Now back for its fifth season, Rick and Morty continues to stun with its insanely clever and endlessly hilarious takes on science fiction concepts. Playing like a hilariously twisted version of Back to the Future, Rick and Morty follows a whiny high schooler and his alcoholic scientist grandfather
as they set out on crazy adventures across the Universe. From Dan Harmon, creator of Community, and Justin Roiland, who voices both the titular characters, Rick and Morty never ceases to come up with mind-blowing stories to tell. This isn't just the best animated sci-fi comedy since Futurama it's even better. So, grab your Plumbus and strap in, because all-new episodes
from the show's fifth season are now in the process of teleporting onto Netflix Australia!
Be warned : despite its appearance, Rick and Morty is not a show for children! In fact, season 5 has considerably upped the ante when it comes to uncensored f-bombs and other adults only material.
Details: 5 seasons, 10 episodes per season, 22 minutes per episode Sweet Tooth
Netflix's latest comic book adaptation couldn't have less to do with superheroes. This post-apocalyptic fantasy series is about a half-human, half-deer boy who travels across the ruined world with a hardened protector searching for a new life amid the ruins of America.
If you're in the mood for something that just about counts as warm family viewing but has an edge, don't miss Sweet Tooth. If you enjoy it, check out Jeff Lemire's wonderful comics that the show is based on afterwards.
Details: 1 season, 8 episodes per season, 40-54 minutes per episode Love, Death & Robots
From the twisted minds of David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) and Tim Miller (Deadpool) comes Love, Death & Robots a violence and sex-filled animated anthology series that's strictly for adults. For years, the two visionaries attempted to bring a new adaptation of the classic Heavy Metal comics to screens, only to eventually leave the project behind due to lack of interest from all the major studios.
Now, the project has been resuscitated in a new form thanks to Netflix, allowing the filmmakers to produce a series of self-contained short films, many of which are adapted from classic sci-fi and fantasy stories from
authors such as Peter F. Hamilton, Alastair Reynolds, John Scalzi and more.
If you're into genre fiction involving robots, monsters and heady sci-fi themes, you're going to adore Love, Death & Robots.
Details: 2 volumes, 26 episodes in total, 6-18 minutes per episode Halston
Ewan McGregor stars in the latest big show from Netflix mega-producer Ryan Murphy. This biographical miniseries focuses on women's fashion designer Halston, documenting his various ups and downs over the years starting with his breakthrough in designing hats worn by Jackie Kennedy in the '60s, to his '70s explosion in popularity as a fashion pioneer, to his later troubles to stay in business.
McGregor has a lot of fun as the titular figure, giving us a great cross-section of his life as an artist and businessman, of his personal
issues and professional triumphs. Even though it's otherwise pretty familiar-feeling as biographical projects go, it's very well-produced, and is something you'll likely enjoy if you're a fan of expensive period shows like Mad Men and it lands on the classier side of Murphy's recent work.
Details: 1 season, 5 episodes per season, 44-53 minutes per episode Shadow and Bone
Netflix has enjoyed plenty of success with its fantasy TV offerings in recent times. Shadow and Bone, then, had plenty to live up to in a genre that also contains The Witcher, but it more than holds its own with an adventurous and twisting plot, investable characters and lots of drama.
It can take a couple of episodes to get into Shadow and Bone, and there could have been a bit more in the way of action. Once you're invested in its story and characters, though, Shadow and Bone is a world you can easily get lost in
and one you'll want to. Fingers crossed Netflix makes a Shadow and Bone season 2 .
Details: 1 season, 8 episodes per season, 45-54 minutes per episode The Irregulars
If you're expecting a classic Sherlock Holmes retelling from this Netflix series: don't. For one, the iconic British detective (Henry Lloyd-Hughes) and his faithful companion Dr. Watson (Royce Pierreson) are supporting characters to the titular gang, and it's a lot more fantastical and occult-based than previous Sherlock movie or TV adaptations.
That said, it has an interesting premise. Set in Victorian London, The Irregulars follows a gang of street kids led by the matriarchal Bea (Thaddea Graham) who are hired by Watson at Holmes' supposed behest. Tasked with solving crimes with a supernatural twist on them, the group become embroiled in a plot that threatens the very existence of their world.
