Collider has published a ranked list of the six best Netflix shows released since 2020, arguing that while Netflix is skilled at generating viral, meme-worthy imagery, the shows that truly endure are those with genuine craft beneath the hype. The list highlights series whose characters and storytelling hold up long after initial buzz fades, spanning animated revenge drama, psychological thriller and true-crime-adjacent television.

Among the entries detailed are the animated series "Blue Eye Samurai", praised for its visual confidence and complex characters surrounding a disguised female swordfighter seeking revenge in seventeenth-century Japan; "Baby Reindeer", Richard Gadd's uncomfortable, autobiographically inspired stalker drama starring Jessica Gunning, which became a cultural phenomenon for refusing easy narratives around victimhood; and a third series, apparently "Adolescence", introduced via a police raid on a family's home involving a thirteen-year-old. The full article text was cut off before all six shows and their final rankings could be captured.
