Collider recently put together a ranking of the “10 Greatest Netflix Shows of the Last 10 Years.” Topping the list was Adolescence, which was released in 2025 and won several Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys. However, a more underrated series that made the list was The Haunting of Hill House, which premiered in 2018.
The show, which was created and directed by Mike Flanagan, was based on the 1959 novel by Shirley Jackson. The gothic horror story was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction in 1960. Considered one of the greatest haunted house stories ever written, it tells the story of four characters who arrive at Hill House.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, revised and remodeled by Mike Flanagan. I don't usually care for this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to a work of genius, really. I think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for sure.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 17, 2018As described by Amazon, they are “Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a haunting; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.”

The modern reimagining of the book, which consists of 10 episodes, has a 93% critic rating and 91% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It features a star-studded cast that includes Michiel Huisman, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Victoria Pedretti.
As one Reddit viewer said, “I only watched it because I saw Stephen King review it as one of the best horror programs to come out in years, and I respect the King, so I gave it a go. I thought it was brilliant, so so so much more than a jump scare ghost story. It explores family relationships, trauma and mental health with the added dimension of this haunted house.”
The series was so beloved that a follow-up series was released in 2020 called The Haunting of Bly Manor, which featured a lot of the same cast playing different characters.
