Last updated Nov. 19; newer additions are at the top

Hellbound

For fans of: Incorrectly calling something the next Squid Game, religious chaos
Number of seasons: 1

Yeon Sang-ho is building a name for himself as a creative force out of Korea, following his zombie films Train to Busan and its wacky sequel Peninsula. He directs his first television series with Hellbound, an adaptation of his webtoon Hell, which wades in the murky waters of religion and faith as creatures appear on Earth to drag people to hell after a prophecy from an angel. But Hellbound approaches the subject of sin and paying for those sins through several characters, such as a police detective and a cult leader. The special effects may be a little iffy, but the brutality and philosophy are real.[Trailer]

Cowboy Bebop

For fans of: Gutsy adaptations, corgis, Westerns but in space
Number of seasons: 1

I get that fans of the sci-fi anime that Netflix's live-action adaptation is based on are overly protective of the original, but it's really not nearly as bad as they say. In the space Western, John Cho and Mustafa Shakir play a pair of bounty hunters who bust all sorts of wanted space criminals while dealing with their own problems, be it pining after a long-lost love or trying to acquire a hard-to-get toy for a daughter. It's stacked with humor, style, violence, and, according to its detractors, total and complete disrespect for the original.[Trailer]

Arcane

For fans of: League of Legends (or not, it doesn't matter!), dope animation
Number of seasons: 1

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.[Trailer]

Narcos: Mexico

For fans of: Crime dramas, cartel violence, drugs
Number of seasons: 3

The third and final season of the spin-off that we didn't know we needed continues on without its big bad Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) after his arrest in the Season 2 finale, but that just means there's more chaos to be had in the ruckus to become the new Mexican drug kingpin. Expect lots of violence, obviously.[Trailer]

Big Mouth

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).[Trailer]

Mythomaniac

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.[Trailer]

Colin in Black & White

For fans of: Social justice, doing the right thing, youth sports
Number of seasons: 1

Colin Kaepernick, Colin in Black and White — Colin Kaepernick, *Colin in Black & White*
Netflix

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. Bonus: His parents are played by Mary-Louise Parker and Nick Offerman, and young Colin is played by the very charming Jaden Michael.[Trailer]

Maya and the Three

For fans of: Cool Mesoamerican art style, Raya and the Last Dragon, dazzling visuals
Number of seasons: 1

Maya and the Three -- from The Book of Life creator Jorge R. 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 15-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. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Locke & Key

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. After a first season that played it a little too safe,Locke & Key is letting loose in Season 2, which picks up with the Lockes finally enjoying themselves in Keyhouse now that they think they've banished Dodge through the Black Door. 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? -Kelly Connolly[Trailer]

Sex, Love & goop

For fans of: Getting your weekly goop emails, talking about S-E-X
Number of seasons: 1

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.[Trailer]

Cowboy Bebop

For fans of: Jazzzzz, space cowboys, watching something before the remake
Number of seasons: 1

With Netflix's anticipated Cowboy Bebop live-action series starring John Cho coming out soon (Nov. 19), the streamer did the right thing and ponied up the cash for the streaming rights to 1998 original anime, widely considered to be one of the best the genre has to offer. 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. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

You

For fans of: Creepy dudes, voiceover, problem after problem
Number of seasons: 3

Victoria Pedretti and Penn Badgley, You — Victoria Pedretti and Penn Badgley, *You*
John P. Fleenor/Netflix

Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgely) is back -- or was he always right behind you this whole time? -- for the third season of Netflix's creepy stalker drama, except this time he may not be the one to go to extreme lengths to get what he wants. Now in California and married (!!) to Love (Victoria Pedretti), Joe is raising his son in a chill suburb and everything is going great. 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?[Trailer]

The Baby-Sitters Club

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. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Seinfeld

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.[Trailer]

On My Block

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. In its last batch of episodes, the teen comedy-drama explains how Monse (Sierra Capri), Jamal (Brett Gray), Cesar (Diego Tinco), Ruby (Jason Genao), and Jasmine (Jessica Marie Garcia) fell out and exactly what went down in the two-year time jump revealed at the end of Season 3. 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. -Megan Vick[ Trailer ]

