98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Steven Yeun and Ali Wong star in this darkly comedic limited series about a road rage incident that escalates into an obsessive mutual vendetta. A profound exploration of Asian American identity and suppressed rage that won multiple Emmy Awards.

96% on Rotten Tomatoes. The most-watched Netflix series ever made. Korean creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's brutal allegory of capitalist desperation — where 456 debt-ridden people compete in children's games with deadly consequences — became a genuine global cultural phenomenon.

94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney deliver career-best performances as a married couple laundering money for a Mexican drug cartel in the Missouri Ozarks. Tense, morally complex, and compulsively watchable across all four seasons.

93% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Duffer Brothers' 80s-soaked supernatural phenomenon became Netflix's most-watched series of all time. A perfectly calibrated nostalgia machine that introduced the world to Millie Bobby Brown and revived Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill."

97% for Season 3. Keri Russell stars as a newly appointed US Ambassador to the UK navigating diplomatic crises while her marriage implodes. A sophisticated political thriller that became Netflix's most-watched English-language drama debut of its year.
