Black Rabbit, the tense thriller series starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman, continues to prove popular with viewers, as they get drawn into its high octane tale of two brothers trying to escape dangerous consequences for their actions in New York.
Addams Family spin-off and fantasy hit Wednesday also continues to be popular as we head into spooky season, while more chills can be found in series such as long-running dystopian anthology Black Mirror.

Black Rabbit
The series has proved a big hit with Netflix viewers, thanks in large part to three elements. Firstly, you've got a real, authentic sense of place, as the show delves into the the real underbelly of New York, as well as the nightlife scene.
Third, and perhaps most crucially, you've got the tension. This series may be something of a slow-burn to start with, but once the tension starts ratcheting up it doesn't stop, as the net closes in on Jake and Vince and the stakes only get higher and higher.
There are some issues with pacing, sure, and it may not be the most innovative series out there. However, there's something refreshing about a limited series which is really designed to be just that, meaning you know that as you had towards the climax, there is nothing off the table. - James Hibbs
House of Guinness
The series introduces us to the Guinness family – owners of the world-famous Irish brewery – at a crucial time for their business, after patriarch Benjamin has passed away, leaving a controversial will that stokes tension between his children.
Happy Valley's James Norton is a standout among the starry supporting cast as brewery foreman Sean Rafferty, but performances are stellar across the board, along with production value and stylistic flair, which layers contemporary elements (such as modern music) over the period setting to striking effect.
If you were enraptured by the likes of Peaky Blinders, A Thousand Blows or SAS Rogue Heroes, this lates offering from Knight certainly stands shoulder-to-shoulder with those that came before. – David Craig
Long Story Short
The series centres on the Schwooper family, and tells the story of the different family members over a number of decades, jumping back and forth to different tales and different times.
At its heart, the series is also an exploration of Jewish identity and the different ways the members of the family interpret their faith and their heritage. It also tackles the Covid pandemic better than almost any other media we've seen thus far, reflecting deeply and sensitively on a difficult time that so many films and series seem desperate to gloss over and forget.
It has already been renewed for a second season, meaning viewers should have no fear that they'll be left hanging after these 10 episodes. - James Hibbs
The Killing Kind
Emma Appleton leads the cast as barrister Ingrid Lewis, who makes the mistake of getting a little too close to her client, John Webster (Colin Morgan), after she successfully secures him a 'not guilty' verdict.
Zara Hayes and Jonathan AH Stewart adapt the story from a novel by Jane Casey, peppering each episode with enough twists and reveals to send you straight onto the next.
Nevertheless, if you're looking for an intriguing and easily digestible thriller, The Killing Kind fits that bill quite nicely. – David Craig
Wednesday
Thankfully, Netflix brought in the king of gothic whimsy, Tim Burton, to lead coming-of-age horror-comedy Wednesday. Gen Z scream queen Jenna Ortega was an inspired choice to play the titular deadpan teenager, who is sent to the Nevermore Academy after unleashing a pack of piranhas on bullies targeting Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez).
At times, Wednesday certainly leans too far into the teen drama genre that's been desecrated by the likes of Riverdale, but the show's aesthetic, overall tone and Ortega's excellent performance are Burtonesque enough to make this an eye-catching and entertaining watch. Season 2 has just landed in full, so now is the perfect time to get caught up! This time around, Wednesday is back at Nevermore and as she's trying to build her psychic abilities more, she has a new tormenter to battle, too, plus Pugsley's enrolling at school. Oh, and Lady Gaga has a starring role in the latest season, so it's unmissable.
Fisk
Fisk begins by introducing us to the title character – lawyer Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan) – at a low point in her life, having suffered consecutive life and career knocks in the form of a divorce and the loss of her high-flying job in Sydney. She moves back to her hometown of Melbourne for a new start, taking a downgraded position at a small local firm specialising in wills and probate.
Fisk star and co-creator Flanagan is integral to the show's success, crafting a charmingly grounded and straight-talking lead character, whose acerbic wit provides a refreshing dose of sanity in a surreal world. But the more outlandish performances of co-stars Aaron Chen and Julia Zemiro, among others, also provide their fair share of standout moments, with strong chemistry shared across the group.
