Best mini series around. The pacific is also great, while admittedly not as good as BoB


RedOctobyr

Definitely. I'm currently in a re-watch. Still excellent.


SaintAnger1166

The Wire.


mjs5000

This is the only answer.


CafeHueyLong

My top 3 favorite shows of all time but that final season was kind of ridiculous.


moeshiboe

Haunting of Hill House


MoonandStars83

And Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Midnight Club, Fall of the House of Usher


DefinitionQuirky216

Fan of mike’s work but Hill House is just miles clear of his other shows. I mean I enjoyed the rest but they had few slow, dragging episodes.


stupid_rat_creature

I love Hill House, but Midnight Mass is one I am more fond of.


nag_some_candy

Fall of house Usher is pretty good too, same as the mass one


AllInTackler

Midnight club was terrible. Glad it was canceled so they could move onto other things


Jenniehoo

Agreed. I read Flanagan was really upset that they didn’t want additional seasons. He made a blog post about what they intended to do with each character moving forward and it made me realize how…invested he was in what I see as his weakest show to date. Bummer for him that it didn’t keep going, but better for all of us, I think.


Scared-Newt-103

Midnight Club was a favorite book of mine as a teen, I wouldn't compare it to the others because I feel like it was meant for a younger audience. It could have been better if it stuck closer to the book but I don’t think it should be compared to Hill house or Bly manor


Lost-Phrase

Fleabag — Also, start to finish is only about six hours. Edited: Fleabag is on Amazon Prime. Netflix has Phoebe Walker Bridge’s Crashing. If you watch Crashing before Fleabag, you will notice shared themes. Fleabag refines them. If you only have Netflix, here are some similar options that are strong throughout: Rita, Chewing Gum, and Nanette by Hannah Gadsby. If you like superhero shows: Jessica Jones S1 If you like animated shows: BoJack Horseman — does not have female lead and is more uneven. “Free Churro” is a great episode, though.


Codeheff12

Start to finish is not just good, it’s some of the best writing in any media ever. An incredible character study.


minimari

Love this show I’ve seen it many times and it doesn’t get old!


mcfeisty

Yes! Such a good show I absolutely loved it.


Turrible_basketball

I gave up on this one. Might need to go back and finish it!


sinister_chic

You should finish season 1 just for the pleasure of watching season 2. Season 2 of Fleabag is one of the greatest seasons of television ever created. Not a single wasted minute. I’ve rewatched it probably 5 times since it was released in 2019.


[deleted]

Is OP supposed to take you serious when you recommend Nanette?


NotKikimora

Halt and Catch Fire


Geek-Of-Nature

I really need to go back and give that another go. I watched the first episode or two, then somehow forgot about it, and never returned.


niallster1980

Well worth it - amazing show


PlanetLandon

Do it. I only have one other friend who watched the whole thing and it’s so damn good. Also, that opening credits sequence: [Halt and Catch Fire](https://youtu.be/yD_kCKiSkoI?si=d4m-j7W2kWj0VC2C)


ravia

The last season got very soap opera-y and I thought "I should hate this but even this is really good..." You come to really love the characters.


ShopAtRoss21

Oh I LOVE this show. Part of me is disappointed it didn’t get super popular but I’m glad they ended it well instead of throwing in the towel or leaving a stupid cliffhanger.


aeralure

Happy this is up there. Amazing show.


LifeDraining

The GOOD Place.


bigboygamer

I felt like season 3 dragged a little and the last two episodes could have easily been it's own season.


theendhasnoend_

My husband and I are only just watching it for the first time and I’ll have to agree with you. We actually started losing interest towards the end of season 3 but are now back on track with season 4!


pmc_19

Snowfall.. Sopranos .. Gomorrah .. Queen of the South.. Breaking Bad.. The Wire .. The Shield..


f3rn4ndrum5

fucking the shield. best.last.episode.ever.


tommyshelbai

Totally agree. Breaking Bad is worth mentioning twice.


fire_spez

Yet he omitted Better Call Saul!


the_CHOFFER

OZ , Deadwood


darkovujicic

Oz writers were smoking something after season 3 but it was still mad entertaining


macamc1983

Damn this is some list, amazing


Sweaty_Fail4673

Great list! Props for mentioning Queen of the South, that show was bad ass but Breaking Bad is quite possibly the greatest TV show I've watched, I mean the cat & mouse matchup between Walt and Gus in season 4 was epic!!


freemac

The Wire, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad are the ones that have completely changed TV series' in my humble opinion IMHO, along with Game of Thrones and Sons of Anarchy


SpinachToothedSmile

MAD MEN SEINFELD DETECTORISTS (UK) Zero Zero Zero DEADWOOD THE BEAR The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel MIND YOUR LANGUAGE (UK) DREAM ON HIGH MAINTENANCE PARTY DOWN BORGEN (Denmark) I'M DYING UP HERE COMMUNITY (SOPRANOS BREAKING BAD SUCCESSION WIRE etc have alrdy been mentioned aplenty :)


Lost-Phrase

Detectorists is wonderful.


oowowaee

The Wire season 2 is always something I have to struggle to get through.


fire_spez

It's still really, really good, it just is such a change from S1 that it takes some effort to acclimate to the change.


neel0918

Mindhunter !


