A list of Netflix Originals: 



  • Orange is the New Black 
  • House of Cards
  • Better Call Saul 
  • Bojack Horseman 
  • The Killing 
  • Sense 8
  • Narcos 
  • Hemlock Grove 
  • Marco Polo 
My favorite of them all is Orange is the New Black, simply for the intricate characters. 
People seem to think of prisons as a place full of crazy bad people, this show opens you mind to see them as actually normal people who made mistakes to get through life. Its wonderful. And the scenes are perfectly shot, every angle has been thought through, I really think Netflix are perfectionists when it comes to creating their own programs.
