7 Netflix Shows Where Every Episode Is a Masterpiece

Published

on

Content Warning: The following list contains brief mentions of domestic violence and abuse.It is truly a rarity to find a television show in which every single episode is made to perfection. Even some of TV’s greatest shows of all time have a couple of episodes that will make you ask “why did they even air that?” So, taking on the task of finding the Netflix shows in which every episode is perfect was no easy task. It relied on a lot of research, from scouring Reddit boards to relying on our own TV knowledge. It took time, but we managed to craft a list of shows with nary a bad episode.

Whether it’s a limited series that never overstayed its welcome, or a sprawling comedy drama that has a gripping hold on throughout its entire run, these Netflix shows have done the seemingly impossible: produce an entire series in which every episode is a masterpiece. You don’t believe us? That’s OK, as once you reach the end of this story, you’ll come to the same conclusion that we did: these Netflix shows represent the pinnacle of the streaming service’s storytelling.

‘The Haunting of Hill House’ (2018)

In 2018, Netflix viewers were invited into a creepy manor with all sorts of supernatural unease. The Haunting of Hill House, created by Mike Flanagan, kickstarted the service’s Haunting anthology, and it started on a very strong note. The miniseries takes place over two timelines, one from 1992 and another in the present day, with the central figure being Hill House, a large, eerie mansion that haunts the Crain family.

While the series certainly has its terrifying moments, The Haunting of Hill House is a lot more than a regular show about a haunted house. Flanagan takes the trope and goes deeper with it, making it more of a character-driven family drama with some truly emotional moments. It uses Hill House to expose the emotional trauma that the Crain family struggles to cope with. The ghosts in the series aren’t just to make the viewer jump out of their seats, but they’re used as metaphors for grief, regret and mental illness. With complex characters and production that is as close to perfect as one could get, each episode of The Haunting of Hill House builds to a finale that lands the story perfectly. While every series in Flanagan’s Haunting anthology was top-notch, The Haunting of Hill House is, by all intentions of the word, a masterclass in how to tell a haunted house story.

‘The Queen’s Gambit’ (2020)

On the surface, The Queen’s Gambit is a miniseries that never should have worked. Besides, the main premise of the show revolves around a chess player, and who would want to watch a show based on someone playing one of the most boring games on Earth? Well, if you think this way, you’re missing out on one of the best Netflix miniseries ever created. The coming-of-age period drama created by Scott Frank and Allan Scott follows the life of Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), a chess prodigy who becomes one of the best players in the world. But, beneath the surface, Harmon struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, and she has to battle these demons while preparing for a major chess tournament in Moscow.

Every episode of The Queen’s Gambit was terrific, and this was due to the impeccable pacing and structure of the series. Watching it all the way, you’ll get the feeling that you’re watching a seven-hour movie with a very clear, resonant ending. Because the creators and writers knew where to go with the story, and how to end it, there were essentially no filler episodes within the series, which makes the entire show such a satisfying watch. Add in the mesmerizing performance of Taylor-Joy, and you have a miniseries that should not be slept on.

‘When They See Us’ (2019)

In 1989, five Black and Latino teens were falsely accused of assaulting a white woman in Central Park. Known as the Central Park Five, their conviction was vacated in 2002, and they were awarded a settlement from the city of New York in 2014 after suing the city for wrongful conviction. The plight of the Central Park Five ignited tough conversations around racial bias, media sensationalism, and the criminalization of people of color, especially after the release of the 2019 miniseries When They See Us.

Created by Ava DuVernay, the miniseries tells the story of the Central Park Five and their wrongful conviction through the experiences of the victims, which forced the viewers to look at the wrongfully accused not as a group of kids, but as individuals who were worthy of justice and empathy from viewers. Each episode will take viewers through a range of emotions, from anger to sadness, and, in the end, tempered redemption for the five kids who were essentially railroaded by the judicial system. When They See Us was a significant achievement on television, daring to question how racial bias and the media also play a part in painting the narrative that people of color are criminals, along with a justice system all-to-eager to accept that narrative. When They See Us is more than the perfect Netflix show, it is basically essential viewing.