The cast are excellent and it's certainly intriguing to see a Sherlock TV
show that dabbles in the mystical arts. If you're after a new fantasy series to binge, this should be your go-to choice.
Details: 1 season, 8 episodes per season, 49-58 minutes per episode Bridgerton
Take Pride and Prejudice and add 50 Shades of Grey and you probably have a good idea of what to expect from Bridgerton, an alt-history period drama that's about as sexed up as the come.
Based on the best-selling book series by Julia Quinn, this TV adaptation follows the powerful Bridgerton family as it explores power, wealth and lust in an aristocratic society. Best described as a guilty pleasure, Bridgerton
is disarmingly compelling.
Details: 1 season, 8 episodes per season, 57-72 minutes per episode Lupin
In this fantastic new take on the adventures of gentleman-thief Arsne Lupin
by French author Maurice Leblanc, Omar Sy (The Intouchables, X-Men Days of Future Past) plays Assane Diop, a man whose father is framed for the theft of a priceless diamond necklace by a wealthy business man.
Soon after, Assane's father hangs himself in his cell, which sets him off on
a quest for revenge inspired by the Arsne Lupin novel his father gave him as
a child. Already the most popular French Netflix series of all-time, Lupin is a wonderful show that's surprisingly family-friendly given its subject
matter.
Now back for its second season, Netflix's Lupin has proven itself a loving
and inspired take on the beloved Arsne Lupin stories.
Details: 2 season, 5 episodes per season, 42-52 minutes per episode Cobra
Kai
Once a YouTube original, Cobra Kai is now back for its first Netflix-produced season. Set 34 years after Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) was defeated by Danny LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), the former reopens the Cobra Kai dojo once
more to teach a new generation of kids how to fight.
This not only sparks Johnny and Danny's old rivalry, but also a new one between the young students at their respective dojos.If you love the original films, this show is a lot of fun, and both its leads are in surprisingly
great condition considering they're each performing fight stunts in their fifties. Now back for its third season, Cobra Kai is diving deeper into The Karate Kid's history with a number of surprise cameos.
Details: 3 seasons, 10 episodes per season, 23-37 minutes per episode The Queen's Gambit
This seven-episode miniseries is the latest great Netflix show and while the subject of chess might not sound exciting, The Queen's Gambit manages to
weave it together with a tale of self-actualization, romance and drug abuse.
Anya Taylor-Joy (The VVitch, Split) stars as Beth Harmon, an orphan trained
to play chess by a talented janitor, before she challenges the very male-dominated chess scene with her skills.
Essentially, her talents land her a slightly better life, but not without a price.Exciting even if you don't know chess from checkers, The Queen's Gambit is an instant Netflix classic.

Then you need the best Netflix VPN Schitt's Creek
Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek has caused an upset at the 2020 Emmy Awards by beating the likes of The Good Place and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel to the Outstanding Comedy Series award. And why not? Eugene and Dan Levy's sitcom about a rich family forced to move to a town they once purchased as a joke is both hilarious and heartwarming and has slowly gained a big following
through its presence on Netflix. Netflix has now added the sixth and final season of the series, and it really is one of the best Netflix shows.
Details: 6 seasons, 10 episodes per season, 21 minutes per episode The End
of the F***ing World (Image credit: Netflix)
This darkly funny British series feels like a cross between Thelma and Louise and True Romance, with its two young protagonists on the lam after running away from home and accidentally killing someone. James (Alex Lawther) is a prospective teenage psychopath looking for his first person to kill. Enter Alyssa (Jessica Barden), a girl from his class who wants out of her horrible home life. With the two now a couple and on the run, will James satisfy his bloodlust by killing his new girlfriend? Or will she warm his black heart?
The first season ended on a huge cliffhanger that left everything up in the air - particularly the fate of one of the show's main characters. With season two, we definitely hope to see that person return, or else we riot! Pitch-black in its humour and surprisingly sweet, The End of the F***ing
World is one for those who like their entertainment with an edge.
