10 Best Netflix Series To Watch Right
Bridgerton
It is one of the most popular series on Netflix: the American costume drama Bridgerton that everyone is talking about when a new season is released. The series takes you to the Regency era in London. From Lady Whistledown’s perspective, you follow that time’s romantic stories. This ‘Gossip Girl’ variant from the 19th century is a huge success: Bridgerton is now the most-watched series on Netflix ever. A third season of the series will be released on May 16, 2024, followed by part 2 of the season on June 13, 2024. And there is more good news: a fourth season has also been confirmed.
One Day
One Day went viral in no time for good reason because this series is excellent. But don’t expect anything light-hearted: ‘One Day’ is not only romantic but also sad. In the series we follow the relationship of the main characters Dexter and Emma over the years (for twenty years), always taking place on the date they met during their graduation. So we see them growing up together from their college days, balancing between the vague area between friends and lovers.
Berlin
More than six years after the first season of La Casa de Papel, there is now a prequel called Berlin. And it is, yes, about the character Berlin of the same name. Although he did not make it past season two in the original series, viewers embraced him en masse. In Berlin, we get to see what happened to the professor’s brother before he robbed the now-well-known bank.
Bodies
When the British crime thriller Bodies arrived on Netflix in October 2023, no one was talking about anything else. The blood-curdling British crime thriller is not exactly cast in a ‘standard’ format. The miniseries follows four different detectives in four timelines, 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. Also in the future. The success of Bodies is that you have the feeling that you are watching four series at the same time – with the charms and vicissitudes of each era.
Peaky Blinders
Peaky Blinders is the British historical drama series by Steven Knight. The series is about the life of the Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang from Birmingham, just after the First World War. The fictional family is based on a real-life urban youth gang of the same name, which operated in the city from the 1890s to the early 20th century. The series is not only exciting but also fantastically decorated. When you watch Peaky Blinders you sometimes feel like a resident of Birmingham itself. And oh yes, another reason to take a look: Dutch Gaite Jansen also plays in what we think is one of the best series on Netflix right now.
Stranger Things
Another favorite of many: Stranger Things is a science fiction horror series from America. The Netflix hit takes you back to the 1980s and tells the story of a group of children who together discover mysterious forces and find out how the government is trying to cover up the truth. If you haven’t watched this Netflix series yet, it’s about time. Enjoy four seasons and a great preparation for the fifth season, which will be released at the end of 2025 or early 2026.
Dirty lines
After the success of Undercover, a new Netflix Original from Dutch soil could of course not be left behind. Dirty Lines tells the story of the Stigter brothers, who founded an unexpectedly successful company in 1980s Amsterdam, specializing in sex lines. The fun Netflix series was made with a very young cast and contains a few strong female roles, according to actresses Joy Delima and Charlie-Chan Dagelet.
Grace & Frankie
Grace & Frankie should of course not be missing from the top 10 Netflix series of 2023. The first episode of the series launched in 2015, but since then the Netflix series has continued until season 7, which was released on April 29, 2022. With golden actresses such as Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, humor and quality are assured. This Netflix comedy is definitely worth watching.
The Sound of Magic
The Sound of Magic is a South Korean Netflix series based on the Naver webtoon Annarasumanara (a kind of digital comic book) by Ha Il-kwon. The emotional fantasy drama is about a mysterious magician who comes across a girl who has lost her hopes and dreams and a boy who is forced to dream. Will it be as sudden a hit as Squid Game? In any case, the story and approach are very original, which in our opinion deserves a place in the best Netflix series top 10.
The Crown
The Crown is a British historical drama series by screenwriter Peter Morgan. He takes you to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and the difficult choices she encounters. The series was made with a budget of €110 million per season, making it the most expensive Netflix series ever. A place on the list of best series on Netflix of 2024 is what they at least deserve, right?