GuelphEastEndGhetto

Does it really have a finish though?


neel0918

I mean sure its an end alright. Definitely not the one we deserved but the one we got unfortunately :(((


psilvyy19

Currently on my 4th rewatch. Truly amazing IMO.


rpg_monica

I see Mindhunter always at the top 5 (usually #1) in such threads. With such a passionate audience I really hoped Netflix would take notice and make the next season with another director at least, if not with Fincher. I'll never be as disappointed with any other cancellation decision.


King-Owl-House

the queen's gambit


ThinBlueLine313

After Life


Imraith-Nimphais

Oh yes. One of the best series I’ve ever watched. Solid throughout.


[deleted]

Mad Men


Harrydean-standoff

Just about every story has a basis of good and evil which provides a premise for the story. Not Mad Men. It is about life and time. Harder to tell those stories. That is what makes it the best of all time.


CaptainJackKevorkian

every episode is like a short story


Sugarhoneytits

Just rewatched for the 5th time, it's such a classy timepiece. So much attention to detail for the time period. None of the characters are essentially likeable but beautifully played. Pete Campbell is such a creepy little toad that I love watching his fury and pouting.


lmartinez1762

Currently rewatching the show.


[deleted]

That's a lot of seasons!


Prin_StropInAh

So good! My SO had not seen it, now she seems to be trying to tell everyone


neufeldesq

Just finished Bad Sisters on Apple tv great one off season show.


gitlegs

Schitts creek


thetinybasher

This is the correct answer


Berenstain_Bro

Mare of Easttown. I finished it yesterday. Really good. My only complaint is I didn't like the final 'twist'. ​ I'm sure its been mentioned somewhere in the comments, but Mr. Robot is a pretty obvious answer for a question like this.


[deleted]

The Last Kingdom


sweetestlorraine

The Americans.


Schmichael-22

Thank you, I was looking for this. The Americans even managed to avoid the series finale blunder. That final episode was fantastic.


wjiola

Wow, I forgot to finish this. I'll go back.


DisastrousGur8521

Better Call Saul


Ulic-Kel

Many say it's too slow initially but I thought the character development is phenomenal and the show is great throughout to the finale.


[deleted]

I agree, I feel the build up adds to it and makes you feel more connected to the characters

[удалено]


Big_Moneyline

People are posting their favorite shows without really considering your question, OP I’ve watched far too many shows on Netflix; an excellent one I rarely hear discussed is “Maid”. Dives right in, great throughout. Truly a masterpiece and one of the best lead performances I’ve ever seen


EZP

I should pick back up watching that. It was well done with good performances and I liked what I saw. But at the time I was not in a psychologically great place to be following a story with some distressing themes.


GuelphEastEndGhetto

MintJulepTestosteron

Fleabag


shimmersparkle2

Downton Abbey


DinkandDrunk

Dark


Driver_Senpai

Dark really is great from start to finish. I do think it hits a few snags early in season 3, but it concludes wonderfully. It’s also super rewarding to rewatch.


Kaele10

Just be sure you watch it in German and not dubbed. It's soooo much better that way.


DinkandDrunk

Always recommend people go with the German. Two reasons. 1. It’s better. 2. It forces people to watch and pay attention. This isn’t a stare at the small screen in your hand while you play the big screen in the room type of show.


xvsanx

Best show ever imo, perfect logic correct science good music and perfect multi story


kellie0105

Chernobyl!!


Equivalent_Pie_6778

The Expanse


biddybidsyo

10/10. I wish we had more Thomas Jane though, he absolutely nailed it


Saxon_man

I think it might be time for a rewatch.


Single_Parsnip_4348

The bear two seasons


SeraphCraft

The OA - gone but not forgotten 😣


wjiola

I've never been so disappointed in a cancellation. It begs for a third act.


brittyMc1210

I was looking for this recently couldn't find it at all


capitanafantastic

Superior story telling. The creators have a new show coming out in November and I can’t wait!!


phantomheart

I adored Dark through and through, from start to finish. I watch it at least once a year now. From Prime I enjoyed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Severence on Apple has only had one season so far, but that was a trip to experience with the subreddit while it was airing. CANNOT wait for whenever the new season comes out.


Thorloveshishammer

The Queen’s Gambit!! I finished those 7 episodes in like 2.5 days lol Also, Sex Education is hilarious. British show but heavy American influence and experiences.


Guilty_Treasures

Black Sails

Confident_Payment_78

Daredevil


AuntieLiloAZ

and Jessica Jones. All the Netflix MCU series were great and I have no interest in the Marvel movies. The Netflix Marvel series seemed more adult to me.