Details: 2 seasons, 8 episodes per season, 25 minutes per episode Sex Education (Image credit: Netflix)
Meek teenager Otis Milburn (Asa Butterfield) can't catch a break at school, with kids constantly teasing him about his mother (Gillian Anderson) and her profession as a sex therapist. Of course, teens are more vulnerable and inexperienced than most when it comes to sexual matters, so when Otis inadvertently deals out some of the useful advice he'd overheard from his mother to a sexually-frustrated bully, he soon garners an unwanted reputation as the school's unofficial sex therapist. Sensing a potential to make money, Maeve (Emma Mackey) teams up with Otis to help find paying customers amongst their classmates. Now back for season 2, Netflix's Sex Education is a frank and funny series that never shies away from embarrassing truths.
Details: 2 seasons, 8 episodes per season, 47-52 minutes per episode Dead to Me (Image credit: Netflix)
In Netflix's pitch black comedy Dead to Me, Christina Applegate (Anchorman, Married... with Children) plays Jen, a recently widowed woman who sets out to find the truth about her husband's death by hit and run. Of course, Jen has her own way of grieving and the outpouring of sympathy from those around her to be utterly insufferable. However, by a twist of fate, Jen starts to loosen up when she meets and befriends Judy (Linda Cardellini), a free-spirited
woman who also lost someone. A dark and acerbic comedy from the makers of 2 Broke Girls and Hot in Cleveland, Dead to Me may not be everyone's cup of
tea, but it is destined to find a devoted audience who are willing to go to some uncomfortable places.
Details: 1 season, 10 episodes per season, 30 minutes per episode GLOW
(Image credit: Netflix)
From the makers of Orange is the New Black comes GLOW, a show based on a real-life all-women wrestling league that existed in the '80s. Why's it
called GLOW? It stands for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, that's why! The show stars Alison Brie (Community) as an aspiring actress who auditions for the wrestling gig after being fed up with the lack of meaty female roles in Hollywood. Here, she can be a fierce warrior, one who is in charge of her own destiny and gets to play opposite other strong women. Like Orange is the New Black, GLOW is a show that masterfully balances comedy and drama. In its
third season, we follow the ladies as the show moves to Las Vegas for live performances, leading to a new set of problems for everyone involved.
Details: 3 seasons, 8 episodes per season, 30 minutes per episode Dead to Me (Image credit: Netflix)
In Netflix's pitch black comedy Dead to Me, Christina Applegate (Anchorman, Married... with Children) plays Jen, a recently widowed woman who sets out to find the truth about her husband's death by hit and run. Of course, Jen has her own way of grieving and the outpouring of sympathy from those around her to be utterly insufferable.

tea, but it is destined to find a devoted audience who are willing to go to some uncomfortable places.
Details: 1 season, 10 episodes per season, 30 minutes per episode Russian Doll (Image credit: Netflix)
With its Groundhog Day-esque premise, Russian Doll sees Nadia (Natasha
Lyonne) forced to relive her 36th birthday party over and over again. Though she's killed repeatedly, there's seemingly no end in sight for Nadia's inescapable night, leading her to question her own sanity as she tries to
find a way out. Funny and fast-paced, Russian Doll is ideal for viewers looking for something short and sweet to watch, with each episode leaving you wanting more.
Details: 1 season, 8 episodes per season, 25 minutes per episode Lucifer (Image credit: Netflix)
Unceremoniously cancelled on broadcast television, the devilishly-funny
series Lucifer has found a new home on Netflix where it's received a brand
new fourth season! From mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Top Gun, Armageddon, Pirates of the Caribbean) and based on the Vertigo comic of the same name
(the comic series was a spin-off of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman), the series follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) as he abandons Hell to open a nightclub in Los Angeles and work as a consultant for the LAPD. If you
haven't watched Lucifer before, fear not the first three seasons are also available to stream on Netflix.
