21. Anne with an E 92% · 2017 · ages 8+
    A talkative orphan girl arrives in a small 1890s town and slowly wins people over. It's warm, thoughtful and well acted, and it takes on harder subjects than most family dramas.

38. The Walking Dead 91% · 2010 · ages 15+
    The Walking Dead starts as a bleak survival drama about a man waking into a zombie world, and its early seasons are its strongest. It runs very long, and quality varies, so it suits viewers who like gore and long commitments.
39. Riverdale 91% · 2017 · ages 12+
    A soapy, heightened mystery set in a teen world full of murders and cults. It's silly in an entertaining way, but you have to buy into the melodrama.
40. Wednesday 91% · 2022 · ages 12+
    A dark, funny teen mystery that works best on Jenna Ortega's deadpan lead performance. The plot gets silly in places, but viewers broadly enjoy the gothic style, the school-of-outcasts setting and the cello-heavy atmosphere.
41. The Umbrella Academy 91% · 2019 · ages 15+
    A messy, funny, stylish superhero show about a dysfunctional family, with strong music and good casting. It's at its best in the early seasons; the time-travel plot gets tangled later on.
42. Sex Education 91% · 2019 · ages 14+
    A funny, frank and kind teen comedy about a nervous boy running a sex advice clinic at school. It treats awkward subjects honestly and cares about its whole cast, not just the leads.
43. Vikings 91% · 2013 · ages 15+
    A big, violent historical drama about a Viking raider's rise and the family that follows him. It's strongest in its early seasons and keeps its pull as the cast changes.
44. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba 91% · 2019 · ages 15+

45. Black Mirror 91% · 2011 · ages 15+
    Each episode is a separate dark story about technology and what it does to people. Quality varies, but the best are sharp, disturbing and memorable, and you can start almost anywhere.
46. Suits 91% · 2011 · ages 12+
    A slick, witty legal drama about a brilliant fake lawyer and the star closer who hires him. It runs on banter, big-money deals and loyalty. It's highly bingeable, though the legal cases are more glossy than real.
47. Teen Wolf 91% · 2011 · ages 15+
    A teen supernatural drama with werewolves, mysteries and a big cast. It's soapy and a bit silly, but if you like the genre it's very bingeable.
48. Bridgerton 91% · 2020 · ages 15+
    A glossy Regency-era romance soap with lavish costumes, gossip and steamy storylines. It's easy, bingeable fun if you like the style, but it isn't deep, and it's more romance than history.
49. Legacies 91% · 2018 · ages 12+
    A teen supernatural drama set at a school for young witches, vampires and werewolves. It is a spin-off, so it works best for people who already like the Vampire Diaries universe; newcomers may find it too soapy.

74. Money Heist 90% · 2017 · ages 14+
    Money Heist is a binge series built on cliffhangers, with an elaborate heist, hostages and a leader who plans everything. It gets silly later, but it's addictive and the characters are memorable.
75. Peaky Blinders 90% · 2013 · ages 15+
    A stylish gangster drama about a Birmingham family after World War One, led by a haunted, ambitious Tommy Shelby. It has strong acting, great looks and a sharp soundtrack. Violence is frequent, but the family story keeps it engaging.
76. Elite 90% · 2018 · ages 15+
    A glossy Spanish teen thriller where rich and poor students collide, and a murder frames each season. It is soapy, sexy and silly in places, but it's easy to binge if you like drama with a mystery hook.
77. My Hero Academia 90% · 2016 · ages 11+
    A boy with no powers inherits one in a world full of superheroes. The anime takes the superhero school idea seriously and delivers action and feeling, with viewers rating it very highly.
78. The Seven Deadly Sins 90% · 2014 · ages 13+
    A group of disgraced knights reunites to save a kingdom from corrupt Holy Knights. It's a colourful fantasy anime with fun fights and a warm cast, though the plot gets busy as it goes on.
79. Avatar: The Last Airbender 90% · 2005 · Rated TV-Y7
    A children's cartoon that works for adults too, with a deep world, real stakes, and a villain you end up caring about. The three seasons hold together beautifully.
80. One-Punch Man 90% · 2015 · ages 11+
    A hero who beats every enemy with one punch is bored by how easy it is. The animation is fun and the jokes land, and it plays well as both a parody and a real action show.
81. You 90% · 2018 · ages 15+
    A charming bookshop manager turns into a stalker and murderer, and the show makes you uncomfortably complicit in his narration. It's compulsive and darkly funny, though the plots get more outlandish as seasons go on.
82. The End of the F***ing World 90% · 2017 · ages 15+
    Two troubled teens run away together on a dark, funny road trip. It is short, quirky and sharply written, with a surprising amount of feeling underneath. A tight binge that doesn't overstay.
