknown actors, this British comedy is a treat. He teams up with Maeve Emma Mackey to open their own in-school sex education clinic, and help fellow students out with their various issues.

It's a very empathetic and heartwarming show that expertly explores topical issues around sexual identity and gender, and it's really funny to boot. With season 3 now out on Netflix, too, there's no better time to jump in and catch up on this particular show. Season 4 is now confirmed. This mystery drama about a passenger plane that lands years after it took off has proved such a hit on Netflix US that it's saved the show from cancelation — giving it a fourth and final season of 20 episodes.

The puzzle box nature of the show means it's a good fit for streaming, and unlike Netflix's own originals, this one clocks in at a lean and snackable 40 minutes per episode. This dense ensemble drama might sound a little Lost-y, but it goes in some pretty different directions by comparison. You've probably seen it haunting the Netflix charts for months now, but this isn't a bad time to get involved, with more episodes on the way.

If you're looking for a weird, wild and definite acquired taste on Netflix right now, no one can argue that new miniseries Brand New Cherry is not that. This '90s-set show is about Lisa Nova Rosa Salazar , an aspiring filmmaker who comes to LA with the intention of making a movie, and pitches to a producer — but it doesn't pan out the way she wants it to. We'll leave it there for plot specifics, but you will not guess what happens next.

This horror-infused thriller show is clearly just meant to be experienced — stylistically, there's a lot to appreciate, and it might remind you of the works of David Lynch of Nicolas Winding Refn The Neon Demon, in particular. Like we say, this is definitely not for everyone, but by episode 2 you'll know if its Catherine Keener and Manny Jacinto are among those in the supporting cast.

This was an unexpected treat. All seven seasons of 30 Rock are now available to stream on Netflix US — which is a nice way to fill The Office-shaped hole in your life. If that sounds a bit Inside Baseball because it's about the making of a TV show, know that it's broadly enjoyable and genuinely hilarious — it helps that different characters in the show bring their own comedic energy. Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy, for example, is a preposterous network exec with clever, smart line delivery, while low-ranking NBC page Kenneth Jack McBrayer opens it up to more slapstick and silly humor.

After a heck of a long wait, offbeat but beloved sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave returns for another season on Netflix. It won't take you long to binge both seasons — each episode is only 15 minutes long. The basic setup of a lot of its sketches is the same: someone performs a faux pas, then takes that awkward moment to such extremes that it escalates in its strangeness.

It's definitely an acquired taste, but then so many of the best things are. Episode titles like 'They have a cake shop there Susan where the cakes just look stunning' and 'I need a wet paper towel' only underline the strangeness.

Omar Sy plays Assane Diop, the son of a Senegalese immigrant who was wrongly imprisoned for theft, at the behest of his powerful employer. Decades after his father commits suicide, Assane plots revenge on the employer's family, using 'gentleman thief' skills inspired by the Lupin character. The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier is behind this watchable series — with only five episodes available right now, it won't take you long to get through it.

Netflix's latest comic book adaptation couldn't have less to do with superheroes. This post-apocalyptic fantasy series is about a half-human, half-deer boy who travels across the ruined world with a hardened protector — searching for a new life amid the ruins of America. If you're in the mood for something that just about counts as warm family viewing but has an edge, don't miss Sweet Tooth. If you enjoy it, check out Jeff Lemire's wonderful comics that the show is based on afterwards.

Sweet Tooth season 2 is officially on the way. Adult CG animated anthology Love, Death and Robots just returned for its second, shorter season of episodes. Like all anthologies, the quality varies between episodes, but taken as a larger work, this show has a lot to give. The ideas vary wildly between comedy and drama, with a dark touch at the heart of the series — what happens if a home-cleaning unit starts trying to kill its owner? What happens if a yoghurt tries to secure world domination?
