The show was canceled by ABC after two seasons, but it was picked up by Netflix for a third season that's now streaming.

The series’ return to Netflix for fourth and fifth seasons has not been nearly as auspicious, but it’s still a gift to fans who had to say goodbye to the Bluths all too soon.

The Flash has tackled everything from the classic Flashpoint storyline about alternate realities to the giant, super-intelligent Gorilla Grodd. It’s as if the traffic-discussing members of the Saturday Night Live skit “The Californians” were in a Saw movie. Against Fox’s Gordon Ramsay-hosted properties, Chopped, even Top Chef, with their constant backbiting and broken dreams, the contestants on GBBS are sunny, mutually supportive amateurs (albeit extraordinarily skilled ones); in any given episode, the worst crisis is judge Paul Hollywood pressing a finger into a scone and pronouncing it “underbaked” (or literally pronouncing it “overwerked and oonderbaked”). And of course Bryce and Lisa, the essence of Etsy, putting “birds on things” in a local boutique while all hell breaks loose around them.

What you need is to be able to log on and know exactly what you want to start bingeing without wasting time scrolling around. “New York, I Love You,” which stepped away from the main characters to showcase the vibrant diversity of the city and “Thanksgiving,” which chronicled Dev’s childhood friend Denise (Lena Waithe) coming out to her family, are easily the season’s highlights. Provocative, irreverent, and profoundly weird, its send-up of the isle’s culture and institutions—particularly the elite, educated class from which the troupe’s own members hailed—take merciless aim at authority in every conceivable form, all with a dash of surrealism and Terry Gilliam’s sublime animations. And they try again. With a darker tone and a more “woke” aesthetic, Anne with an E grows up immensely with its second season. Underappreciated by critics, under-watched by audiences, and misunderstood by those expecting the focus to remain squarely on House Versace (ably handled by Edgar Ramirez as the late fashion designer and Penelope Cruz as his sister, Donatella), the second installment of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series is an even pricklier treatment of “true crime” than the first.

These risks came in the form of (among other things) sealing the protagonist in jail for a third of the run, killing off a major character, and ending the season with what I can only describe as the visual equivalent of a mic drop. They proceed to get to know each other without even meeting by writing back and forth in a journal and guiding each other to their favorite NYC spots. Shipka, taking all that she earned from Mad Men, dominates the screen while snipping and snapping with each potent line delivery. Mainly, though, it’s the friendships and coming-of-age stories, the relationships and family bonding, that really make Stranger Things great.

I never know what the twisty Dead to Me is really up to and that’s just the way I like it. —Allison Keene, Created by: Noelle Stevenson Stars: Aimee Carrero, Karen Fukuhara, AJ Michalka, Marcus Scribner, Reshma Shetty, Lorraine Toussaint Original Network: Netflix. Fitting into a middle ground of sensibilities between occupational comedies like NewsRadio and the sly navel-gazing of Dead Like Me, The Good Place is the rare show that’s completely upfront about its main character’s flaws, creating a moral playground that tests Eleanor’s worst impulses at every turn. Shows get exponentially easier to watch when the lead is having this much fun. Because The Queen’s Gambit is a work of fiction (that title, by the way, is mentioned 33 minutes into the first episode and then dispatched with), it tells exactly the engrossing character story it wants to, and how. Like its nearest antecedent, Blue Velvet, it explores the weirdness that lies beneath the surface of Anytown, U.S.A., including a lot of soap opera-like psychosexual drama and assorted oddball characters like The Log Lady (Catherine Coulson) and agoraphobic Harold Smith (Lenny Von Dohlen). His sketches tend to focus on two types of characters: People who tell small lies that grow larger and more obvious as they refuse to come clean, and people who are too irrational, confused, or stubborn to understand what’s happening—or refuse to understand because that would require admitting their own ignorance. It’s just so… not. The Great British Baking Show.

