It has been my experience so far, just about EVERY Netflix produced show has been EXCELLENT (Penny Dreadful was a BBC produced show for SHowtime - and yeah, it was ubber! If Netflix has it, def check it out! And pfffft, if you haven't seen Spartacus - do not pass go, do not collect $200, WATCH it YESTERDAY!!!)
EVen the show's I haven't liked, I can see the show has been well made - and its usually its genre that just kills it for me (like being a cop show is a kiss of death for me).
Sense8 by the Wachowski's Brother's (yes the Matrix guys), great! Hemlock Grove, super! Love, very insightful! If you pay for Netflix and haven't watched Stranger Thing's - why do you have a Netflix sub? (yeah, it might be one of Netflix's very best yet - or at least be well argued as such!). MArco Polo, started a little slow - but its a big train and it it needed a little extra before it hit stride. ALL the Marvel Entertainment show's - best masked superhero shows ever made for the small screen (start with Daredevil, if u like that then go Jessica then Luke!). Master of None - absolutely hilarious. The Crown - Fascinating! Right now I'm watching The Oa, and its been pretty killer so far! The Ranch - first 1/2 hr comedy WITH a laugh track that I've actually laughed and enjoyed in a decade. And of course Black Mirror, is pinnacle stuff. And I KNOW I'm missing a bunch of other shows too!
Trailer's for ALL those shows can be found on YouTube.
Little back story - Black Mirror originally came to us from BBC4 (thats who made the first 2 season's, then Netflix picked iit up and they made season 3). One of the central theme's of the series from the get is that they wanted every episode to revolve around some kind of "upcoming/'just around the corner" technology. So to find out what that might be, they consulted with today's leading/top level futurist's for the most likely and realistic technology's that when you see/hear about it in the show - you'll nod and remark, "OOO, that is 'Right' around the corner"
I've prattled enough, you have some serious TV watching to do - Enjoy!

PS - Once again tho, if you haven't seen Spartacus (no matter WHAT your sex preference OR gender is, you WILL love it!!) Go, go, GO watch it NOW!!!! You can thank us later!!!
PPS Don't know if Netflix gets stuff like this, but you can also look for Deep Water (4 episode cop story, and if your on this web site - you owe it to yourself to watch it), The Missing (kidnapping mystery), Humans (sci-fi), The Transporter (yes, based off the movies of the same name. AND THIS guy actually might be a "transporter", whereas Statham, yes he's dreamy, but the man cannot act his way out of a box), Modus (Swedish 8 episode cop mystery).
PPPS If you CAN, look for Twin Peaks (ABC) and Utopia (Ch4) . Both only 2 season's - but they both have such a fanatical cult following that in 2017 Showtime is bringing EVERYONE back for a 3rd season of Twin Peaks (Been 25 years since season 2 originally aired!). And with a tentative 2018 release date, HBO is in SUPER secret pre-production of a 3rd season of Utopia (I can't explain it, u either "get/love it" or you "hate/don't understand it").