Between Fisk and Colin From Accounts, it's clear that Australia's comedic muscle is not to be underestimated – but its broadcasters should perhaps stick to originals instead of rehashing older formats. Fisk seasons 1-3 are streaming now. – David Craig
Hostage
At the same time, the French President – played here by the Before trilogy's Julie Delpy – begins to receive threatening emails and the two world leaders are faced with a very difficult choice as they must work together to get to the bottom of the threat, risking their lives and political futures in the process.
Hostage might not be the most original thriller in the book, but the fast pace and myriad cliffhangers should be enough to make it a propulsive and addictive watch for most viewers – and the central performances from Jones and Delpy have received a lot of praise. – Patrick Cremona
Finding Alice
This drama series originally aired on ITV1, but has now found its way to Netflix, where an even larger audience is discovering its offbeat mystery. The story kicks off when Alice finds her loving husband at the bottom of a hazardous flight of stairs in the eerily modern home that he designed.
Instead, when it becomes apparent that her late husband had secrets, she moves heaven and earth to uncover them – facing her grief and an uncertain future along the way. Wednesday and Amandaland star Joanna Lumley also stars in Finding Alice, which would be a fine choice for a one-weekend binge. – David Craig
Untamed
The story follows federal agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) as he investigates the murder of a woman, whose body is found one day in Yosemite National Park. While the narrative is stretched conventionally over six intriguing episodes, Untamed's fittingly no-holds-barred approach adds an unpredictable element that helps it carve out a niche in this admittedly crowded genre.
Jurassic Park's Sam Neill, Daredevil: Born Again's Wilson Bethel, The Boys star Rosemarie DeWitt and La Brea's Lily Santiago round out the supporting cast of Untamed, but Bana carries the piece, proving he still has that leading man charisma after decades working in the business.
Too Much
Too Much's early episodes get some good material out of the culture clash between the Anglophile and her British beau, who introduces her to the mundanities of UK life beyond the classic literature, period dramas and detective shows she's consumed. Elsewhere, though, Dunham takes the humour to broader and more outlandish places, usually fuelled by Stalter's character, who yells and rambles her way through a fire-related accident, social media hysteria and an unwisely high dose of ketamine.
In a possible nod to the title, Jess and her colleagues in London's marketing elite can be too much to handle at times, veering far away from charmingly eccentric to become overtly annoying. Overall, though, there is enough fun, romance and soul searching to keep us on the side of the central couple, although Too Much's lighter, more schmaltzy touch may take Girls fans by surprise. – David Craig
Squid Game
While it may sound like a piece of cake, with a cash prize that's so staggeringly high, the games are far from easy – and lead to any losers being brutally murdered in their hundreds.
It's easy to see why the series has continued to prove popular: Squid Game is simply great television that is well acted, tightly written, sharply directed and acts as a critique of the predatory competition a capitalist society inspires.
But even those not looking for a social commentary will find something to enjoy, with plenty of white-knuckle survival sequences – made all the more effective because the compelling, character-driven nature of the series means we actually care about the contestants involved. - Daniel Furn/Morgan Cormack
Back
This absolutely makes sense and is well-deserved, but fans of their comedy stylings certainly shouldn't overlook Back, the Channel 4 comedy which ran for two seasons between 2017 and 2021.
It's got a deliciously dark edge to it which won't be for all audiences, but the characters are well-drawn, the comedy supremely funny and the tone quite unlike anything else on TV. It was tragically cancelled on a major cliffhanger, but still works well as a two-season bite of brilliance. - James Hibbs
Ginny and Georgia
Led once more by Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howey, the duo continue to grip viewers as Ginny finds herself stuck in limbo between wanting to live life as a normal teenager while being caught up in her mother's drama. And drama is putting it lightly.
While there's a lot of heart between the dysfunctional Miller family, there is a whole lot of pain within the household and for those affected by their actions on the outside. From angsty teen drama and romance to a mother who'll do anything to protect her kids, it's no shock that Ginny and Georgia season 3 has risen up on Netflix's top 10. - Katelyn Mensah
Dept. Q
Matthew Goode (A Discovery of Witches, Watchmen) leads the cast as Carl Morck, a PTSD-stricken sleuth whose first case with his new team involves the ominous disappearance of a barrister. With an experienced supporting cast including Line of Duty's Kelly Macdonald, Guilt's Mark Bonnar and Bridget Jones star Shirley Henderson, there are plenty of striking characters to get acquainted with as the investigation unravels across nine episodes.