‘Maid’ (2021)

One of the best attributes about Netflix original series is its ability to tell serious stories in an unfiltered and honest way. We saw this in 2019 with the brilliant When They See Us, and again two years later, with Netflix premiering Maid, created by Molly Smith Metzler and inspired by the 2019 novel of the same name written by Stephanie Land. The miniseries followers Alexandra “Alex” Russell (Margaret Qualley), a young mom who leaves her abusive boyfriend and takes a job working as a maid.

We’re going to be honest here. Maid can be a hard watch at times, especially the way it honestly portrays domestic abuse, which isn’t always physical, and it answers the long-complex question of why victims struggle to leave their abusers. Not only that, but Maid also highlights “invisible” poverty, the people who struggle to stay afloat, and how just one minor setback can cause someone to lose everything. To tell its gut-wrenching story, Maid uses innovative storytelling to describe Alex’s plight, which lets us see things from her inner perspective. While Maid is a tough watch at times, it’s also a show that is a masterpiece at telling complex, difficult stories.

The Academy Has Decided
Your Perfect Film Is…

Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.

Advertisement

Parasite

You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.

Advertisement

Everything Everywhere All at Once

You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.

Advertisement

Oppenheimer

You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.

Advertisement

Birdman

You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.

Advertisement

No Country for Old Men

You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.

‘Beef’ (2023–Present)

We all see comedy as a pressure relief from the arduous daily task of life, and it was used brilliantly in the 2023 anthology series Beef. Created by Lee Sung Jin, Beef follows two people who begin to feud after a road rage incident. While this is a simple black comedy on the surface, it’s what lies beneath the comedy that makes Beef a gold-standard when it comes to the perfect Netflix show.

The best aspect to Beef is its tight storytelling, with each of the series’ 10 episodes packed with character arcs that have a significant impact on the overall storyline. Even the minor characters in each episode play a part in the overall feud between Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong), with each episode escalating the feud and showing how it quickly spirals out of control.

The writers use the feud between Danny and Amy to masterfully showcase the Asian-American experience, exploring issues such as class status, immigration, and family expectations, and they did this without casting a monolithic net over the race. This makes the audience understand the pressures Amy and Danny are going through, and also helps to understand why a simple road rage incident spiraled downhill so quickly. It’s a show that tackles existential emptiness when compounded with the pressures of material success, and how it contributes to the overwhelming rage that we feel in society today. They do all of this without sacrificing the comedy, a chef’s kiss to a brilliant series.

‘Dark’ (2017–2020)

A great story arc commands you to pay attention to each element in each episode. Each show that we’ve discussed so far in this piece has been a miniseries, where it can be easy to accomplish in just a 10-episode run. But, here’s a show that manages to not have a single filler episode over a three-season span. We’re talking, of course, about Dark, one of the best series not just in Netflix history, but in TV history as a whole, and we’re very serious about this claim.

Created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, Dark follows four families as they search for what happened to a kid who disappeared from a small German town, only to discover something truly sinister has been happening in the town over generations. To be honest, the storyline of Dark could have easily been condensed into a single miniseries, but by fleshing the story out over three seasons, it allowed it to be expanded and avoid the plotholes that could have befallen it if it was made as just a miniseries. The story of Dark is very complex, but the writers flawlessly executed the story. They knew how the story would be told and how it would end, and they didn’t deviate from this plan, and the end result is a masterpiece of epic proportions. The moody atmosphere, the exceptional acting, and a complex story that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat throughout its run? What more could you ask for?

‘Arcane’ (2021–2024)

When discussing the best Netflix shows in which every episode is absolutely perfect, you can’t have that conversation and leave Arcane off the list. Created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, the animated steampunk sci-fi is, arguably, one of the most jaw-dropping achievements in modern animation. Much like Dark, the story of Arcane is more complex than what the synopsis says it’s about. On the surface, it’s a story about two sisters who get tangled in a conflict between the poor underbelly of Zaun and the more prosperous city of Piltover. If you go off of the synopsis of the series, you’ll think Arcane is a straight-forward show, but it’s much, much deeper than that, and that’s what makes it such a compelling show.

The main reason why Arcane is such a perfect show is the way it tells its story. Rather than “telling” the story through its characters, it shows you how everything unfolds, using stunning camera work, lighting, and an innovative pace to fully immerse the viewers into the world Arcane has created. Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without an animation style that is distinct and truly revolutionary, making each episode of Arcane feel more like a cinematic event than a typical Netflix show. That’s the beauty of the show as a whole, as it doesn’t feel like you’re watching a TV show; you’re basically watching a movie broken up into 18 episodes. Every episode in Arcane was simply perfection, and it would be a tough sell for another animated show to come close to what this series created.

