A series on Netflix is being called the best TV show ever and fans can’t stop rewatching it.
Netflix is the most popular streaming service in the world, boasting the most subscribers and the highest monthly traffic volume.
The platform continues to create its originals and, as of July, there are 157 original scripted drama and comedy titles on the site.
It’s safe to say that there’s something for everyone to enjoy on Netflix.
Now, one series has captivated an audience, with over 1.08 billion minutes of viewership on Netflix.
Fans can’t stop singing the praises of the original title with a star-studded cast.
One viewer writes: “This show is amazing, I legit loved every second.”
Another adds: “So many familiar faces. Every cast member is sheer perfection. So many twists & turns! Don’t trust anyone!”
“I’ve watched it three times!” a third responds.
A user comments: “Ooh this one is a masterpiece for sure!”
The show was created by Jenna Bans, who also made The Family and Off The Map.
When asked about the series by Varitey she said: “I owed NBC a pilot, and I wanted to write something escapist and fun and chockfull of wish fulfilment and something that made my mom feel better about her life. It was a love letter to my mother.”
The cast is full of famous faces actors such as Retta, who stars in Parks and Recreation, Mae Whitman from The Duff, and Christina Hendricks who acted in Mad Men and Drive.
The show also stars Manny Montana from Graceland and Ironheart and the iconic Scream and Scooby Doo actor Matthew Lillard.
The Netflix original has 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.7/10 on IMDb, so it is safe to say the series is a huge success.
Even critics are raving about it, with Debi Enker for The Age saying: “The series’ pace is lively as the plot continually thickens. It also ponders the idea of what happens when people cross a line.”
Shirley Li from The Atlantic agrees, adding: “Complicated antiheroes, audacious plotting, and inventive camerawork don’t often live outside of cable and streaming, and yet this show makes it work.”
“Audiences should tune in sooner rather than later to watch this gem. Even with high expectations, they can still expect to be thoroughly entertained,” Pop Culture Leftovers writer Stephanie Chapman says.
The series’ plot reads: “Three suburban moms orchestrate a local grocery store heist to escape financial ruin and establish independence — together.”
The show features strong women leads in a crime-comedy, and creator Bans says the pitch to NBC was the easiest one of her life.
“When we pitched the show to NBC, it was all female executives: I’ve never had an easier pitch,” she laughed.
“I think I got three sentences in before one screamed, “We have to do this.” It was the easiest time I’ve ever had. They just really got it right away, and they were really excited to do the show.”
The comedy series Good Girls ran for four seasons, but despite its huge popularity among fans and being nominated for a Satellite Award for its final season, it was canceled.
There has been no answer to viewers as to why the show was brought to an end.
