Cable TV is slowly fading into the past and streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and HBO have taken over the television industry. The amount of content that's regularly released far exceeds one's ability to consume it. While audiences rejoice at the wide variety of TV shows, movies, and documentaries, some viewers also face the problem of choice.
Netflix, in particular, enjoys booming popularity among audiences all over the world. Along with airing fan-favorite shows, Netflix's original content like Bojack Horseman, Ozark, and more, have come to the forefront. With nearly 2,000 TV shows available, some series stand out as the streaming service's best.