Oats Studios, Vol. 1

For fans of: Apocalyptic hellscapes, Adult Swim parodies, short attention spans, Black Mirror, District 9
Number of seasons: 1

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 2017, 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. –Tim Surette [ Trailer ]

Maid

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. –Tim Surette[ Trailer ]

The Chestnut Man

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 2007 series The Killing, which was adapted for American audiences in 2011. The Killing's creator Søren Sveistrup returns with a new creepy six-episode series about a serial killer who might have ties to the disappearance of a politician's daughter and likes to decorate his gruesome crime scenes with little men made out of chestnuts. Demented AND crafty? We're intrigued. –Tim Surette[ Trailer ]

Midnight Mass

For fans of: Stephen King, The Haunting of Hill House, cerebral horror
Number of seasons: 1

AfterThe 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. Telling you any more would be a disservice to the storytelling. –Tim Surette[ Trailer |Review ]

Squid Game

For fans of: Twisted tales of cruelty, extremely violent kids' games
Number of seasons: 1

Who remembers playing childhood games for fun on the playground? Who remembers playing them FOR YOUR LIFE? The unexpected hit Korean dramaSquid Game is more the latter, as a group of people in bad need of money are taken in by a secret organization that has them play games -- like Red Light, Green Light -- for money. The catch? They lose, they die. Violently. What separates this from something like Saw is the humanity given to the characters. You'll care about some of these people... and then they will die. –Tim Surette[ Trailer |More shows like Squid Game ]

Dear White People

For fans of: Kids discovering themselves, Gillian Anderson
Number of seasons: 4

Dear White People is back for one last semester, and although the wait has been excruciatingly long, it's going out with a bang. The final season is 100 times more musical, with the students of Winchester deciding to put on a variety show that celebrates Black culture. There are performances of songs we already like, like Montell Jordan's '90s classic "This Is How We Do It," and big showy dance numbers, and also the inevitable moments where all the characters have to reckon with the fact that they're about to be thrust into the world of adulthood.[ Trailer ]

Sex Education

For fans of: Kids discovering themselves, Gillian Anderson
Number of seasons: 3

There are so many coming-of-age television series out there, but few are as brazenly honest and endearing as this one.The comedy, now in its third season, is a raunchy-on-the-outside and sweet-on-the-inside charmer about a teen boy who inadvertently becomes his school's go-to sex therapist. The series explores teen sexuality in a refreshingly non-judgemental, authentic way, and it posits that whether you're the most popular kid in school or the outcast eating lunch alone, there's a universal and terrifying confusion in growing up that can be made more manageable by a supportive community and communication. Plus, Gillian Anderson co-stars as Otis' eccentric divorcée mom, who is an actual sex therapist and has a house full of phallic statues, which is just a lot of fun. [ Trailer ]

Lucifer

For fans of: The devil, hell puns
Number of seasons: 6

Procedural fans know that anyone can become an unlikely police consultant, including, in this case, the literal devil. Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), who's abandoned hell to become a nightclub owner in Los Angeles, partners up with L.A.P.D. detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) to solve crime -- stranger things have happened, maybe? -- while sorting out his otherworldly daddy issues. On top of being a fun show with a steamy will they/won't they couple,Lucifer is also a clever spin on redemption stories. -Kelly Connolly[Trailer]

Money Heist

For fans of: Snappy shows that were meant for bingeing, twisty action, finding out who lives and who dies

Netflix recently announced that 97 percent of its American subscribers have watched an international (non-English language) series on its service, and I'm willing to bet 97 percent of those people were watching Money Heist, Álex Pina's Spanish bank heist series. Pina's preference for style and mystery over everything else is all over Money Heist, making it highly bingeable and perfect for the Netflix formula. Action! Drama! Skin! More action! This is the first half of the final part; the last episodes launch in December. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes

For fans of: Santa Clarita Diet, loud food eating, Norwegian dark humor and dark drama

