With just one season, the show has managed to create a buzz with it's very honest take on relationships. The two leads are perfect in their roles and in Apatow fashion, the show takes a brutally honest opinion in romance and how we expect our romantic lives to be and what it actually is, unlike in movies. This show has not fallen in many people's radars but it is a must watch.

The very underrated comedy of Netflix is based on the lives of two women Grace and Frankie, portrayed by Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, who used to be rivals but soon are forced to stay with each other and become friends when their husbands fall for each other.
Marta Kaufman, the creator of Friends brings in her best work since then with this gem. The show doesn't receive much love as it deserves.

Thanks to this show, Daredevil has managed to become a beloved character once again. This is arguably the best live adaptation of a comic book in TV. The fight choreography in the show is perfect giving us some of the best fight scenes that have ever taken place in a TV. Also throughout it's two seasons they had a bunch of amazing characters, especially Vincent D'Onoforio's Kingpin and Jon Bernthal's Punisher in seasons 1 and 2 respectively. Infact, Bernthal's Punisher was so well received that they have even announced a solo Punisher TV Show with Bernthal in the lead.

Aziz Ansari created and starred in this light hearted comedy about the life of Dev Shah, played by Ansari, a struggling actor whose best work was a commercial he did years ago. The show also features his relationship with his friends, parents, his different flings especially Rachel, played by Noel Wells.
This is one of the most refreshing take on comedies with a very simple plot and premise, executed with excellence.

While the show did originate in Fox, it was Netflix which gave it a new life after it's cancellation and made it indeed more popular. The show features a well-to-do dysfunctional family which loses all their money and soon the most hardworking son, Goerge (Jason Bateman) decides to take them all. What follows is a lot of drama and some laugh out loud moments.
Arrested Development is undoubtedly one of the funniest show to be ever made in TV. This show launched the careers of many successful actors of now, including Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Will Arnett and Tony Hale. Also it was this show that revived the career of Jason Bateman, who also went on to win a Golden Globe for his role. Although the show had the bad luck of very low ratings, this show has some really hilarious characters and there is not a single episode which won't make you laugh.

Netflix's latest show can be called as a supernatural science fiction horror thriller. It is set in Indiana in the 1980s. It focuses on the disappearance of a young boy and the mysterious appearance of a young girl and how she helps his friends to find him.
Even the horror megamind Stephen King has said himself that this is a mustwatch. The show pays homage to both King and Spielberg films and 1980s TV. The show is exciting and scary whenever needed. From the first episode itself, you get hooked on to the show and it's eerily creepy premise.

Based on the life of the infamous druglord Pablo Escobar, Narcos focuses on the rise and fall of this notorious crime kingpin and his relationship with other drug lords and the DEA. The show tells the story of the events from the perspectives of Pablo as well as a DEA agent, hell bent on catching him.
Wagner Moura shines in this extraordinary tale as Pablo and it definitely is one of the most well-written, fast paced series. Although the viewpoint of the DEA agent might get boring quite some time but the stellar cast and the gritty stand-offs make you forget all its shortcomings. It's definitely a must-watch if you are a fan of crime drama thrillers.

And on the top is the obvious. The US adaptation of the British show has already started a cult following. The show focuses on the character of Frank Underwood, portrayed by the amazing Kevin Spacey, a democrat who is willing to do anything to get himself to power along with his wife Claire, portrayed by Robin Wright.
This might be a television gem and it won't be wrong to put it along with the ranks of Breaking Bad or The Sopranos . The show's strength comes from it's theme of greed of pure power, ambition and destruction with an amazing lead of Spacey and Wright alongwith strong supporting cast of Michael Kelly, Mahershala Ali, Kate Mara and Reg. E Carthy who have garnered numerous Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

Last but not the least, we have a movie in our list. The movie directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga who previously directed the first season of True Detective. It is about a young boy, Agu (Abraham Attah) who joins a group of guerrilla soldiers and comes under the wing of their fierce warlord known as the Commandant (Idris Elba). He soon becomes an active member taking part in the violence and killings of the soldiers.
Without a doubt, this is Idris Elba's best performance till date and the man deserved an Oscar nomination. Set in war torn Africa, the movie has a violent premise and it was somewhat essential to focus on the horrors or war and how dangerous it's outcomes are. Abraham Attah has become a sensation with his portrayal of Agu. Netflix is not particularly known for their movies, but this is definitely one of their best work and a great gift to cinema.

So which Netflix joy are you going to get?