And when he was replaced, naturally, it was by Scott Baio. —Bonnie Stiernberg, Created by: Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein Stars: Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein Original Network: IFC, The greatest thing about Portlandia, IFC’s ode to the modern hipster, is the cavalcade of bizarro-world characters dreamed up by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein and unleashed in an endless stream of free-associating sketches: Toni and Candace, the fervently feminist clerks of Women and Women First Bookstore. Alyssa (Jessica Barden) is 17 and kills nothin—not that her words lack for trying. There’s something quietly revolutionary about Unbelievable. You can liken it to Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones or any high fantasy series you like, but after ten magical hours it truly stands on its own as a gorgeous, innovative, emotional, joyous, and exceptional wonder. It's all the minor-stakes drama and petty cliquishness of The Hills, plus interior design porn. Genuinely, aside from a few single-episode cameos of side characters from Hope and Alaric’s TVD/Originals past, the only thing you need to watch to make sense of Legacies is this official promo for the first season. Despite the time period (in a surprise perhaps to American viewers), the first time we are shown a swastika is not until the Season 2 finale. In the second season, they’re a headmistress and a basketball coach dealing with a sexual assault at a high school party. Too many series conflate “prestige” with sorrow, violence, and horror when it can (and should) also mean happiness and splendor. Sink your teeth (ha, ha, ha) into the many seasons of this massive CW hit, combining the best of soapy teen yearning with genre action and vampiric sexiness. And for good reason: Penélope Cruz is uncanny as Donatella Versace, and Darren Criss gives the performance of his career as Gianni's murderer, Andrew Cunanan. Longtime fans of Ann M. Martin’s The Baby-Sitters Club, a chapter book series whose late ‘80s/early ‘90s aesthetic is so iconic Scholastic sells a tin-boxed set of original covers, will be understandably skeptical of Rachel Shukert’s upcoming Netflix adaptation. Viola Davis won an Emmy for her portrayal of professor Annalise Keating, who instructs her law students in the finer points of burying bodies and bending the law. Boasting a wonderfully sprawling and diverse cast (who do their own stunts), the series never shies away from deeper issues of race, gender, and the realities of a career on the stage. The Great British Baking Show – A popular British reality show baking competition. What emerges, as I wrote at the start of the season, is an ambitious, unorthodox, potent, frankly astonishing reconsideration of what it means to be and be called a faggot, animated by one indelicate imperative: Queer lives matter, and not just their ends. Sorry nitpickers and network executives; Kimmy Schmidt is going to make it after all. But we'll stop there: It's best to go into this show spoiler-free because the many twists and turns are truly wild. The same can happen now when you scroll around Netflix; the options seem endless (and they nearly are, so much so that Netflix’s own newly released series often get lost!) Platt plays a teen with the lofty ambition of one day becoming president of the United States—but first he must conquer high school politics.Â, Hosted by comedian Nicole Byer and chef Jacques Torres, this baking competition show is perfect if you're in need of a laugh. So, relive the show from its nascent early days or discover it for the first time. Its plucky set of kid and teen characters battle monsters (real or within themselves) and go to the mall. That’s especially true with Barry Allen zipping around National City in The Flash, taking out bad guys with a quip and a smile. But Cavill and showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich’s adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels (which themselves were turned into a beloved series of videogames) is up to snuff due to its willingness to play by its source’s rules, bringing high fantasy fun to Netflix for anyone willing to vault a few hurdles. These things are all taken as being typical in Hap and Leonard, which thoughtfully followed-up a wild first season with an incredibly emotional second, and a heartbreaking third. Although all of the Bridgerton siblings appear during the show’s eight episodes, the first season focuses primarily on eldest daughter Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) as she enters society and attempts to secure a marriage proposal.

But if you want to take the festivities up a notch, streaming all the holiday films you can get your hands on just might do the trick.. It’s a tough job playing a character known for his emotionlessness, made tougher when he’s also appointed the shepherd to a storied fantasy universe. Styled initially as dark British comedy (which begins with a thwarted suicide that’s played with sighing resignation), Sharpe’s alternatively dreamy and nightmarish series follows the exploits of a family whose members are all on the brink of a breakdown (and more often than not cross over). Set in Northern Ireland, Derry Girls takes you inside the lives of a group of high school girls in the ’90s dealing with all the complexities of being a teenager—crushes, detention, cliques, and the like—in a time of political unrest. —Amanda Schurr, Created by: Drew Goddard Stars: Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio Original Network: Netflix, Marvel and DC have both tried to leverage their movie dominance onto the small screen many times over, but for awhile, the only beloved recent TV show based on a comic book came from indie publisher Image with The Walking Dead.

O.J. Her wild imagination, always positive spirit, and desire to make life better for everyone around her in the wake of her own heartache makes the series a worthy and upbeat watch. Not since Jim and Pam in the early seasons of The Office has there been a sitcom relationship as endearing and emotionally engaging as Deschanel’s Jess and Nick, her lovable, hard-drinking grump of a roommate (played with great gusto by the fantastic Jake Johnson). Deftly edited and full of stylish montages, the moves that come so easily to Beth are not easily explained to viewers. That started to change with the first season of Daredevil. —Amy Amatangelo, Created by: Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns Stars: Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Rick Cosnett, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh Original Network: The CW, Over the past decade, the CW (born from a merger of The WB and UPN in 2006) has taken full advantage of its close ties with Warner Bros. to hand over much of its primetime slate to DC superhero shows, and it’s one of the most fun line-ups on television.

Rogers Stars: Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, Toby Huss, Aleksa Palladino Original Network: AMC, By the time Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers’ group portrait of the dawn of the digital age concludes its final act, cable’s most under-appreciated drama emerged as one of its most poignant, a treatment of connections broken and (re-) made over the course of a distant decade. And while some viewers no doubt came to Hannibal purely for its inventive, if highly gruesome imagery (there’s certainly that in spades), chances are they ended up staying for the compelling writing, hypnotic performances, and luscious, evocative cinematography. “I love him because he loves you,” she tells her. Right from the title sequence, which documents BoJack’s sad decline from network sitcom star to drunken has-been—set to the beautiful theme song written by the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney—this is one of the most thoughtful comedies ever made.

The series is awe-inspiring in scope, and the scenes in space are gorgeous. By expanding on the Norman Bates story, Bates Motel has taken an iconic character and enriched him with a haunted history that makes him even more fascinating as we watch his descent into madness.

Through the series, its elaborates, thoughtful style and episodic structure fleshes out the supporting characters, including Elizabeth’s husband, Philip (Matt Smith), and sister, Margaret (the standout Vanessa Kirby), by turning the focus away from the queen herself. As Paste’s own Amy Amatangelo put it in her review of the first season, “[Cobra Kai] excels at not allowing anyone to be truly evil or angelic, understanding that human beings are complex and cannot be summed up by a one-line character description.” And now it’s available on Netflix. Within zany storylines and a fast-moving plot, The Magicians is also grounded in the mental health issues experienced differently by each of the main characters. The first episode almost immediately calms those fears, though, revealing a series as weird and idiosyncratic as the comic. (And let's be real: Who isn't these days?) Carmen Sandiego: To Steal or Not to Steal is the plucky wunderkind who takes that hypothesis’ potential and turns it into something real. —Eric Walters and Amy Amatangelo, Created by: Gene Roddenberry Stars: Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Wil Wheaton Original Network: CBS, The original series was pioneering.
