The top Netflix shows aren't difficult to find because there are a myriad of excellent shows available on the streaming service. The sheer number of shows makes it hard to pick just one show to enjoy, however, and that's why we're here. We've put together the 10 best Netflix TV shows to watch to make deciding on your next Netflix binge simpler.

If you've not yet gotten around to the highly discussed Squid Game, or are looking for classic comedies like Seinfeld or a fantasy-themed adventure such as Shadow and Bone, an old-fashioned favorite similar to Breaking Bad, a true-crime drama like Mindhunter, or a refreshing pick-me-up like Queer Eye, there's something to satisfy your needs.

 Additionally, all of the shows listed below are available for viewing in both the US and the UK, so you can watch the latest TV series from both sides of the Atlantic. Take a look below to see the 10 best Netflix TV shows currently streaming.

Seinfeld

Seinfeld is, without a doubt, one of the most popular TV shows ever. There aren't many other comedies that have made an impact on the public's consciousness, which is why Netflix was clamoring for worldwide streaming rights. 

If this is your first time getting to know Jerry Seinfeld, George Constanza, Kramer, and the unfathomable Elaine Benes, then you are in for a great time. If you've seen this trio of New York terrors-and they do get worse as the season progresses, there's no better moment to go back and watch this great show.

Squid Game

The K-drama that's been taking the internet and the entire world by storm is now an original Korean drama and is able to climb to the top of Netflix within the US. The Squid Game follows a group of individuals struggling financially who are asked to compete in a spooky survival contest with a substantial cash prize. 

The participants must take part in a variety of traditional contests, but with dangerous twists. They risk their lives to win W45.6 billion (that's roughly $38 million). When you begin, you'll be hooked.

Shadow and Bone

The new series of fantasy on Netflix Shadow and Bones brings epic world-building, enchanting action scenes, and beloved characters to the streaming platform. This show's story is based upon Leigh Bardugo's popular Grisha novels and lets an ordinary young girl Alina Starkov discover that she has an incredible power that could save her country. 

A group of criminals from across the ocean has high-stakes plans of its own. It's both a harrowing and enjoyable fantasy story that will please book lovers and people who don't recognize what's Grish From The Darkling.

Stranger Things

The binge-watch series that ran for the last couple of years. The Duffer brothers crafted an amalgamation of references to the 1980s and then incorporated all that into a slick plot about the government's experiments on residents of a tiny town in Indiana. 

The plot comes to a head when a young man, Will Byers, goes missing, prompting the mother of his son Joyce (Winona Ryder) as well as his sheriff (David Harbour) and Will's family to think about the most bizarre possibility that there's a parallel world that's filled with terrifying monsters and demons just waiting to attack you.

 The cast is all fantastic (this writer personally was satisfied to be able to see Winona Ryder returning to the forefront of things). But it's the younger actors who make the most impact. Running around Hawkins riding their bikes at night, and then hunkering down in basements looking for their missing friend They will delight you, particularly Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven.

Daredevil

Forget the 2003 disaster; this is the Daredevil film that fans have been waiting for. The first in Marvel's Netflix universe to roar from the beginning, Daredevil is a blustering blend of brooding drama, fascinating action, and some of the most memorable evil ever since Heath Ledger embodied the Joker. 

Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) and Steven S. DeKnight (Blade) acted as showrunners for the early seasons, which received universal applause for their uncompromising take on blind lawyer-turned-do-gooder Matt Murdock.

 Daredevil is a show with some of the most thrilling stunt choreography you've ever seen in the world of television. Yes, I'm talking about the season 1 hallway fight sequence. It's awe-inspiring to see Murdock's athletic skills since it's true that Murdock is blind. The ambition of the first season is yet to be replicated within the Netflix Marvel universe.

Sex Education

Everyone has, at some point in their lives, experienced the soul-crushing, please-swallow-me-up-Earth awkwardness of discussing the birds and bees with their parents. It's a tradition of passing. Now, take that experience and multiply it by a thousand or so, and you're getting close to the embarrassment that is at the root of sex education. 

It's a Netflix Original starring Gillian Anderson as Jean Milburn, a sex therapy therapist. The show revolves around her son Otis, who is played by Asa Butterfield. In contrast to his open, chatty wife, Otis is a bit sluggish in his progress up until the time he and his buddies create the sex treatment facility for their students.

It's easy to watch and feels fresh because of its fun young cast. You might be expecting raunchy humor, but you're sure to be able to enjoy the life lessons that are deeply meaningful and cherished by the core group of youngsters. The show isn't focused on preaching; it's about expanding your mind and accepting your differences, which may sound romantic, but it's far from it.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad remains one of the most popular television shows to have emerged in recent times. The intriguing story of a chemistry teacher who turns into a meth dealer spirals out of control over the course of five seasons, as the teacher, Walter White, slowly changes from a nice guy to an antihero. 

While doing so, he conceals the shady activities of his family members, resulting in an unsettling, slow-burning tension throughout the entire show.

 Just when you think that the stakes aren't going to get to a higher level, the infamous White shows up. Stepping up his game and taking his mission to the highest levels of extreme, His stoic rage is breathtaking to watch thanks to the nuanced performance of Bryan Cranston, who manages to create an incredible character.

Mindhunter

A piece from the past without corsets or glitzy accents, you might ask? Mindhunter is the brainchild of David Fincher, and it attempts to recreate the early days of the FBI's profiling of serial killers. This isn't your usual regular crime drama. 

This dark masterpiece is a long, slow burn when Jonathan Groff's elated agent and his angry coworker (Holt McCallany) venture into the dangerous world of interviewing serial killers in prison. 

Based on the real account of the first FBI profiler, the story of his own life is perfectly interspersed over all of the initial season, in which we witness episodes after episodes of vibrant and textured narrative that will get into your psyche and keep it there.

The decades of crime-related entertainment such as CSI have made all of us into lazy sleuths, and the vast majority of shows and movies are aware of this. For completely different reasons, Mindhunter is a joy to watch. You'll be screaming at the television as two agents employ their new methods to capture active killers.

Peaky Blinders

What will you get when you combine Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy on screen together? Is that making the Dark Knight fanfic come to life? Yes, however, I was talking about the amazing Peaky Blinders. It is set in 1919. The series' name comes from an infamous street gang that took over Birmingham, England shortly after the end of the Great War. 

Making use of any means necessary to climb the ranks of criminals is the war veteran, Thomas Shelby, who, along with his family, is the subject of this riveting crime drama.

A show that's been dubbed "the" British Boardwalk Empire deserves to be checked out just for the comparison. If you're a lover of the HBO series, then you'll appreciate the first episode of this classic gangster saga, and if not, Peaky Blinders is a time and locale that's rarely seen on screen and leaves you wondering why. You're invited to watch the whole film.

Dark

If you've watched the entire series of Stranger Things multiple times, you'll need something like it to keep you going until you can watch more episodes. The answer is "Dark." From the very beginning, the German-language Netflix original is clear about its goal: it is going to be as creepy and eerie as Lynchian as possible. 

This isn't simply because it's strange, however; as with the aforementioned David Lynch-created TV show, it delves into the dark underbelly of idyllic small-town life. In this instance, it's the story of two missing children that creates trouble for a spooky community.

 There's no way to find something similar to Dark. It may have ideas in common with other well-known series (there are missing children as well as time travel and other strange supernatural phenomena). However, Dark is packed with distinct pieces to its puzzle.
