Netflix are reportedly set to spend upwards of $8 billion on content this year and are expected to have 700 original TV shows by the end of the year. Here are some of our favorites so far.
Sense8
A unique and compelling sci-fi fantasy with lots of saucy bits and an interesting premise.
Bojack Horseman
Definitely my favorite show about a depressed cartoon horse having a mid-life crisis in Hollywood.
Master of None
A Netflix-original comedy loosely based on writer Ansari’s real-life experiences.
Jessica Jones
Krysten Ritter does a phenomenal job portraying Marvel’s badass Jessica Jones.
House of Cards
An absolute fan favourite with a plot containing more twists and turns than a helter skelter.
The Crown
Peter Morgan’s portrayal of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II is suspenseful and fascinating.
Narcos
Another amazing show about drug-related crime. The show is based on the true story of the hunt for Pablo Escobar.
Orange is the New Black
What started off as a hilarious and raunchy show has shaped up to be an important show which highlights some of the core issues surrounding profit-run prisons in the US.
Stranger Things
Who didn’t watch this in a weekend? The 80’s nostalgia, emotional and unnerving show is one of the most popular Netflix originals to date with its second season drawing in over 15 million viewers.
