6 Near-Perfect Netflix Series Nobody Remembers
This Collider feature highlights Netflix series the author considers excellent but overlooked, arguing that a show's popularity often has little to do with its actual quality on a platform that quickly moves on to the next big hit. The piece argues these titles deserved more attention and lasting recognition than they received, using two shows as illustrative examples of underappreciated storytelling.
The article discusses "Santa Clarita Diet", a comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant about a suburban wife who dies, returns as a flesh-eating creature, and forces her husband to navigate the fallout, praised for grounding its absurd premise in genuine marital devotion before being cancelled after three seasons. It also covers "Alias Grace", a miniseries based on Margaret Atwood's novel about a 19th-century Irish immigrant convicted of murder who claims amnesia, noting how its unreliable narration keeps audiences uncertain of her guilt throughout.
