r/netflix on Reddit: What are the 10 most important Netflix original TV shows in the history of the platform?
May 18, 2025 -
I'm not talking about "most watched." I can look that up easily enough, but it doesn't really answer the question. For example, Orange is the New Black is no longer in the Netflix top 10, but it would be hard to argue, in my opinion, that the show which basically launched Netflix originals and helped start the binging trend doesn't belong on such a list.
I'm also not asking for your favorites, because that's very subjective and I could get hundreds of different answers.
I want to know, if you had to make a "history of Netflix" and pick the 10 most important shows to highlight - the ones that were biggest and most impact full at the time of their release, with perhaps some extra points for staying relevant if you want - what would those shows be?

56 of the Best TV Shows on Netflix That Will Keep You Entertained - CNET
1 week ago - This comedy-drama follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a college dropout with no legal background who somehow lands a job at a prestigious New York law firm working for top attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). They become a powerful team but have to keep Mike's lack of legal credentials under wraps. A testament to Suits' brilliance is that it became the most-watched acquired series when it hit Netflix in 2023.
