The 15 best TV shows on Netflix ranked

By Bahle Gama

Think about a buffet of movies! That is Netflix for some people. A user logs into the streaming service, and they do not know which movie, series, documentary, or reality show to watch because everything is almost there, from action to romance, thriller, comedy, true crime, cooking shows, and animation among others.

In different languages and made from different countries, such that a user no longer finds Netflix’s original content as was the case before. Movies that were created/produced way before Netflix became this popular are now found in the streaming service which results in more diversity for users.