Details: 4 seasons, 13 episodes per season, 43 minutes per episode BoJack Horseman
The best way to approach BoJack Horseman is to let it slowly grow on you. Chances are you won't be blown away by it from the first episode, but once
you get hip to its rhythm, you'll likely find it to be one of the best animated comedy shows since Bob's Burgers (only with a lot more depth). Will Arnett voices BoJack, a washed-up '90s sitcom star who spends his days being bitter about his failures alongside his perpetual houseguest, Todd (Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul). Things get complicated when his cat girlfriend and agent Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris) hires ghost writer Diane (Alison Brie) to pen BoJack's memoir. Filled with hilarious characters that could only exist in drawing-form, BoJack Horseman is a real winner. Now back for its fifth
season, BoJack finds himself leading a terrible new cop show for a television channel that shouldn't exist. Meanwhile, Diane finds herself on a spiritual journey after her break up with Mr. Peanutbutter.
Details: 5 seasons, 12 episodes per season, 25 minutes per episode Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Credit: Netflix
Someone escaping from a Domesday cult shouldn't be a recipe for comedy but Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt manages to squeeze the funny out of this premise. Created by Tina Fey and starring Ellie Kemper as the title character, the
show sparkles with wit and lands on the right side of kooky. Best of all, the first half of the show's 4th (and unfortunately final) season has just landed and is fizzing with the same energy of the three seasons (we especially love the 'Making a Murderer' parody episode). If you're a fan of shows like Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, you're pretty much guaranteed to love Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Seasons on Netflix: 4 Santa Clarita Diet Credit: Netflix
Like a cross between Modern Family and The Walking Dead (with a spattering of Dexter thrown in for good measure), Santa Clarita Diet is a hilariously gory Netflix Original series that sees suburban mum Sheila (Drew Barrymore) suddenly acquire an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Though shocked at first, Sheila's loyal husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and daughter Abby (Liv Hewson) are determined to keep this family together, even if it means
covering up a number of murders...
Seasons on Netflix: 2 The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale Credit: Netflix
Rising to prominence with the hilarious clip show The Soup before hitting it big as an actor on Community, Joel McHale has returned to the green screen once again to offer his unique brand of biting, sarcastic commentary on the ridiculous world of reality television. Featuring plenty of celebrity guest stars and more one liners than any reasonable person could possibly keep
track of, The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale is the perfect way to cap off the week. Originally presented as a weekly series (unusual for a proper Netflix Original), The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale is returning shortly with a whole batch of binge-worthy episodes. We can't wait!
Seasons on Netflix: 2 Everything Sucks! Credit: Netflix
Don't be put off by its twee trailers and the 1990s nostalgia-bait that lies therein Everything Sucks! is actually a very endearing series that follows a group of young high schoolers (and their parents) as they struggle with new found feelings of love. It's the first day of high school for Luke (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) and his geeky friends, and the boys immediately meet Kate (Peyton Kennedy), the principal's daughter, in AV Club. Luke falls for her right away, but there's one problem Kate is starting to realise that she actually likes girls. Meanwhile, Kate's widower dad (Patch Darragh) and
Luke's single mother (Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako) have started a secret relationship, and it's only a matter of time before everything blows up in their faces. Funny and surprisingly heartfelt, Everything Sucks! is much more than a '90s-set Freaks and Geeks clone.
Seasons on Netflix: 1 The Good Place Credit: Netflix
A hilarious and refreshing comedy series, The Good Place sees Eleanor
(Kristen Bell) arrive in a Heaven-like afterlife only to be greeted by
Michael (Ted Danson), architect of what is known as 'The Good Place'. This beautiful neighbourhood is meant to be a reward for living an upstanding
life. The problem is, she totally doesn't belong there, and now Eleanor must hide her wrongdoings, lest she be sent to The Bad Place instead. Witty and full of terrific one-liners, The Good Place is a delightful show with some unexpected twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
Seasons on Netflix: 2 Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp Credit: Netflix
Reviled on initial release and then rediscovered as a cult classic, the 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer is the kind of satirical comedy that leaves most people scratching their heads. Those in the know, however, see it as an absolutely pitch-perfect, gobsmackingly hilarious spoof of the summer camp movies of the late '70s and early '80s. Many of the actors in the original film went on to become huge stars (Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler),
so it should be considered a minor miracle that all of these people were wrangled back almost 15 years later to star in a prequel series for Netflix. If you haven't seen the original movie, you might want to stream it on
Netflix before watching the show, but if you have seen it and love it like we do, you'll be over the moon with Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.