A Word! Waka Flocka Returns To Social Media With Brief Message After Revealing He's Expecting His First Child

Waka Flocka returned to social media with a brief message hours after revealing that he’s expecting his first child.

Waka Flocka Returns To Social Media With Brief Message After Revealing He’s Expecting His First Child

On Sunday, May 31, Waka Flocka took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a brief message with his more than 1.6 million followers. Furthermore, the message arrived as he celebrated his 40th birthday and, hours earlier, revealed that he’s expecting his first child, a baby boy.

On X, Waka seemingly signified his headspace, writing, “Put God before 1st no questions asked.”

To note, on Instagram, Waka also paid tribute to his late little brother, Kayo.

More On Waka Flocka Revealing He’s Expecting His First Child

As The Shade Room previously reported, hours earlier, Waka Flocka shared his major life update with a post on Instagram. Specifically, Waka shared a wooden cutout of the letter “J.” Additionally, the wood cutout had the name “Jaquin Jr.” featured on its base.

“Just waiting for you to come home Jr. Best gift a man could ever ask for 🤲🏽👨🏽‍🍼 I walked 40yrs on earth!!” he captioned the photo while celebrating his birthday.

Who Is The Rapper Having A Child With?

Waka Flocka did not disclose who he’s expecting his first child with, so at this time, that information remains unclear.  As The Shade Room previously reported, Waka Flocka was last publicly linked to a woman named Melanie. In January 2024, at the time, he took to Instagram to share a photo of himself alongside her while they were standing in front of a helicopter.

At the time, criticism of Mel prompted Charlie, Waka’s ex-wife’s daughter, to speak out and clear the air.

By March of that year, fans speculated that Melanie was throwing shade at Tammy, per The Shade Room.

At this time, it remains unclear how and if Waka and Mel’s romance progressed after these events.

James Gunn Reveals First Official Look at Lex Luthor in Man of Tomorrow : Coastal House Media

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Toy Leak May Have Revealed Hulk's Major Storyline : Coastal House Media

A newly leaked toy description for Spider-Man: Brand New Day may have revealed one of the film’s biggest story details, and it could spell trouble for both Peter Parker and Bruce Banner.

While Marvel and Sony have already confirmed that Mark Ruffalo will return as Bruce Banner in the upcoming Spider-Man sequel, new merchandise details suggest Hulk’s role may be far more significant than fans originally expected.

According to information tied to a leaked toy line, Banner is reportedly using a device designed to suppress his Hulk transformations. However, when the technology fails, the Savage Hulk emerges, forcing Spider-Man into a dangerous situation that could become one of the movie’s central conflicts.

Spoiler Warning:

The following details are based on leaked merchandise information and have not been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios.

According to the toy description, Bruce Banner’s attempt to control the Hulk goes horribly wrong when the device preventing his transformation fails. The leak suggests that Peter Parker finds himself dealing with the aftermath as the Savage Hulk returns.

If accurate, the storyline would mark the first major appearance of the classic Savage Hulk persona in years. Since Avengers: Endgame, audiences have primarily seen Smart Hulk, the version of Banner who successfully merged his intelligence with Hulk’s immense strength.

*Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Hulk figurine. Image credit: Bandai/Marvel.*

The leak could also explain why Hulk appears to have such a prominent presence in early marketing and reports surrounding the film despite Brand New Day being described as a more grounded Spider-Man story.

For Marvel fans, the possibility of Spider-Man facing Savage Hulk is an exciting prospect. While the two heroes have crossed paths in comics, the MCU has never fully explored a conflict between Peter Parker and an uncontrolled Hulk. Such a matchup would instantly become one of the biggest action sequences in any Spider-Man film.

Advertisement

Of course, fans should take the leak with a grain of salt. Toy descriptions are often based on early story drafts, simplified plot summaries, or marketing material that doesn’t always reflect the final movie.

Still, merchandise leaks have a long history of revealing legitimate details about major superhero films, making this one difficult to ignore.

Whether the leak proves entirely accurate or not, one thing appears certain: Hulk’s role in Spider-Man: Brand New Daymay be much larger than anyone expected.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.

