To say series is, for many viewers, to say Netflix because this type of content is in the DNA of the platform. Now, many years after it was put into operation in 1997, they are not the only ones, and they have surely been surpassed by other platforms that take more care of quality instead of giving themselves over to quantity, which does not mean that we can find authentic jewels that are usually get lost in the immensity of that ocean that we have within reach of a click on the screen of our computer, television, mobile or tablet.
The best we can find on Netflix
The fact is that if we close our eyes and recite the titles of ten series that we have available on Netflix, we will get a few combinations without problems, although another thing is that we get to hit if they are the best valued of the entire platform. To find out which ten essential titles we have not gone to ask any film critic, but the millions who pass through the pages of IMDb every day, the industry database that contains any information you need about series, movies, documentaries or whatever.
Thanks to a rating system for that content, it’s easy to find the best Netflix has to offer and order it. So we have done that, although along the way we have found that viral and mass phenomena such as La Casa de Papel or El Juego del Calamar are not even among those ten names that you have below. Surprise or maybe you expected it?
Be that as it may, below we leave you that list of productions that have their names written in gold letters. And they are these:
stranger things
What to comment about what has become the flagship fiction of the platform and that mixes science-fiction with horror in a purely eighties format in the style of the best Goonies. With the fourth season at the gates, everything indicates that it will continue to be one of the main assets to keep us subscribed to Netflix for a long time. Especially with the one that is falling to the platform in recent times.
Dark
Netflix’s most recognized German series is a hymn to the best science fiction we’ve seen in recent years, with plots that are absolutely amazing and that take us through time travel and other supernatural incidents that deserve to be seen. It is not surprising that it is among the Top 10 of the best rated on the entire platform. You have three colossal seasons available.
Kingdom
With only two seasons, Kingdom is one of the most beloved series for its extraordinary staging but, above all, for the solid story it tells us. As the official synopsis says, “strange rumors of a sick king take over a kingdom while a mysterious plague begins to spread.” It will be the crown prince who has to face that threat to save all those who live on the lands of his family.
mindhunter
Series with agents investigating murders and other crimes are always the focus of great stories and plots, and Mindhunters is no exception. Throughout the two seasons that are available we will meet a couple of members of the FBI who find a new technique that allows them to go after criminals with overwhelming success rates. A very original approach that you should not miss.
this is how they see us
Interesting series that will mark you despite the fact that it only has a single season with four chapters in which it tells us about the heartbreaking cracks that the US judicial system presents when it comes to applying the laws to certain people of different races and social conditions. New York and a case in Central Park will be the axis of a drama that cannot leave you indifferent.
heart stopper
Released in April 2022, this series has swept views on Netflix and received the best ratings from critics. So much so that in record time IMDB users have recognized it as one of the best fictions on the platform. In it we will see Charlie and Nick, inseparable friends who, in full youth, will discover that the same between them there is something deeper and lasting.
The assistant
With only one season behind her, La Asistenta is an endearing surprise that introduces us to Alex, a single mother who cleans houses with the intention of being able to pay all her expenses and support her young daughter, while trying to forget your past and a toxic relationship. Precisely, that link between her and Maddy and the problems that she lives day by day, will be a reason to reflect on life, family and society.
sex education
Sex Education is one of the Netflix phenomena of recent years, it has three seasons and takes us through the lives of some young people who awaken to love and… to sex. Fresh, fun and with certain dramatic touches where it touches, it is one of the most valued by the subscribers of the platform.
The Curse of Hill House
Extraordinary horror fiction developed by Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin Entertainment, for Netflix, and which begins a compendium of stories that belong to the anthology of The Haunting . In the summer of 1992, Hugh and Olivia Crain, along with their five children, move into Hill House to try to renovate it, sell it and build their own home designed by the mother. The problem will come when these jobs have to be extended and they discover that unexpected paranormal phenomena take place inside that mansion.
queen’s gambit
Is there something to be said about this series that made playing chess games fashionable again? Queen’s Gambit is the story of an orphan chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, who strives to become the best player in the world, which will lead her to face off not only against her greatest opponents, but above all against herself.