Netflix
If you've seen and are a fan of David Wain and Michael Showalter's hilarious film Wet Hot American Summer (WHAS), then you've surely watched its Netflix Original prequel series, WHAS: First Day of Camp (also on our list of the
best shows on Netflix Australia). Hilariously taking place during the same summer of 1981 (despite a cast that's obviously aged by 15 years), the series hit every comedic note that made the film a cult favourite. Now, a sequel series has been made that sees our beloved characters return to Camp Firewood ten years after the events of the film and first series. Set in 1991, the
show gets a lot of comedic mileage out of its new era, and sees most of its original cast return in some form or another (Bradley Cooper is unfortunately absent, though Adam Scott does a good job of filling his shoes). If you've ever wondered what these ridiculous characters might be like as adults, this is a series you must watch.
Seasons on Netflix: 1 Mystery Science Theater 3000 Credit: Netflix
Ever spent an evening with friends watching bad movies and cracking jokes at their expense? If that's you, you're going to love Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). Based on a flimsy premise involving a scientific experiment by Gizmonic Institute, the show's lovably homemade sci-fi angle is just an
excuse to have comedian Jonah Ray hang out with a bunch of wise-cracking robots named Gypsy, Tom Servo and Crow as they relentlessly mock utterly terrible movies. The new Netflix version is actually a remake of an American cult favourite from the '80s and '90s and each episode will actually give you an entire movie to cringe and laugh through. A second season has now arrived on the service, dubbed The Gauntlet, which challenges viewers to sit through six more terrible movies in one sitting! Charming, funny and endlessly entertaining, MST3K is bound to capture a whole new generation of fans.
Seasons on Netflix: 2 Brooklyn Nine-Nine Credit: NBC
One of the funniest shows to hit TV in years, Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars Andy Samberg as an immature goofball who also happens to also be a brilliant NYPD detective. The show revolves around the many cases (and shenanigans) that Samberg and his equally hilarious co-stars get wrapped up in under the watchful eye of their stern Captain. Quick-witted and full of heart, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a new comedy classic.
Seasons on Netflix: 4 Master of None Credit: Netflix
One of the freshest and most enjoyable shows Netflix has put out to date, the semi-autobiographical Master of None sees comedian Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation) play Dev, a character much like himself who is trying to navigate his family, friends, acting career and love life in New York City. Hilarious and thoughtful, Master of None gives Dev the opportunity to reflect on difficult subjects like like racism and misogyny in a way that's warm, funny and eye-opening no easy feat! Master of None also has an amazing soundtrack, and some wonderful supporting turns from Nol Wells, Eric Wareheim, Kelvin Yu and Ansari's own scene-stealing parents, Shoukath and Fatima.
Seasons available on Netflix: 2 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Credit: NBC
Before he was a global superstar, Will Smith was the frontman for the late '80s/early '90s hip hop duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. With a winning sense of personality and infectious hits like 'Parents Just Don't
Understand', Smith took his performing talents and turned to acting by starring in the family sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Playing a fictionalised version of himself, Smith moves in with his stuffy high society Aunt and Uncle's family in the posh suburb of Bel-Air. Before long, his crazy persona turns the entire family's dynamic on its head, bringing a sense of much needed humour into their lives. A classic series with one of the best
and most memorable theme songs of all time, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is as fresh and funny now as it was 20-odd years ago. Now, sing it with us: "In
West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most
of my days..."
Seasons on Netflix: 6 Murder Among the Mormons
Netflix's wave of true crime content continues with Murder Among the Mormons, a three-part documentary series which offers a deep dive into a shocking
crime that took place in the Mormon community during the 1980s.
The series lifts the lid on a trio of bombings in 1985 which rocked Salt Lake City and resulted in multiple deaths. Things start to come together when a number of Mormon letters and diaries are found destroyed in the vehicle of
the third victim, including portions of an infamous letter with the capacity to "shake the very foundations of Mormonism."
Details: 1 season, 3 episodes per season, 45-58 minutes per episode Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer
In the mid-1980s, a serial killer stalked the city of Los Angeles, routinely breaking into people's homes to rape, kill or abduct them in the middle of
the night. Victims appeared to be chosen at random, and the nature of each crime varied with each incident. Before long, the media dubbed this monster the Night Stalker, and it would take a team of dedicated detectives to bring him down.