This Norwegian series couldn't decide if it wanted to be a comedy or a drama, so it chose to be both, and it does a damn fine job at it. It follows a woman not-so-curiously named Live (Kathrine Thorburg Johansen) who is murdered in a field but wakes up during her autopsy wondering what all the fuss is. In her second shot at life, she develops unusual traits, some good, like enhanced hearing, and some bad, like a, uhhhh, thirst for blood. Yeah, it's a bit like Santa Clarita Diet, but not about zombies and without the corniness. Busy people rejoice: Season 1 is only six episodes long. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

The Chair

For fans of: Sandra Oh, the pains of academia
Number of seasons: 1

Sandra Oh is starring in another TV show, which means everything is once again right with the world. Oh plays Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, the newest (and first woman) Chair of the embattled English department at a swanky university. She navigates both professional and personal struggles, and crushes on a professor played by Jay Duplass, which is very relatable.

Bridgerton

For fans of: Romance, string covers of pop songs
Number of seasons: 1 (renewed for Season 2, date TBD)

The first fruit of Shonda Rhimes' massive Netflix development deal follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) through her first season out in 1800s London society and her rollercoaster journey of falling in love with a reluctant duke (Rege-Jean Page), and it introduces us to the rest of the Bridgerton siblings and their immediate social circle as the elusive Lady Whistledown mysteriously catalogs all of the their gossip for her anonymous column. It'sPride and Prejudice meetsGossip GirlandScandal in the most delicious way possible. Heads up: Though the art for the series may make it look like a demure relaxing binge, Shonda and company stay true to the spirit of the source material, and things getvery steamy as you get further into the season. -Megan Vick[Trailer]

Never Have I Ever

For fans of: Teen romance, Mindy Kaling, the omniscient voice of John McEnroe
Number of seasons: 2 (renewed for Season 3, date TBD)

Mindy Kaling's warm, wickedly funny spin on a classic high school comedy stars newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar, a high achiever desperate to reinvent herself after the sudden death of her father (Sendhil Ramamurthy, joining the ranks of TV's hot dads even in flashbacks). As she navigates a love triangle and denies the depth of her grief, short-tempered Devi's inner life is narrated, hilariously, by tennis legend John McEnroe.Never Have I Ever is Kaling's best show yet, a charming Indian-American coming-of-age story that's both personal and absurd. Who knew we all needed to hear John McEnroe say "thirst trap"? -Kelly Connolly[Trailer]

Lupin

For fans of: Committing crimes with style, heists
Number of seasons: 1 (divided into two parts, with a third on the way)

Omar Sy stars as Assane Diop, a man who is essentially a French Bruce Wayne if Batman was more of a cat burglar than dark knight. Inspired by the classic French character Arsène Lupin, known as the "gentleman burglar," Diop starts the series off trying to steal a valuable necklace from the Louvre with a grand heist as part of a revenge plot against the wealthy family responsible for the death of his father several years prior. Sy is a charming dude, and the heists and trickery are fun, complicated acts, performed under the guise of being the good guy. It may not be the greatest show Netflix ever put out, but it is a very entertaining distraction that's easy to get through.-Tim Surette[Trailer]

Naomi Osaka

For fans of: The true lives of professional athletes, mental health awareness
Number of seasons: 1

Professional tennis player Naomi Osaka, like most athletes who have achieved the highest levels of their sport, projects an air of confidence. Filmed partly by Osaka, an advocate for mental health who has withdrawn from major events to raise support for the way athletes are treated by the media, the docuseries shows that those thrust into fame aren't always ready for it. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Virgin River

For fans of: Hallmarkian romance, heartwarming tearjerkers
Number of seasons: 3

Do you like it your TV to feel like one long Hallmark movie? If that's the case, you should know that few other shows are currently doing that better thanVirgin River. In this adaptation of the novels by Robyn Carr, Alexandra Breckenridge stars as Mel, a nurse practitioner from Los Angeles who, after having her heart broken one too many times, starts a new life in a remote Northern California town. As these things go, she quickly meets Jack (Martin Henderson), a bartender who makes her want to love again. This show really has everything: long lost twin brothers, bombshell pregnancies, and main characters getting shot by mysterious gunmen.[Trailer]

Grace and Frankie

For fans of: Classic sitcom feels, female friendships, odd couples
Number of seasons: 7

