48. PEN15

Where to stream: Hulu

Number of seasons: 2

Synopsis: No, the girls here aren’t really teenagers, that’s part of the joke! PEN15 doesn’t take itself too seriously, it’s all in good fun. PEN15 likes to be described as “middle school as it really happened,” and based on the trailer (which you can check out above) it’s not wrong! Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle play 13-year-old versions of themselves and deal with the pains of middle school.

Why PEN15 is one of the best shows on streaming

Do you miss Broad City? Because same! There’s more where that came from! Watch PEN15 for similar vibes and even more laugh! One thing this comedy has that Broad City didn’t, is plenty of nostalgia. PEN15 stars Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle. Also, unlike Broad City, there’s more to come as the series has been renewed for a second season.

47. Marvel’s Netflix TV series

Where to stream: Netflix

Number of seasons: There are 13 seasons in all between:

  • Daredevil
  • Jessica Jones
  • Luke Cage
  • Iron Fist
  • The Defenders
  • The Punisher

Synopsis: All of these Marvel shows on Netflix take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving fans even more to love about the MCU franchise. The first seasons introduce audiences to the characters (don’t worry, origin stories are skipped), and The Defenders sees them join forces in New York to stop The Hand.

Why Daredevil and the others are one of the best shows on streaming

While Daredevil and The Punisher are popular heroes you may have known about before, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are equally brilliant! Each role was perfectly cast. If you love the MCU, these six shows on Netflix need to be on your list.

Despite being canceled by Netflix due to their contract with Disney (rumor), there are talks of the heroes returning to the MCU. After Spider-Man: No Way Home, the series Daredevil has become one of the most-watched on Netflix (once again).