Arguably, co-creators Scott Frank and Chandni Lakhani stretch this first case out a little longer than it needs to be, with writing that isn't quite as punchy as their Gary Oldman-led rival series. Nevertheless, this is above-average crime drama that fans of the genre should gel with. – David Craig
Sirens
The complicated sister dynamic at the centre of things keeps you hooked and only grows more fraught through the episodes, with older sister Devon confused at why Simone has found solace in the arms of a billionaire's wife. A maternal figure? A sought-after best friend? It's hard to put a label on Simone and Michaela's dynamic but ultimately, Simone's troubled past has only continued to plague her in adulthood.
Will it be the most memorable series you've watched all year? Likely not, but if you're looking for something fun, a little silly and charmingly funny to see you through the weekend, Sirens is an easy pick. – Morgan Cormack
Forever
Following Keisha and Justin, they cross paths after spending preschool together and embark on a whirlwind of first love. Joys and heartaches flutter about in equal supply here, with Forever also digging into the complications of being a teenager just trying to figure life out. – Morgan Cormack
The Four Seasons
This comedy-drama from Tina Fey remakes a 1981 romcom of the same name, both of which explore the lives of three couples who have been friends for many years and regularly take holidays together.
Fey has said that she wanted The Four Seasons to be a comforting watch, and she has thoroughly succeeded in that regard. The characters are endearing, their struggles are relatable and the core ethos drops the cynicism of The White Lotus. Instead, it favours an optimistic view that meaningful bonds can endure and contentment can be found in unexpected places – even if it's not quite what you once imagined.
Fey, Carell and Kenney are joined by Will Forte, Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani for the charming excursion. – David Craig
You
Over the course of 10 episodes, we stared in horror as his lust turned into toxic desire. At times, the Netflix series makes you laugh, but as the tone shifts in the story, so too does a viewer’s unease; this is quite simply not the kind of series you want to watch in the dark before bed.
Now, Joe's back in New York for You's fifth and final season, where the past continues to haunt him but his life seems better than ever. With a new love interest in Bronte (Madeline Brewer) and his old murderous tendencies never too far from his decision-making, how will things end for the protagonist once and for all? - Helen Daly/Morgan Cormack
Black Mirror
Six new stories, an impeccable cast and even the show's first ever sequel, the Charlie Brooker series is most certainly back with a bang. Boasting the likes of Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Paul Giamatti and Peter Capaldi (to name just a few), this season is rooted in the emotional side of things.
As our season 7 review states: "A testament to everyone involved, season 7 is home to instant classics aplenty that you'll want to devour in no time at all and will stand the test of time, standing tall against many of Black Mirror's episodic greats from seasons past."
You'll be left laughing, shedding a tear or two or simply, may just want to stare at a blank wall for a bit but so is the effect of near-flawless storytelling in this Black Mirror instalment. One not to be missed. – Morgan Cormack
Years and Years
The show has a stand-out cast featuring the likes of Rory Kinnear, Russell Tovey, T'Nia Miller and Jessica Hynes, while Emma Thompson is excellent as populist politician Vivienne Rook, who is seen growing in stature and popularity as time passes, going from a fringe figure firmly into mainstream.
This is powerful drama, in a series which was under-watched when it first arrived, but can hopefully now find a whole new viewership on Netflix. - James Hibbs
Adolescence
The episodes follow the aftermath of a boy being accused of murdering his female schoolmate, with Graham playing the boy's father, alongside Ashley Walters as the detective investigating the case and Erin Doherty as the boy's clinical psychologist.
It may be uncomfortable viewing, but Thorne, Graham and Barantini have provided us with one of the finest shows of the year thus far. - James Hibbs
Toxic Town
The four-part limited series brings attention to the Corby toxic waste case, in which several mothers in a Midlands town sought answers after their babies were born with physical deformities. They identified a connection between the birth defects and toxicity from hazardous waste that had been carelessly ferried through the town during the regeneration of a disused steelworks.
Thorne's writing is also deserving of praise, distilling a long story into four concise chapters, all the while giving us a compelling portrait of the families most adversely impacted (and their inspiring tenacity in the face of tough odds). It's not an easy watch, but it's an important one. – David Craig
The Capture
The series centres around Holliday Grainger's Rachel Carey, a detective inspector who investigates a complex conspiracy surrounding the use of deepfake technology to manipulate the truth. While the first season focuses on the case of a soldier accused of murder, the second surrounds a politician who finds his own views being warped by a digital doppelgänger.