One of Netflix's longest-running original series (and soon to be its longest-running American series once its final season concludes),Grace and Frankie follows the two titular women, played by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, as they embark on new lives when their husbands come out as gay and partner up together. There's anOdd Couple vibe as Grace (Fonda) is a no-nonsense cosmetics mogul and Frankie (Tomlin) is a hippie artist, which only cements their friendship beyond the sitcom-setup bond. Netflix surprise released the first four episodes of the final season as a treat for fans, with the remaining 12 coming in 2022. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Sweet Tooth

For fans of: Animal-human politics, the end of the world
Number of seasons: 1 (renewed for Season 2)

Set in the aftermath of a catastrophic global virus, the comic book adaptationSweet Tooth is a show for our times. The series follows a "very special boy" named Gus (Christian Convery), a human-deer hybrid on a journey across the American West, accompanied by an unexpected group of friends. It's just the right blend of strange, dark, and hopeful, with a resonance no one involved in the show originally could have planned. -Kelly Connolly[Trailer]

Atypical

For fans of: Laughing and crying (sometimes at the same time), penguins
Number of seasons: 4

Atypical is not your typical coming-of-age story. The family drama focuses on Sam (a wonderful Keir Gilchrist), a young man on the autism spectrum dealing with the drama of high school and college, and his family and friends, who are perpetually supporting him through the challenges of growing up even as his unique viewpoint and understanding of the world occasionally frustrate them. It's incredibly heartwarming as we watch Sam become a more independent person, but it gives Sam's friends and family equally enjoyable storylines.-Tim Surette[Trailer]

Elite

For fans of: Melodrama, melodrama, melodrama
Number of seasons: 4

Elite, the Spanish-language series about three working-class friends who enroll in a luxe private school, is the ideal mix of unhinged camp and actual high-stakes drama. The show centers around the inevitable culture clash between the new kids and their exorbitantly wealthy classmates, but there's also a murder mystery woven throughout the plot. A lot of teen shows these take themselves incredibly seriously, and whileElitedeals with its share of socially relevant topics like homophobia and religion, it leans hard into its chaotic roots, and that makes it all the more watchable.[Trailer]

High on the Hog: How African American Culture Transformed America

For fans of: Getting a history lesson while your stomach growls
Number of seasons: 1 (four hour-long episodes)

Netflix has a large catalog of food shows, but none quite likeHigh on the Hog. Hosted by Stephen Satterfield, the four-part docuseries is about Satterfield's journey to learn about the storied history of African American cuisine. He learns about the contributions Black people have made to food, and how much of an influence food from the past has on the food we eat now, including the origins of okra, dishes created by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington's enslaved chefs, and how mac and cheese came to be. The show is infectiously joyful, and has a lovely "discover your roots" spirit. Fair warning, though: You're going to bestarving after each episode.[Trailer]

Beastars

For fans of: Addictive but uncomfortable anthropomorphic sexualized drama, philosophical discussions of one's true nature
Number of seasons: 2

Even in a genre that is well known for pushing the limits of sanity, the anime Beastars is pretty damned weird. Set at a high school for anthropomorphized animals, Beastars follows a wolf whose predatory nature surfaces when he falls for an adorable young rabbit. But Beastars is adept at capturing the confusing feelings of puberty and the complicated dynamics of the teen social scene by mixing them with murder, instinct, and sexual desire through the eyes of animals. Does he want to eat the rabbit or just make out with her? Sometimes the line isn't as clear as you'd think in this YA (young animal) whodunnit. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Black Summer

For fans of: Intense no-cut actions sequences, life and death situations
Number of seasons: 2

Not all zombie shows are built the same, and this spiritual spin-off of the goofy Z Nation focuses on the gritty life-or-death situation of a small group of people trying to survive a zombie apocalypse. It's intentionally minimal on plot (and at times dialogue), letting the action -- frequently told in long takes with no cuts and some athletic cameramen -- tell the story. For my money, it's the best zombie show on TV. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Breaking Bad

For fans of: Great TV, great acting, great cinematography, great writing, great everything
Number of seasons: 5

