What are the best series to watch on Netflix India? The streaming service became the biggest subscription-based offering with 183 million members on the back of its strong performance in TV shows, after all. That's plain from the fact that half of the list below is made up of “Netflix originals”, even if the term is used liberally by Netflix. And on top of that, Netflix holds licenses to some all-time popular shows — it's got Friends. Unfortunately, the side-effect of making so many originals is that it recommends them more than the ones it licenses. That's why we took up this mission; the series below come from the US, the UK, India, Japan, Korea, France, Australia, Spain, Germany, Canada, Iceland, and Israel.
To pick the best TV shows on Netflix, we relied on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and IMDb ratings to draw up a shortlist. The last of these was preferred for non-English programming given the shortfalls of reviews aggregators in that department. Additionally, we used our own editorial judgement to add or remove a few. This list will be updated once every few months if there are any worthy additions or if some TV shows are removed from the service, so bookmark this page and keep checking in. Here are the best series currently available on Netflix in India, sorted alphabetically.
- The Affair (2014 – 2019) Winner of the
Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2015, a struggling novelist (Dominic
West) and a young waitress (Ruth Wilson) embark on an extramarital
affair that changes their lives, and those around them. Final season not
yet available, use Amazon or Hotstar. Early seasons are the good years.
- Alias Grace (2017) Margaret
Atwood's 1996 novel of the same name, about a 19th-century Canadian
woman convicted of a double murder who becomes the subject for a
criminal psychologist — a profession that didn't exist in name then —
adapted for screen as a six-part miniseries.
- American Crime Story (2016 – Present) A
true crime anthology series from prolific producer Ryan Murphy, which
follows well-known events that dominated the US media, from the trial of
former sportsman O.J. Simpson to the assassination of fashion designer
Gianni Versace. Season one (The People vs. O.J. Simpson) is better than
two (The Assassination of Gianni Versace).
- Archer (2009 – Present) The
suave, titular spy and his colleagues at an intelligence agency spend
more time bickering with each other than they do solving cases. Evolved
in later years to take on an anthology format, allowing the adult
animated series to experiment with new settings and new characteristics
for its ensemble. Seasons 2 – 5 & 7 are the good ones.
- Ash vs. Evil Dead (2015 – 2018) Bruce
Campbell reprises his role from the original trilogy in this sequel
series set three decades ahead, who takes up arms again with his loyal
sidekick, a moody young woman, and a mysterious figure.
- Better Call Saul (2015 – Present) This
spin-off prequel to Breaking Bad follows a small-time lawyer (Bob
Odenkirk) with the tendencies of a con artist as he transforms into the
morally-challenged criminal lawyer most knew him as, Saul Goodman. Some
consider it superior to the original. Has steadily improved to become
one of the best TV shows.
- The Big Bang Theory (2007 – 2019) Loved
and hated in equal measure, this long-running sitcom is about the lives
of two physicists, their aspiring actress neighbour, and their fellow
geek friends: an aerospace engineer, and an astrophysicist. Added two
women — a neuroscientist and a microbiologist — as it went on. Seasons
two through six were the good years.
- Big Mouth (2017 – Present) A
bunch of middle schoolers navigate the wonders and horrors of puberty
in this adult animated comedy, with ‘hormone monsters' serving as
over-sexualised shoulder angels that personify their thoughts and fears.
- Black Mirror (2011 – Present) Charlie
Brooker's anthology series consisting of standalone episodes — which
means an ever-changing cast, in addition to new settings and storylines —
explores the unanticipated consequences of new technologies, often in
dark and satirical ways. Seasons one through four are good.

other, a washed-up sitcom star plans a comeback to fame with help from a

ghostwriter. The show had a stellar run after a rocky season 1.
- Breaking Bad (2008 – 2013) Diagnosed
with lung cancer, a struggling high school chemistry teacher (Bryan
Cranston) decides to get into the business of making and selling meth to
secure his family's financial future, with the help of his former

all-time best.
- Broadchurch (2013 – 2017) A
look at how violent crimes affect a small seaside town in Britain,

okay second season.
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013 – Present) The
lives of a group of detectives in a fictional New York precinct — an
ensemble featuring Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, and Terry Crews — get
the sitcom treatment from The Office co-creator Michael Schur. Hard to
pick the best of its seven seasons, the last of which is not on Netflix
yet.
- Call My Agent! (2015 – Present) Monica
Bellucci, Isabelle Huppert, and Juliette Binoche are among the many
guest stars in this self-deprecating comedy about the personal and
professional lives of a dysfunctional Parisian talent agency. It's been
praised as both sharp and warm. Upcoming season 4 will be its last.

final year.

described as a German Stranger Things, it follows four families across
three generations and three time periods as they frantically search for
two missing children. All of it is connected to a supernatural mystery.
- The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019 – Present) A
star-studded ensemble voice cast powers this prequel to the 1982 Jim

puppets. There's no use of CGI. Set on the planet Thra, it's about three
exploited Gelflings who rebel against the taxing Skeksis destroying
their world.
- Dear White People (2017 – Present) Set
in a fictional predominantly white Ivy League college, Justin Simien
turns his successful satirical film into a broader series about black

and final season couldn't live up to the first.

across different eras dealing with deception, intrigue and murder amidst

coming-of-age sitcom that follows four British teenagers during their