The show has been strangely edited into eight episodes for Netflix, rather than the six it was initially broadcast in, but don't worry - it's still an incredible ride throughout, tapping into some very contemporary concerns and doing so in a way which never speaks down to its audience. - James Hibbs
Apple Cider Vinegar
Back in the early-to-mid 2010s – an era that feels more distant from today than a mere decade can explain – Belle was making a name for herself on a then-fledgling social media platform called Instagram. There, she captivated an audience of hundreds of thousands with her remarkable story of fighting brain cancer through diet and wellness, inspiring other sufferers of the illness to consider alternative forms of treatment.
Crucial to that success is star Kaitlyn Dever, who has the unenviable challenge of playing Belle; an individual who could politely be described as incomprehensible. On the famously impolite internet, she has been labelled with far less flattering adjectives.
It's largely left up to viewers to make their mind up on whether that might be greed, loneliness, naivety, narcissism, childhood trauma, mental illness, all of the above or another factor entirely – it's unlikely we'll ever know for certain. - David Craig
Mo
It may not sound like a premise that lends itself to laughter, but Mo delivers no shortage of memorable gags, while never sugar-coating the unmooring and dehumanising experience that countless asylum seekers are forced to endure.
Easy watching, this is not, but Amer and co-creator Ramy Youssef (of Poor Things and Ramy fame) should be lauded for not swerving tough topics, while still seizing the laugh-out-loud moments where they can find them. If you're looking for a comedy-drama with real bite, you've just found it.
The second, and final, season launched in January 2025, making now the perfect time to get caught up. – David Craig
Black Doves
From screenwriter Joe Barton – who is known for Giri/Haji, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself and The Lazarus Project – it's safe to say that the writing and tension of this is well-executed, although unevenly paced at times. But for a binge watch that's set to keep you guessing, it sure is the ideal kind of series to get stuck into for these longer evenings. – Morgan Cormack
The Diplomat
The series follows Kate Wyler – the newly appointed US ambassador to the UK – as she adjusts to her new life in London, while handling the pressures that her job regularly throws at her. From responding to international crises to forging essential political alliances, she'll have a lot on her plate as a sinister threat from within the British government begins to take root.
Academy Award winner Allison Janney joins that ensemble in season 2, which dropped in October, playing the vice president of the United States Grace Penn, who will be causing some major headaches for Kate in the latest run. And good news: a third season is already confirmed! – David Craig
Heartstopper
That being said, the newly released third season does delve into some darker material, as our characters face troubled home lives and mental health concerns among other obstacles.
With a brisk 25-minute runtime per episode, this is a series you can easily binge-watch – and if you're a hopeless romantic, then you most likely will. Heartstopper boasts a cast comprised largely of newcomers (along with one A-list cameo), but expect to see plenty more from them in the years to come. In fact, trans actress Yasmin Finney – who plays arty schoolgirl Elle – has already gone on to star in Doctor Who, while co-lead Joe Locke can currently be seen in Marvel's Agatha All Along. – David Craig
Nobody Wants This
While the show may not lean as hard on its central premise as some viewers might expect, the relationships are delightful to follow, with warm, engaging performances from Bell and Brody, who have a winning chemistry together.
Justine Lupe and Timothy Simons make for a terrific supporting duo, and the show is consistently funny. It may not be the most original of set ups or formulas, but fans of romcoms are likely to be delighted that they seem to be going through a bit of a renaissance on TV right now. – James Hibbs
Brassic
The story follows Vinnie O'Neill (Gilgun), whose small-time criminal antics lead to big-time trouble as he tries to scrape by in the declining town of Hawley. The show is full of wacky moments and larger-than-life characters, but also touches on serious themes, including Vinnie's struggle with bipolar disorder and the broader impact of social deprivation.
Gilgun has been nominated at the BAFTA TV Awards every year since 2021, but is yet to bag a prize for his performance. Fortunately, with a seventh final season currently airing, he will hopefully have more opportunities to do so. You can catch the first five chapters on Netflix, where the show has found a number of new fans. - David Craig
BoJack Horseman
Across six wonderful seasons, this zany show about an alcoholic humanoid horse did something very few can manage: it perfectly blended laugh out loud comedy with dark, thought-provoking subject matter in a way that felt both effortless and profound.
