By tackling real-world issues around race and social attitudes which the main series has so far largely avoided, this prequel marks itself out from the original in the best way while also delivering a sweet, endearing love story which is sure to have fans gripped from start to finish. With strong central performances across the board, Queen Charlotte really is worth any Bridgerton fan's time. - James Hibbs
Widely regarded as one of the best series of the 21st century, if not all time, Breaking Bad starts off with a killer premise and then just ramps up and up and up until it reaches one of the most satisfying finales for a long-running series ever.
Video game adaptations don't have the best track record, so you'd be forgiven for being sceptical about whether Arcane is worth your valuable time. However, rest assured that it most definitely is. The animated series is inspired by the online phenomenon League of Legends, but you don't require any knowledge of the source material to be enraptured by its larger-than-life characters or get lost in its rich fantasy world.
The heist genre gets subverted in this crime caper, which uses a female narrator, a Spanish cultural lens and a twisty-turny narrative to update the long-running formula with a series where the complex characters and their relationships matter just as much as the actual heist. A few unnecessary love triangles mean the show veers dangerously close to soap opera territory in later seasons - but at its best Money Heist is a smart, inventive and utterly gripping series that truly deserves its status as one of the most-watched non-English language shows in the world. - Daniel Furn
Tackling issues including the perils of fame, addiction and depression but also containing an incredible range of visual gags and wordplay BoJack Horseman is easily one of the best Netflix originals currently available, and arguably one of the finest TV shows of all time. - Patrick Cremona
The weather is getting colder, which means more and more people are staying inside, curling up under a blanket, and looking for something to watch. The good news? Netflix is ready to deliver whatever you're in the mood for. From hidden gems like Private Life and Hunt for the Wilderpeople to classics like Jaws and Saving Private Ryan, there are a plethora of incredible movies on Netflix. It can be difficult to choose, but this article will help you find just what you're looking for, whether it be a comedy that'll have you laughing so hard you cry (hello, Monty Python and the Holy Grail) or a heartbreaking drama that'll have the tears flowing for a different reason (Tick, Tick...Boom! will require a whole box of tissues). Read on to discover the best movies to watch on Netflix right now.
Considered by many critics to be one of the best films of 2009, Up In The Air was nominated for six Academy Awards and six Golden Globes, one of which the film won for Best Screenplay by Reitman and Turner. The all-star cast also includes Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring), Jason Bateman (Ozark), Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones), J.K. Simmons (Whiplash), Zack Galifianakis (The Hangover), and Sam Elliot (Road House). The film grossed an impressive $166 million against its $25 million budget, making it not just a critical success but a box office smash. - Emily Cappello

So that you don't have to spend hours searching through thousands of movies, some good, some bad and everything in-between, we've compiled a list of the best science-fiction movies and television shows currently on Netflix.
Synopsis: The story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives. It both captures the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and the lesser-seen bottom up perspective of what it was like from an excited kid's perspective, living near NASA but mostly watching it on TV like hundreds of millions of others. It's ultimately both an exacting re-creation of this special moment in history and a kid's fantasy about being plucked from his average life in suburbia to secretly train for a covert mission to the moon.
Why you should watch: Frankly, "Dune" is epic and everyone should be made to read them as school instead of all that RC Sherriff nonsense. Frank Herbert's series of novels were also a massive influence to George Lucas when he was writing "Star Wars" (Tatooine and Arrakis, spice freighters, Spice Mines of Kessel etc). This is a another interpretation that's quite different to the 1984 David Lynch version...and it will very much come down to personal opinion as to which yo prefer. Here at Space.com, we prefer Lynch's movie, but that's to say this isn't worth watching, it very much is. A strong cast very goes a long way, but we miss the steampunk aesthetic of the first attempt.
Why you should watch: While "Predator 2" was entertaining and at least the first "Alien v Predator" movie was mediocre, this is by far the best entry into the franchise, aside from the original. Producer Robert Rodriguez went to great lengths to be as faithful to the first film as he possibly could. This time, an impressively buff Adrien Brody takes on the alien assassins in a different approach to this interstellar safari. He's joined by the likes of Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Topher Grace and Laurence Fishburne.
Why you should watch: If you haven't seen Season 1, you've got 8 hours and 52 minutes worth to get through first. The second season is considerably better than the first, but to get maximum enjoyment, we suggest taking in the first season as well. The production design on this is incredible and thankfully Anthony Mackie helps bring the story up to the same standard of the Blade Runner-esque visual aesthetic. Tragically, Netflix canceled "Altered Carbon," so there won't be a third season, but these are without a doubt still worth watching.
Why you should watch: There are only a few episodes in each season and among those are some truly inspired moments of genius from the show's creator Charlie Brooker. The first episode "The National Anthem" will frankly shock you into watching more and the standalone episode entitled "Bandersnatch" was the world's first interactive television experience, where you determine what happens to the principal character. Quite what dystopian misadventure awaits in this, the brand new fourth season...remains to be seen.
Why you should watch: Remember how "Battlestar Galactica" was reimagined? The same has been done to the old 1965, black and white show that came from the mind of Irwin Allen. And the result is amazing. The first season is marginally better than the second, but both are worth binge-watching in their entirety. You'll laugh, you'll definitely cry and you'll be on the edge of your seat as you watch John Robinson, his wife, Maureen, their children (Judy, Penny and Will) and Major Don West fight to survive against the natural elements of an alien world. In the third and final season, the stakes are higher than ever and the Robinson family's survival instincts will be put to the ultimate test.
Why you should watch: This is the best original series Netflix has produced since "Lost in Space." Each story is totally different and while some follow a familiar theme, or perhaps feature some ideas seen before, each one has a totally unique twist. Some episodes are dark and disturbing, while others exhibit a very dark, but hilarious, sense of humor. Every one is creative, well written and beautifully produced. The first season contains 18 episodes and the second just eight and quite often there are very subtle nods to well known sci-fi franchises, including "The Terminator" and "Aliens." Season 3 recently debuted on Netflix. It captures your imagination and never lets go.
Why you should watch: Arguably one of the best hangover cures or rainy day shows ever made for television. During each atrociously bad B-movie, the crew of the SOL space station, Jonah, Servo, Crow and Gypsy, mercilessly shred it, with sarcastic and side-splittingly funny comments. The current Netflix offering is two seasons; the first is called "The Gauntlet" (six episodes) and the second is "The Return" (14 episodes). Back in November 2019, Netflix canceled the show, but in April of 2021, creator and star Joel Hodgson launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of more episodes and a dedicated platform to show every season of the show. The campaign reached its minimum goal of $2 million within 25 hours of launch and ended with more than $6.5 million, assuring that more episodes will be produced.
Is Netflix your streaming Twin Flame? It might be this week, as we've added a pair of new series to our list of the best TV shows to watch on Netflix. First up is Escaping Twin Flames, the docuseries about the Twin Flames Universe matchmaking love cult run by a pair of awful people who did terrible things to people. Also new is Pluto, a Japanese science-fiction anime about a serial killer targeting specialized robots that will leave you thinking and, maybe, crying a little.
