Better Call Saul
Well, it’s always hard to get a spinoff going, let alone to have it do as well as this one did! Breaking Bad’s Saul Goodman finds himself the unlikely hero of this new series, traveling back in time to discover the heartbreaking and completely compelling story of a man who is doing whatever he can to outrun fate and have a better life.
Daredevil
Taking the dirty, gritty, grim and gritty (again) Marvel Superhero to a TV series was a big move for Netflix, but it gave them license to be as violent and intense as they want without needing to worry about censors (too much) and proved to be a big hit for the content making streaming service. Binge away!
Fargo
The first series quickly made all the Coen Brothers naysayers sit back, shut up and watch and the second series twisted and turned into an even darker, funnier, more brilliant piece of drama, somehow managing to follow on AND standalone. Perfect.
Jessica Jones
Following on from the success of Daredevil, it made sense to explore even more dark recesses of the MCU and Jessica Jones was the place to do it. Violent, sex-fuelled and, even better, complex and to the point, Jessica vs. Killgrave is a must-watch.
Master of None
We all love Aziz Ansari from Parks and Recreation, and he’s one of the biggest stand up comedy stars in the world, so it was awesome when his highly anticipated series hit Netflix late last year. Funny, smart and important. Not a binger, though, but still amazing.
Mr. Robot
Stunning, stylish and gripping, Mr. Robot came out of nowhere, taking this year’s summer TV season by storm as a series that was parts Dexter, Fight Club, Hackers, and – well – you’ll just have to check it out for yourself.
Parks and Recreation
Season 7 closed out this brilliant, optimistic and funny show with a near-perfect ending to satisfy die hard fans and please even the newest viewers. Is this the greatest comedy of all time? Yes. But is it? You decide.
Game of Thrones
Officially tying the show to the books, GoT was massive this season, and we’re still buzzing about what the hell happened in the finale all these months later…