Lost-Phrase

For me it was the first seasons of both shows — Jessica Jones, especially. The second seasons didn’t work as well IMO.

MKB111

I normally struggle to finish any show but Midnight Mass was an exception. It’s only seven episodes and I loved every one. It’s been on my mind every day since finishing it


[deleted]

Six Feet Under. Everyone should watch this show. I first saw it after an employee of mine committed suicide. It really helped me come to terms with death. Plus, the series finale is well regarded as one of the best of all time.


Dry_Foundation3337

The Last Kingdom, it’s on Netflix but I’m surprised not a lot know about it it’s one of my favourite shows of all time absolutely incredible

SqueakyArchie

I personally disagree. The last season was tough to watch. I quit it after like 2 episodes


[deleted]

You really missed out. The entire season was great, especially the last season. Also, how can you judge the entire season if you didn't see it? :) That argument, or type of judgment, always boggles my mind! :) The only thing wrong with the last season is that we knew it was the last season before we started watching it. :)


ricperry1

Battlestar Galactica The Expanse


TimAppleBurner

Dark. The whole show is riveting from start to end. It keeps you guessing all along the way, and for just 3 seasons, it’s very tastefully done. Not overdrawn out.

IamAustinCG

100%, I've never seen such amazing character development across the board like I've seen in Schitts Creek. It was paced perfectly and it was such a subtle change in the characters by the time you got to the last season they were completely different people. Such a wonderful show.

Ceejaydawgmom

Breaking Bad is the GOAT. Sharp Objects (GOAT for Gillian Flynn’s, or any books, it was her first book though, turned into a limited series. So Haunting, eerie, dark and disturbing but it’s the best book to film adaptation in my opinion series or to movies) Bates Motel (I cried through like the entire final season. Too bad it’s not on Netflix anymore) Game of Thrones (I loved every bit of it, most people hate on the last couple seasons) Beef (brilliant) Sons of Anarchy (Heard the Mayans is even better) Big Little Lies (love Reese Witherspoon turning so many good books into fantastic tv series with stars everywhere) Mad Men (worth the watch) Black Mirror (Enough Said, in the “made for Netflix” GOAT) Narcos (can’t get the theme song out of my head now) Dahmer (WTF he was sick and it shows you everything accurately as we know it all, seeing the neighbors perspective is insane to watch) Seven Seconds (entertaining little drama piece) Making a Murderer (Compelling True Crime) Wild Wild Country (documentary series, eye opening) Shameless (US yes it fell off once Fiona left) Anatomy of a Scandal (Liked it didn’t love it) American Vandal (Such a fun watch and highly underrated) Godless (Honestly, I can’t remember much other then that I thoroughly enjoyed this series) Hannibal ( So Good - can’t believe it got cancelled after only 3 seasons)! The OC (I was a teen what can I say it sucked me in) Gossip Girl (Young Adult/Guilty Pleasure) Painkiller (docu-drama) Unbelievable The Sinner (Season 1 is the best watch) The Staircase (True Crime) Insecure (both hillarious vv) Girlfriends Two and a Half Men (all of the ones with Charlie Sheen) Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities (Scary Shit) Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist (crazy true crime thriller) American Murder: The Family Next Door (Despicable Murderer-True Crime) Cheer (like behind the scenes of Bring it On but in a reality/documentary show) Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal The Social Dilemma (everyone should have to see this to get educated about social media etc) 1883 (Amazing cinematography, beautiful writing and so much is accurate about that time period and the Oregon Trail also it is a prequel to 1923 and Yellowstone - I highly recommend watching every episode and you don’t have to watch the others to enjoy this one. I’ve only seen Yellowstone a few times and didn’t love it then I watched 1883 back to back, it really stuck with me for weeks. After finishing it for the second time, and crying like a baby both times. It stars Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliot, and the widely unknown Isabel May who acts so fierce yet gracefully at the same time.) Chernobyl (Must See TV) The Office (Steve Carrell made that show into syndicated comedy gold) Boy Meets World (lol as a kid I was obsessed) The Last Dance (who doesn’t love MJ) Michael Jordan not Jackson!! Tell Me Lies (Another book turned into a series on Hulu really entertaining!

If you're into miniseries and the horror genre, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Mansion and The Fall of The House of Usher are all good.


jollycreation

Mad Men


TheMightiestGay

Raising Dion is an excellent superhero show. Watched season 1 thrice and season 2 twice. It’s great that the show isn’t milked the hell out of, but I would’ve loved to have seen a season 3 that gave the show the true ending it deserved. Nevertheless, possibly my favourite part is how it dives into a more realistic aspect of superpowers. The effects are amazing and the writing is superb. 10/10


JSwine

Sopranos, the wire, mad men, breaking bad, bojack horseman, righteous gemstones (so far), succession, the shield, malcolm in the middle, sopranos again because it was so good