Tackling issues including the perils of fame, addiction and depression but also containing an incredible range of visual gags and wordplay BoJack Horseman is easily one of the best Netflix originals currently available, and arguably one of the finest TV shows of all time. - Patrick Cremona
Supacell
Viewers may be feeling some superhero fatigue, but Supacell cuts right through that, telling a story which feels wholly unique and using the genre the explore themes around race and power, while also feeling truly authentic and specific to its time and place. - James Hibbs
Bridgerton
First to meet her match was Daphne, played by Phoebe Dynevor, who started a fake love affair with the smouldering Duke of Hastings, aka breakout star and potential Bond Regé-Jean Page, while season 2 saw the focus shift to Anthony Bridgerton and his relationship with new character Kate Sharma.
Really, you'll want to tune in to see how the dual identity of Penelope as Lady Whistledown unfolds, especially seeing as the anonymous pamphlet writer is the thorn in Colin's side this season. Fun and fresh, with brilliant performances, lavish costumes and a modern soundtrack, the series is a joyous distraction from everyday life – and has gone down a storm. - Emma Bullimore/Morgan Cormack
Big Boys
Loosely based on Rooke's own life and experiences, it follows Dylan Llewellyn's Jack, a closeted and shy 19-year-old man who starts at university while still grieving the loss of his dad. There he meets Jon Pointing's Danny, a 25-year-old, laddy mature student, who is secretly struggling with his own mental health issues. They form a fast friendship, and the series charts the ups and downs of their time at Brent Uni.
Although it elicits chuckles more frequently than it provides laugh-out-loud moments, its utterly easy watching, with some strong messages behind it and a group of characters you'll want to spend your time with. - James Hibbs
Baby Reindeer
Having created and written the series after performing it as a one-man theatre show, Gadd stars as Donny Dunn, an aspiring comedian who works in a pub to make ends meet.
If you've watched I May Destroy You, there are definite similarities to be drawn to the Michaela Coel series – but here, Gadd is unflinchingly reflective on his own past and his own downfalls. - Morgan Cormack
3 Body Problem
Across the eight episodes, we follow a group of five scientists who team up with a detective when the world around them stops following the laws of nature. But what's the threat to earth and will they be able to save humanity? Featuring plenty of familiar faces, this glossy new production is sure to be a hit with any fans of the sci-fi genre and will quickly have viewers wondering if there will be more seasons to come. - Morgan Cormack
The Gentlemen
But things get a lot more complicated when a bunch of dangerous characters want a piece of the operation, leading Eddie to slip further into the criminal underworld that he initially doesn't seem all that cut out for. Featuring well-known faces like Vinnie Jones and Ray Winstone, as well as Max Beesley and Joely Richardson, this a series that is all too easy to tear through. - Morgan Cormack
Beef
The series balances its tones perfectly, with whip-sharp comic dialogue punctuating the darkness of the story. It is at its heart a deeply existential thought-piece about why we need to open up more and talk about our feelings, rather than letting them consume us – and with two terrific central performances, it sells every aspect of that message.
In case you don't believe us, Beef emerged from victorious from the Golden Globes 2024 ceremony, with Yeun and Wong winning awards for their performances as the show was named Best Limited Series. - James Hibbs
The Crown
Claire Foy and Matt Smith set the tone with their stunning portrayals of a young Elizabeth and Philip, whose relationship had to survive the pressures of duty and the public gaze, and Vanessa Kirby made the world fall in love with a complex Princess Margaret.
Nominated for more awards than the producers can count, this show was a game-changer for Netflix, bringing prestige, acclaim and a whole new audience, who were dipping their toes into streaming service waters for the first time just because they wanted to see The Crown.
Beautifully acted, lavish and with a huge budget, it offers tantalising insight into a world we thought we knew, and people whose lives we’ve followed so closely, from afar. (Check out our Season 6 part 2 review for more). - Emma Bullimore/David Craig
Friends
Some may say it dipped off towards the end but, in truth, there was no variation in quality. The show was funny and heartfelt throughout, and while some aspects may now be dated, the series still speaks to timeless themes and a period of life that will be relatable for so many.
His performance as Chandler Bing will go down in comedy history as one of the all-time greats. - James Hibbs/David Craig
Sex Education
The fourth season may be the final farewell for Sex Education, but it doesn't mean that the series will be short of twists, character development and emotional goodbyes.
