If you’ve ever lost an entire Saturday to a Netflixseries and felt zero guilt about it, this list is for you. Netflix has, against all odds and despite every competitor trying its best to dethrone it, remained the one streaming platform everybody has access to. It’s the default, the streamer we fall back to, the thing you pull up when nothing else makes sense.

And Netflix almost always delivers. The library spans every genre under the sun, with originals ranging from brilliant to unmissable, and the best shows on Netflix share one thing in common: they are designed to be binged in large, greedy chunks over a single weekend.
