All of Netflix's original series, ranked
There's so much out there on Netflix – you can't rely on an algorithm to choose what to watch next. So we've gone through every single one of their original series (so not including things like Better Caul Saul or Doctor Who, that air on normal TV elsewhere) and ranked them from worst to best. We've not included stand-up comedy specials, kids' shows or anime – just the dramas, the comedies and the documentaries.
70. Russell Peters vs. the World
A full TV series (why?) that goes behind the scenes of Russell Peters' (who?) new tour (where?)
Seriously, who cares?
69. Haters Back Off
YouTube show turned streaming series, which follows the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING Miranda Sings (Colleen Ballinger) and her weirdo family as she tries to find fame.
68. Hemlock Grove
Eli Roth's soap opera / horror flick about a bunch of rich monsters somehow managed to make it to three seasons before being cancelled, even though we don't know anyone who actually watches it.
67. Girlboss
Loosely based on the autobiography of startup millionaire Sophia Amoruso, who founded the Nasty Gal vintage clothes company, this comedy-drama is as narcissistic as a selfie, and as trying as a whining millennial.
66. Gypsy
Cancelled after just one season, this Naomi Watts vehicle was nowhere near as interesting as its premise - a psychotherapist secretly infiltrates the private lives of her patients - would seem to suggest
65. Marvel's Iron Fist
Controversial casting, awkward fighting, weird villains, and some of the most padded scripts in the Netflix Marvel Universe. Critics were disappointed, we can't imagine Marvel were particularly happy either.
64. Marco Polo
Even a massive budget couldn't save this boring, messy historical epic from the bins of history. Cancelled after two seasons, which was a relief for everyone who struggled to watch it.
63. Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On
A spin-off from the popular Netflix doc Hot Girls Wanted, this six-part series explores sex, dating and (mostly) porn in the modern world – but it's nothing you haven't seen before.
62. Fuller House
Apparently Netflix's most-watched sitcom, which proves there's no accounting for taste. Nostalgia-led spin-off of a '90s family show (Full House) that manages to be worse than the original.
61. Flaked
Dull vanity project from Will Arnett, which is as boring as listening to someone drone on about their self-help routines.
60. The Ranch
A semi-pro footballer comes home to help out on the family ranch, which we're sure is fine if you care about either of those things – sadly, we don't.
59. Friends From College
Squandering a fantastic cast by lumbering them with deeply unlikeable characters, 8-part comedy Friends From College is an awkward and disappointing misfire despite its star wattage.
58. Lady Dynamite
Sitcom following stand-up comedian / actor Maria Bamford (playing herself) as she moves back to Los Angeles after spending six months away in recovery for a mental health disorder. Surreal, weird and not especially fun.
57. Trailer Park Boys - Out of the Park: USA
Using the same premise as the previous Out of the Park series, this spin-off is able to capture a little of the old humour in a new setting for long-time fans, as Bubbles, Julian and Ricky head south of the Canadian border for some outrageous American adventures.
56. Trailer Park Boys - Out Of The Park: Europe
Another one strictly for hardcore fans, this spin-off - landing on Netflix six years after the final episode of the original aired - has its moments but offers little to newcomers not familiar with the exploits of the Trailer Park Boys.
55. Cooked
The history of cooking from acclaimed food writer Michael Pollan. Competent enough, but it's not exactly the best thing since sliced bread.
54. Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later
Perhaps the weakest instalment yet - another outing to camp would be one too many - but there's still the same daft laughs on offer for dedicated Wet Hot American Summer fans, albeit in shorter supply than previously.
53. One Day at a Time
Sitcom following three generations of the same Cuban-American family living in the same house, which explores somber subjects such as sexism and PTSD in amongst the gags. Not a huge hit, but it's got a loyal fanbase.
52. Chelsea Does
Documentary series in which Chelsea Handler investigates different topics. Fine, but it's not exactly Louis Theroux.
51. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
Strictly for fans of the original 2001 movie, but if you're part of Wet Hot American Summer's cult following then you'll find more of the same goofy humour on offer in spades.
