Netflix is still one of the biggest and most prestigious streaming platforms. Just like in previous years, the OTT platform this year delivered one of the best shows to the audience.
Here are their best TV releases of this year; let’s have a look:
All The Light We Cannot See
One of Netflix’s most recent releases is All the Light We Cannot See, a World War II drama following a blind French girl and a young German soldier, two teenagers whose lives cross paths amid the chaos. With Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie in supporting roles, the series surprisingly scored a dreadful 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the audience score of 82% is a more accurate representation of the series, which is an engaging, refreshing take on the war genre.
The Fall Of The House Of Usher
The Fall of the House of Usher centered around a pharmaceutical CEO whose heirs began to get killed off one by one. The latest wasn’t Mike Flanagan’s best series, but he set a high bar for himself in previous years. Still, it’s an entertaining horror series filled with eccentric personalities and brilliant performances from a well-cast ensemble.
One Piece
Netflix proved many doubters wrong with the release of their live-action manga adaptation, One Piece. It’s set in an outlandish, fantastical world and pulls no punches in ingratiating the audience with its eccentric nature.
One Piece was already a massively popular anime and manga title, and Netflix pulling off a live-action version is a triumph for the service, entertaining longtime fans of the series and introducing new audiences to a beloved franchise. It’s easily one of the most inventive and entertaining shows of 2023.
The Diplomat
One of the biggest Netflix success stories of 2023 was for the new series, The Diplomat. Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell star as Kate and Hal Wyler, a struggling married couple who balance turbulent romance with their high-profile political careers. Kate Wyler is a United States ambassador to the United Kingdom, placed in a complex international crisis.
The show’s first season was released in April 2023, resulting in an Emmy nomination for Keri Russell in the Outstanding Lead Actress category. The excitement for the promising new political drama makes it one of Netflix’s top TV releases of the year.
Beef
One of the best TV dramas of 2023, the miniseries Beef, was Netflix’s best show of the year. It’s centered around two characters who get into a road rage incident, leading them to become enemies who cause chaos and petty destruction in each other’s lives. The Netflix original is packed and memorable despite only being a limited series.
Starring the sensational Steven Yuen in one of his best roles, Beef is a character-driven series that’s as absurdly funny and entertaining as it is brilliantly creative and thought-provoking.
