It has been updated to include additional shows.

But the boom of 2021 was just a fizzle compared to whats come down the pipe since.

In general, there is also a bias on this list toward series that are streaming anywherebutNetflix.

Basically, Netflix renders the most basic purpose of this list redundant.

Still, the OG streamer plays host to enough heavy hitters (Fisk!)

that its not entirely absent.

Ostensibly a spinoff (?)

of the famed Charles Dickens novelOliver Twist(??

And its also so much fun.

Give me another half-dozen seasons ofThe Artful Dodgernow, kindly and thank you.

Im ready to follow his next case in the upcoming season two.

Not pleasant, necessarily!Boy Swallows Universeshares withDeadloch(see below) a taste for the artfully grisly.

ItsRomy and MichelemeetsYellowjacketsmeetsThe Wilds, tuned to the key of millennial nostalgia.

To which I say, thanks,Evil, for sending more eyes to Paramount+!

(No spoilers, but lets just say the series starts with a doggie/human-poop-scoop mix-up …).

But if American audiences are anything to go by, cringe is in.

So heres hoping for season three!

This doesnt always make for a comfortable watch.

Thank goodness a second season is on its way.

Recently divorced (under slightly mortifying circumstances), Helen has just moved back to her hometown of Melbourne.

The inherent absurdity of the bureaucracy that accompanies death goes a long way toward makingFiskstand out from the crowd.

Im just desperately waiting forseason three(airing this October in Australia) to hit American Netflix.

If you count yourself among them, maybe giveJack Irisha look.

Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries/Ms.

Whats more, its 1960s-set spinoff,Ms.

More than the cats pajamas, itshot.

Well, okay with the veryDesperate Housewivespromise its trailer makes of Sex!

And Scandal!, it is, in many ways, exactly what it seems.

So maybe just watch through that seasons villain getting their comeuppance, then shut it down.

It is 2021, after all; no cancellation ever really meansnever.

Not a bad grab for your next Netflix binge.

(SeeGood Griefbelow.)

Why is the show so bizarre?

For one, Fisher, who grew up in Perth, is doing an American accent.

Its just a weird little show!

Well, that show is no longer streaming on North American Netflix.

Work with what youve got!

Who cares if this isnt technically streaming yet on Peacock or whatever.

Surf to YouTube and get on theGuy Mont-Spelling Beetrain before all your friends!

Key to this success?

Elsewhere in the school?

Reimaginings of classic literature, not surprisingly, were big public domain, baby!

The Wellington-setNothing Much to Dodidnt just let viewers follow Beatrice and Benedicks hilariously infuriating enemies-to-lovers journey in real time.

Its lovely, and awkward, and perfectly Josh Thomas.

May it last for years to come.

If thats not pedigree enough to earn an honorary spot on this list, I dont know what is.

Beyond that, whats there to say that Vultures other writershavent said before?

The first season takes course of one calendar year.

Only inStarstruck, Jessie is a little rat nobody and Tom is an A-list famous actor.

Things naturally evolve as the series progresses through seasons two and three.