Well, it's perhaps the greatest television show ever made, so yeah, you should watch it. Bryan Cranston stars as antihero Walter White, a mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher who begins cooking meth to pay for his cancer treatments and finds that he really, really likes it. It won 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, including two for Best Drama Series in 2013 and 2014. Some will say the first season is only OK, but those people are morons. While you're at it, watch the spin-off, Better Call Saul, which is also on Netflix. –Tim Surette[Trailer]

Alone

For fans of:Survivor, but scarier
Number of seasons: Season 7 available on Netflix

History's survival competitionAlone is unlike pretty much anything else on TV. The show invites tough people from all around the globe to be dropped in the middle of the wilderness with one rule: don't die! They're armed with limited resources and a camera to document their experience, and whoever succeeds the longest without getting choppered out of the woods wins half a million dollars. It's a pretty brutal watch, but thrilling and impressive if you're curious just how much humans are able to survive if they're resourceful. And even better to know you literally will never have to do this yourself! (Note: Only Season 7 is available on Netflix, but History has made a total of eight seasons of this baby so far.)[Trailer]

Ozark

For fans of: The color blue, Jason Bateman
Number of seasons: 3 (renewed for Season 4, date TBD)

This hit thriller stars Jason Bateman and Laura Linney as Marty and Wendy Byrde, a married couple who move their family from Chicago to the Lake of the Ozarks region of Missouri after Marty's job laundering drug cartel money goes south. Because this is a drama series, that obviously isn't the end of it, and the Byrdes become involved with local criminals. The show is kind of ridiculous, but it's elevated by great direction and great performances, particularly from Julia Garner (who has won two Emmys for her work on the show) as Ruth, a member of a local crime family who ends up forming an interesting relationship with Marty.[Trailer]

Shadow and Bone

For fans of:Game of Thrones by way of Freeform
Number of seasons: 1 (renewed for a second season, date TBD)

Based on Leigh Bardugo's dueling Grishaverse novel series,Shadow and Bone andSix of Crows, the big-budget series follows a young woman who discovers she's in possession of a power that can save the kingdom, natch. The tone is somewhere betweenGame of Thrones and something you'd find on Freeform, with a dark color scheme and violence mixing it up with love triangles. Fair warning: the world-building of the first two episodes can get a little tedious, but it gets better after that. -Tim Surette[Trailer]

Pose

For fans of: Unbridled joy, queer history
Number of seasons: 3

How wrong we were to believe we'd seen a full, three-dimensional representation of the LGBTQ community on TV beforePose arrived in 2018. The FX series, set decades ago in the New York City ballroom community, has served to show us how much we don't know and haven't seen. In this heartwarming and often hilarious drama, the trans women who started the ballroom scene -- the scene that's made black/Latinx gay lingo like "slay," "read," and "spill the tea" mainstream -- get their due, making them the subject of the story instead of the afterthoughts. Through characters Blanca (Mj Rodriguez), Elektra (Dominique Jackson), Angel (Indya Moore), and Pray Tell (Billy Porter), we befriend queer people of color who've banded together for survival, for love, and the pursuit of happiness. It's radical for humanizing trans people and portraying their unique experiences with compassion, but it shouldn't be: It's fundamentally an engrossing, uplifting show stuffed with drama and heart. Consider it essential viewing. –Malcolm Venable[Trailer]

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

For fans of: Chaos, having good car ideas, wet steaks, weak coffins, fart toilets, complex patterns on shirts
Number of seasons: 2

Tim Robinson, I Think You Should Leave — Tim Robinson, *I Think You Should Leave*
Netflix

Sometimes what you want is to see your id, your most base animal instincts, the unhinged thoughts you definitely have but rarely voice, reflected on screen. You may or may not remember Tim Robinson from his time onSaturday Night Live; honestly, they didn't really know what to do with him over there, and in retrospect it's clear that what he needed was something of his own where he could really let his freak flag fly. That'sI Think You Should Leave in a nutshell! It's a madcap rollercoaster of a sketch series that features Robinson playing a host of weirdo characters with big personalities and strong convictions about things that don't really matter, such as his highly memeable hot dog mascot who refuses to admit he was the one who crashed his car into a storefront. Like anything that's really, truly hilarious, it's sort of impossible to describe. You just have to watch it to understand.[Trailer]