John Carpenter’s Sci-Fi Classic Is Officially Getting a Zack Snyder Remake

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Although they weren’t all financial or critical successes at the time, John Carpenter‘s directorial output in the 1970s and 1980s is now considered one of the finest runs of any 20th century director. Unsurprisingly, they’ve also been fertile ground for prequels, remakes, and sequels, with films like Halloween, The Thing, and Assault on Precinct 13 providing grist for the mill in the 21st century. Now, Zack Snyder, who made his directorial debut with a remake of the George Romero horror classic Dawn of the Dead, will take on one of Carpenter’s crown jewels.

According to reports, Snyder is set to helm a remake of the 1981 science fiction actioner Escape From New York. Snyder most recently directed the Rebel Moon duology for Netflix. A remake of the film has been lingering in Development Hell for decades; Len Wiseman, Brett Ratner, and Robert Rodriguez were all signed on to direct the remake at various times; at one point, Gerard Butler had signed on to star. Most recently, Scream‘s Radio Silence were tapped for the remake, but they have since moved on to resurrect The Mummy for Universal.

Euphoria’s Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje on If Maddy, Alamo Had Sex

Published

Euphoria's Explicit Season 3 Scenes That Received Backlash

Euphoria left viewers with so many questions throughout season 3, including whether Maddy and Alamo actually had sex — which Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is finally addressing.

“It was an interesting scene because it’s so layered. It’s very loaded,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly at the MPTF NextGen Summer Party, which was presented by Delta Air Lines and Waymo, on Sunday, May 31.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje pointed out that his character, Alamo, “had orchestrated the whole sequence” between him and Maddy (Alexa Demie).

“From the bathing suit to the music to the champagne, he knew exactly what he was going to do,” he explained. “So myself and Yana Grebenyuk Sam [Levinson], we discussed that. And whilst it was going to be flirtatious from Alamo’s perspective — and playful — there’s an ominous reality that, you know, you’re going to do what I tell you to do now.”

Euphoria's Explicit Season 3 Scenes That Received Backlash


Related: Which of Euphoria’s Explicit Season 3 Scenes Received Offscreen Backlash?

Euphoria‘s long-awaited return has been met with major backlash due to numerous explicit — and controversial — scenes. The HBO series, which premiered in 2019, has always been known to push boundaries while following teenager Rue’s (Zendaya) attempt to remain sober after struggling with addiction. While the first two seasons were set in high school, […]

Akinnuoye-Agbaje continued: “To answer your question, did he sleep with her? Well, he was not there to play with her toes. For what she’s asking him to do — take out a life and give a million dollars — yeah, he most definitely did what he needed to do with that beautiful lady.”

The confusion originally started after a May episode of the hit HBO show had Alamo make Maddy put on a bathing suit and get in a hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate (Jacob Elordi), but the scene cut off before the rest of their interaction was shown.

In the season 3 finale, which aired on Sunday, Maddy visited Alamo at his strip club, where he contemplated his life choices. He also made a move on Maddie while proposing they have four kids together. Alamo started to touch Maddy — who got on his lap — before the scene cut out again amid an implied but unseen kiss.

Alamo’s conversation with Maddy didn’t last long, however, because Ali (Colman Domingo) arrived to avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

While speaking to Us at the annual fundraiser, Akinnuoye-Agbaje addressed possible backlash toward Alamo’s involvement in Rue’s fatal overdose.

Euphoria has caused a lot of confusion for viewers throughout the seasons — and now they are asking what exactly took place between Maddy and Alamo. Ahead of the season 3 finale, Maddy (Alexa Demie) had to ask Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) for money after Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) found out that Nate (Jacob Elordi) only had […]

“Look, it’s a voracious fan base. It’s really their show,” he said. “It preceded me. I’ve done my part. Whatever they say and do is their part, so that’s where I leave it.”

Akinnuoye-Agbaje then weighed in on the possibility of Euphoria continuing with more seasons — despite Levinson confirming the show is over.

“The beautiful thing about Euphoria is — first of all — this incredible performance that Zendaya has done. She narrates the show and we’ve seen it largely through her perspective,” he noted. “One of the beautiful things is that [her death] opens it up to the perspective of so many of the other characters. Whether they’re within Rue’s group and vicinity, you have Laurie’s gang and you have Alamo’s gang and you have Rue’s friends. There’s room to explore those backstories, those relationships and those adventures that they would have.”

