FALL 2021 TV SURVEY: 30 FAVORITE NETFLIX SHOWS
For Rotten Tomatoes’ annual Fall TV Survey, we asked our users what they’re most looking forward to in the coming TV season and to reflect on the best shows from seasons past. Over 1,000 of them got back to us with their picks for fall.
We first asked the question “What is your favorite Netflix show?” in our 2018 Fall TV Survey, and Stranger Things has dominated the category ever since. The hit horror series is followed by newcomer The Queen’s Gambit then Marvel’s Daredevil, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, and Umbrella Academy. Though the series are now Netflix favorites, you won’t find Arrested Development, Cobra Kai, or Lucifer on this list since they started their runs elsewhere. (And while Black Mirror began on Channel 4 in the U.K., it gets a pass because U.S. audiences were introduced to it on Netflix.)
Read on to find out all of Rotten Tomatoes users’ favorite Netflix series.
