Why every subscriber should watch these 10 Netflix original shows at least once

Animation With Ambition

Castlevania follows monster hunter Trevor Belmont, Speaker magician Sypha Belnades and Dracula’s son Alucard as they battle Dracula and threats to humanity. Richard Armitage, Alejandra Reynoso and James Callis voice the central characters.

The series combines violent action, magic, monsters and profane humor. Its mature, serialized approach helped establish space on Netflix for Western adult animation influenced by anime, while adapting a video game into a cinematic story.

Love And Injustice

Heartstopper centers on Charlie Spring, a quiet schoolboy who develops feelings for Nick Nelson, a popular rugby player. The two meet after being seated together at school, and Charlie initially doubts the crush can lead anywhere.

Stories That Shaped Netflix

When They See Us is a limited series about the human cost of injustice. Its account of the case also asks viewers to consider how institutional assumptions can have life-altering consequences.

Orange Is the New Black follows Piper Chapman as she enters federal prison and finds that her established adult identity has not prepared her for incarceration. The series became an early Netflix hit, combining drama, comedy, social commentary and prison stories. Sense8 is also named among the platform’s standout originals, though the supplied account gives no further details about its story.