In this new season, Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) are figuring out what life looks like in their new sixth form and Otis is not only struggling with no longer being the only sex therapist on campus, he also has to contend with being an older sibling and his long distance relationship with Maeve (Emma Mackey). - Morgan Cormack
Top Boy
Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson star as Dushane Hill and Sully Sullivan respectively, with the final season seeing the drug bosses forced to confront the devastating impact they've had on the Summerhouse Estate. It's an absorbing, gritty crime drama that makes the most of its location – brilliantly juggling more intimate personal storylines with grander ambitions. The fast-paced concluding chapter is not to be missed. - Patrick Cremona
Narcos
Debuting not long after the finale of Breaking Bad, it was important for Narcos to distinguish itself from what came before – and it did so with incredible results. Unlike Vince Gilligan's fictional saga, this series is partially grounded in fact, unravelling the extraordinary life of notorious kingpin Pablo Escobar (portrayed by Wagner Moura) from the late 1970s up to his death in 1993.
Pascal plays Javier Peña, another real figure from the case, who is tasked with bringing down Escobar. It's no easy task, with the series offering plenty of thrills as it chronicles the efforts of his team at the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). A sequel series, titled Narcos: Mexico, followed later. – David Craig
Better Call Saul
The answer of course was by standing on its own two feet, while still honouring the past and delivering some of the most nuanced characters of the decade in TV. Bob Odenkirk puts in masterful work as Slippin’ Jimmy McGill, a character so initially detached from the sleazy Saul Goodman that your heart can’t help but break in the knowledge of what he becomes.
The slow-burn series came to an end this year, with legal shenanigans taking more of a back seat to full-on mob warfare. Fans were largely agreed that their long term investment in the series paid off in a big way. - James Hibbs
Stranger Things
The meme-ification of this series can sometimes distract from just how warm, fun and scary Stranger Things can be, full of plucky kids, terrifying monsters and laugh-out-loud moments from the outset and continuing through its second, third and fourth seasons.
Originally following the threat of a single monster slipping through from another dimension and facing off with a telekinetic young girl called Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), the scope of Stranger Things has widened over the years to take in telepathic Mind-Flayers, teen romance, puberty, fashion, grief AND dastardly Russians – as well as a pretty rousing rendition of Never Ending Story at the end of season 3. - Huw Fullerton
Mindhunter
It's a dark and murky series but it still retains a dry sense of humour throughout, while Groff, McCallany and Torv are all on top form. Fincher has said the series is at least done for now, but here's hoping he eventually changes his mind, because this was a smart, intricately crafted thriller the likes of which we don't see all too often. - James Hibbs
Breaking Bad
Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Bob Odenkirk - they all put in electric, utterly believable performances as these characters who have all, intentionally or not, got in way over their heads, while Giancarlo Esposito pulls off one of the most memorable villain performances on screen, so much so that it made the star a go-to baddie for huge series such as The Boys and The Mandalorian. - James Hibbs
Peaky Blinders
The show’s writer Steven Knight has built a story around gang warfare, socialism, fascism, poverty, violence, community, class, family, and Tommy Shelby’s constant scrabble to beat his enemies and rise to the top. But no matter how far his journey has taken him, the demons are never far behind. - Eleanor Bley Griffiths
The Last Kingdom
Dreymon is the breakout star of the show, with his roguish character embarking on many compelling quests as he strives to reclaim the land that is rightfully his. David Dawson (Year of the Rabbit) also earned acclaim for his performance as the pious King Alfred, who is both friend and foe to Uhtred at various stages in his life. Their complex bond is an electric component of the first three seasons.
Based on the popular novels by author Bernard Cornwell, The Last Kingdom began life as a BBC Two drama before later converting to a Netflix original. While it’s never enjoyed the hefty budget of George RR Martin’s fantasy epic, the show has nevertheless orchestrated some ambitious battles across its five-season run – with no shortage of swords, horses and, inevitably, blood. - David Craig
Ozark
With the tiniest wrong move threatening to finish off the entire Byrde family, this enthralling series certainly keeps you hooked, so why not check out Ozark season 4 on Netflix – if nothing else, you’ll enjoy stellar performances from Bateman and Linney. - Molly Moss
Orange is the New Black
Jenji Kohan’s trailblazing series is famous for breaking boundaries, telling stories of humanity, and its fantastic cast. We follow Taylor Schilling’s Piper Chapman, a 30-something woman who is sentenced to 15 months in a minimum-security prison after smuggling drugs. When she arrives at Litchfield Penitentiary, she finds an eccentric bunch of inmates all with very unique and personal stories to tell.