In this four-part documentary series, we hear directly from the people involved in the case, along with some of the victims who survived. True crime junkies will lap this series up, even if it is a little too slickly produced for a show about a horrific spree of murders.
Details: 1 season, 4 episodes per season, 48 minutes per episode The Ripper
In the late '70s and early '80s, Northern England was held in a vice or fear by a new serial killer whose methods brought back memories of the famous Jack the Ripper killings of the late 1880s.
Dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper, this killer targeted vulnerable women in the working class city of Leeds, with occasional trips to nearby Manchester. Disturbingly, the killer went uncaught for several years due to a severe mishandling of the case by authorities who put all their chips on a fake
voice recording, along with a misguided belief that only prostitutes were being targeted.
Despite being strongly upsetting, this four-part series is an excellently crafted piece of true crime filmmaking that explores how systemic sexism helped prolong a killer's murder spree.
Details: 1 season, 4 episodes per season, 60 minutes per episode Unsolved Mysteries
A reboot of the classic 80s/90s series of the same name, Netflix's version of Unsolved Mysteries has received a modern day makeover to bring it stylistically in line with the likes of Making a Murderer. For those not familiar with the show, Unsolved Mysteries presents a series of real-life
cold cases which have left authorities baffled in the hopes that someone watching may have information that will help bring the truth to light. Now back for its second volume, the Netflix's series has presented six more cases which are not only heartbreaking, but truly unusual. Bizarre and unnerving, the new Unsolved Mysteries may become a new obsession for true crime-junkies. Oh, and the classic theme music has returned, also, which should delight fans of the old series.
Details: 2 seasons, 6 episodes per season, 37-52 minutes per episode The
Last Dance
Missing sports at the moment? Well, Netflix's new sports documentary series The Last Dance should offer some respite from the monotony of a sports-free world. In this candid 10-part weekly series, you'll get to witness never-before-seen footage chronicling Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the most pivotal season in its history, namely the 1997-98 NBA season which saw the greatest team lineup in basketball history come to an end. You'll also get an inside-look at the tensions within the dynasty that caused the team's management to clash with its players and head coach, eventually leading to the end of an era. Not just for basketball fans, The Last Dance is a must-watch for anyone who's ever been invested in a sports team.
Details: 1 season, 10 episodes per season, 50 minutes per episode Tiger King (Image credit: Netflix)
The latest documentary series on Netflix to make you ask, "how is this
real?", Tiger King takes you behind the scenes of big cat tourism in the United States, and it's eye-opening to say the least. At the centre of all this is Joe Exotic a gun-toting, gay polygamist country singer and aspiring politician who runs a roadside zoo showcasing hundreds of tigers, lions and other big cats. Things take a dark turn when a war breaks out between Joe and Carole Baskin, a so-called animal rights activist and big cat sanctuary owner who may have had a hand in her millionaire husband's disappearance and presumed death. What starts as a documentary about an eccentric with a lot of big cats in cages and a hunger for fame quickly escalates into darker and
more serious territory involving cult leaders, drugs and murder-for-hire. A story that almost seems too crazy to be true, Tiger King is bound to be your next reality obsession.
Details: 1 season, 7 episodes per season, 41-48 minutes per episode Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich
In this four-part docuseries, survivors of the billionaire convicted
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein come forward to tell their stories. Exposing a disgusting international sex trafficking operation with ties to the highest levels of society, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich is a harrowing and
emotionally devastating true story, but one that absolutely needs to be
heard.
Details: 1 season, 4 episodes per season, 60 minutes per episode Floor is Lava (Image credit: Netflix)
A game show concept that is as silly as it sounds, Floor is Lava takes the classic childhood activity of navigating your living room without touching
the ground and throws a Netflix budget behind it. With elaborate themed rooms and pulsing red ooze to avoid, contestants must navigate a series of slippery obstacles in order to reach a goal area. In each episode, three teams compete against each other for the chance to win $10,000. The team with the most members who make it to the end (or with the fastest completion time) take
