Here’s our indispensable guide – the first in an ongoing series – to the best shows that are currently available to stream on Netflix in Australia.
It’s a near-impossible task, but the finished list is worth the struggle. In compiling Netflix’s 20 essential shows, I had a few simple parameters: scripted only , mix the signature hits with the lesser-known, and recognise the breadth of the streaming service’s programming. Your favourite show might not be here, then again neither is mine.
Has there ever been a sitcom as silly and yet sublime as Lisa McGee’s ode to her 1990s high school misadventures in Northern Ireland during the final years of sectarian conflict. Historic events and being banned from the local chippy intertwine as a group of teenage girls – and their plus-one male English cousin – plot wildly and act badly. The funniest coming of age tale going.
A classic American network sitcom in structure – 22-minute episodes! – loaded with inventive ideas, ingenious gags and moral quandaries, the four seasons of this metaphysical comedy find a group of wayward strangers exploring the afterlife. It is in turn nutty, soulful, and stacked with note-perfect performances .Filmmaker turned showrunner Mike Flanagan is Netflix’s resident horror auteur: year after year he updates classic horror tales or modifies the genre.
Tom Robinson, and many other sketch comics, wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for this feted troupe of British comics. Netflix has all four seasons of their BBC show, which debuted in 1969 and paved the way for their classic film comedies, and while time and a changing society has shaded certain numbers, there is still one-of-a-kind brilliance here.When the two circles on your Venn diagram are filmmaker David Fincher and infamous serial killers of the 1970s, you’re in for an intense series.