He concluded: “This is TV. There’s always a world in which it could — if they wanted to — [they could explore the world more]. Whether they want to or not … I don’t know.”

Sam Levinson Praises Sydney Sweeney After Euphoria Finale

‘Euphoria’ Creator Sam Levinson Praises Sydney Sweeney for Explicit Scenes

Sydney Sweeney didn’t want to “skirt around” any nudity when it came to her Euphoria season 3 story line, according to the show’s creator, Sam Levinson.

“When I first wrote it … I thought, ‘Well, maybe, we shoot all of this, and we don’t have any nudity,’” Levinson, 41, said during the Monday, June 1, episode of The New York Times“Popcast” podcast. “I was talking to her about, maybe, there’s ways to shoot around certain [things] — and she looked at me, and she’s like, ‘Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model.’”

Levinson made it clear that he “always” has a discussion with actors about “what works best for the character.” Sweeney, 28, wasn’t afraid to take any risks.

“I think she’s a totally fearless actor. She’s also just wonderfully professional, and shows up just game every day,” he continued. “I adore working with her, because there’s such a flexibility in terms of the performance.”

Levinson said there’s “a lot of trust” between him and Sweeney.

“I can say, ‘Why don’t we try this scene just a little crazier, with a little more humor.’ Suddenly, this whole other version of the scene can come out just based on her performance,” he added. “We’re tackling this world of OnlyFans where women are being paid to whisper into an ear-shaped microphone and lick it. There is a level of absurdity to it that is just fun.”

While other story lines had a more definitive end during the Sunday, May 31, season finale, Sweeney’s was left open-ended with her final scene taking place alongside Maude Apatow. Cassie (Sweeney) was washing her sex toys while her sister, Lexi (Apatow), got emotional over Rue’s (Zendaya) death.

Sydney Sweeney has been candid about what goes into stripping down for nude scenes in Euphoria and other projects. After Euphoria premiered in 2019, Sweeney, who plays Cassie, opened up about the downsides of being naked on screen. “I don’t think as many people took me seriously in Euphoria because I took my shirt off,” […]

Ahead of Sunday’s episode, Sweeney took to Instagram with several behind-the-scenes photos from the show’s final season.

“It’s called… acting,” she captioned the post, which included a nearly nude photo. (Sweeney’s topless scenes received widespread criticism throughout the season.)

Levison previously addressed fan backlash to Sweeney’s NSFW story line during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in April.

“[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor,” he said at the time. “But what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.”

He added, “What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion. The gag is to jump out, to break the wall.”

Uneven Skin Tone? This Brightening Serum Improves Discoloration

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

Whether it be lingering post-acne marks, sun spots or pesky discoloration, an uneven skin tone can be surprisingly difficult to treat. That’s why Fig.1 Even Tone Serum is essential for getting to the root of the problem, helping address the issue at its source instead of relying on makeup to cover it up. Designed to target discoloration from multiple angles, the lightweight formula combines four dermatologist-loved brightening ingredients to help reveal a more radiant complexion over time.

At the heart of the Even Tone Serum is 4% niacinamide, a multitasking ingredient known for improving skin tone, strengthening the skin barrier, and minimizing the appearance of pores. It works alongside 3% tranexamic acid for stubborn discoloration and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Alpha-arbutin and azelaic acid are also superstars in the formula, helping refine texture. Together, these ingredients help visibly reduce the appearance of hard-to-treat dark spots and general unevenness.

Incorporating the Even Tone Serum into your routine is seamless. After cleansing, apply one to two pumps on dry skin before moisturizer. The texture layers nicely underneath other skincare products, making it suitable for both morning and evening use.

It also absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving behind a tacky film. Makeup lovers will appreciate that it doesn’t pill underneath products, a common complaint with some brightening treatments. Instead, skin feels hydrated and comfortable after application.

Plus, the Even Tone Serum iis suitable for all skin types — yes, sensitive skin included. Whether you lean dry, oily or combination, it feels comfortable without stinging, burning or feeling heavy. Because the formula focuses on brightening ingredients rather than aggressive exfoliants, it’s also a gentler option for anyone looking to address discoloration without compromising their skin barrier.
