Set ten years after a disastrous kidnapping, middle-aged Kimmy Schmidt adjusts to life back in New York City. This comedy series features a new roommate for Kimmy (Tina Fey), who finds that adjusting to life outside of an underground bunker can be challenging.

The first season was met with mixed reviews from critics and fans alike; however, it eventually gained popularity among audiences as Netflix continued streaming new episodes of What’s Wrong With Kimmy Schmidt.

The teen drama was renewed for a second season after originally being envisioned as a standalone miniseries. While critics have had mixed reactions to Riverdale, audiences seem to love it. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 94%, which is high by any standard. Not only has Riverdale been nominated for numerous awards but it has also won several including five Teen Choice Awards and two People’s Choice Awards. In a strange twist of fate Betty and Veronica were voted favorite female TV character and Archie Andrews was voted as favorite male TV character at San Diego Comic Con 2017 even though most people had never heard of Riverdale before that year.
7: Mindhunter
In 2152 America, using drugs to solve your problems is not only socially acceptable it’s encouraged. No matter what kind of problem you have–whether your trouble is serious or just that you feel a little low—the newest solution is pharmaceutical. With drug dealers such as Chemie and Stanton Pharmaceuticals able to deliver through any possible means of transportation almost anywhere in America at all times (really fast) these drugs are completely unregulated and completely legal. People no longer face consequences for breaking laws but instead are applauded for breaking them.
6: Stranger Things

The smash hit series by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer has garnered immense critical acclaim for its unique setting and premise.

Critically acclaimed directors Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Cuarón have praised Stranger Things as the most engaging piece of art since 2001: A Space Odyssey. With a new season confirmed to be released soon, there is renewed excitement surrounding what strange events await our favourite characters as they move into their sophomore year at Hawkins High School.
5: Black Mirror
Why do we watch bad things happen to good people? It’s a classic question that has plagued philosophers for centuries. One likely answer: because it’s entertaining as hell. And you don’t get much more entertaining than Black Mirror. The series, which explores how technology influences human life and relationships, just dropped its fourth season onto Netflix. But even if you’ve watched every episode of Black Mirror before, chances are there’s something new for you to binge watch over the next couple days—if there’s not already a whole new season waiting for you by then. Whatever your mood is right now (me? I’m feeling existential dread) one thing remains true: science fiction makes life more interesting and exciting than ever.
4: Altered Carbon
Set in a world where people can upload their consciousness into new bodies and almost everyone has multiple bodies—or sleeves—to live life through, Altered Carbon takes place hundreds of years from now. The show (based on a novel of the same name) follows Takeshi Kovacs as he tries to unravel a murder in what appears to be a dystopian society. It’s hard to discuss Altered Carbon without delving into spoiler territory—the plot is based around mysteries and twists galore—but there are plenty of reasons to watch beyond that initial set-up. If you’re looking for an action-packed sci-fi experience with a cool visual style, it’s definitely worth checking out.