Kim's Convenience

For fans of: Feel-good family sitcoms
Number of seasons: 5

Following a Korean-Canadian family who own and operate a convenience store,Kim's Convenience is a true screwball comedy that is as great as it is not only because of its takes on immigrant family life but also thanks to the bonds between its characters. The show understands how complicated parent-children relationships can be, even (or especially) when you love each other, which is what makes Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee), the traditional and stubborn patriarch, slowly begin to mend his relationship with his estranged son Jung (Simu Liu), or Janet (Andrea Bang) trying to pave her own way as a young, independent woman without upsetting her mother (Jean Yung) so lovely to watch. It's the kind of show that feels like a hug.[Trailer]

***Last Chance U&Last Chance U: Basketball***

For fans of: Inspiring sports stories
Number of seasons: 5 seasons of Last Chance U and 1 season ofLast Chance U: Basketball

One of TV's best sports docuseries, every season ofLast Chance U follows a different junior college football program across the U.S. It focuses on the students -- many of whom are highly touted as players, but deal with challenges on and off the field -- as they attempt to keep up their performance both on the team and in the classroom in order to remain eligible. The show gives unique access to the host of issues student athletes face, and goes deep into the ambition many of the players have to move into Division 1 football programs. Its spinoff, Last Chance U: Basketball, is just as good, with its first season spotlighting the East Los Angeles College Huskies as they try to turn their fortunes around with a roster made up of kids who failed to live up to expectations at higher division programs because of various factors. The sport is different, but the emotional impact remains the same as their coach pushes them to be the best players and people they can be. [Trailer]

Master of None

For fans of: When comedians enter their serious auteur era
Number of seasons: 3

When Master of None first premiered in 2015, the series became a reset for co-creator and star Aziz Ansari's career, who up until that point had mostly been known for his role as the guy onParks and Recreationwho gave us "treat yo' self." Ansari played Dev, a New York actor struggling with the personal and the professional, and the show was pretty universally acclaimed, especially in its triumphant second season, which brought black-and-white cinematography, references to French New Wave, and a beautiful, Golden Globe-winning episode about Dev's friend Denise's (Lena Waithe) coming out. It was in between Season 2 and its surprise Season 3 that sexual misconduct allegations against Ansari were made public, and when the show eventually did return after a long hiatus, it shifted the focus from Dev to Denise, exploring her relationship with her wife Alicia (Naomi Ackie). The good news is that it stayed fascinating throughout, wrestling with the characters' flaws and exploring regret and loss in an entirely human way.[Trailer]

30 Rock

For fans of: The comedy stylings of Tina Fey, werewolf bar mitzvahs
Number of seasons: 7

What can be said about 30 Rock, Tina Fey's classic sitcom inspired by her time at Saturday Night Live, that hasn't already been said? Set behind-the-scenes at a fictional NBC sketch show called TGS, the series revolves around perpetually overworked Liz Lemon (Fey), her network executive boss Jack (Alec Baldwin), her eccentric stars, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) and Tracy (Tracy Morgan), and the cast of bizarre characters they work with. Apart from being one of the funniest shows ever made, which it is, 30 Rock is also in the unique position of still being relevant years after it aired its series finale, largely in part to how many cultural oddities it somehow managed to joke about before they actual happened. It is, as they say, the blueprint. [ Trailer ]

Outlander

For fans of: Sex, time travel, history
Number of seasons: 4

Depending on who you ask,Outlander is either the sexiest show on TV, or it's a historical drama with a touch of sci-fi. Or maybe it's both! Based on the book series by Diana Gabaldon,Outlander revolves around Claire (Caitriona Balfe), a married World War II nurse who, during a trip with her husband (Tobias Menzies), mysteriously time travels back to 1743. Thrown into the past and desperate to get home, Claire finds herself embroiled in a Scottish uprising while slowly but surely falling in love with a young warrior named Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). If you're looking for something that will give you an occasionally accurate history lesson and get you invested in a sweeping romance that spans centuries,Outlander is the show for you.[Trailer]
