Oh Il-nam hugs Gi-hun during marble game before being eliminated.

Created by: Hwang Dong-hyuk

Cast: Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon, HoYeon Jung, O Yeong-su

Squid Game is one of the biggest cultural phenomena we’ve seen in recent years, breaking records left and right when it was released in the fall of 2021. The South Korean series centers around a group of 456 people who risk their lives playing children’s games to win a large sum of money. The catch? The games have a deadly twist, and only one winner will make it out alive. Squid Game’s popularity and critical acclaim are well-earned. Not only is it full of smart, daring writing and excellent performances, but the social commentary it offers on class and society is as searing and relevant as well. – Taylor Gates

Heartstopper (2022-present)

Developed by: Alice Oseman (based on the webcomic and graphic novel of the same name)

Cast: Joe Locke, Kit Connor, Olivia Colman, William Gao, Yasmin Finney

There’s something incredibly warming about the range of queer stories that are premiering in this day and age, and Heartstopper feels like the coziest and warmest among them thus far to date. Oseman, who adapts the original story they wrote for the comic, maintains that same sense of genuineness and empathy in a tale that follows two teens who come to the conclusion that their friendship may, in fact, be something more than merely platonic. There’s romance, to be sure, but there’s a commitment to showcasing the highs and lows of being a teenager, when everything seems so intense and unexplored in terms of emotion and that first major crush, and the only thing stopping you from what might be a game-changing relationship is yourself. – Carly Lane

Midnight Mass (2021)

Created by: Mike Flanagan

Cast: Kate Siegel, Zach Gilford, Kristin Lehman, Samantha Sloyan, Igby Rigney

It seems impossible to say that Mike Flanagan has done the damn thing yet again, but with Midnight Mass, a project that the writer-director describes as his most personal and longest-running plan in the works, he’s probably crafted the closest thing to an original magnum opus. Like his previous adaptations of Hill House and Bly Manor, there are plenty of monsters to provide frights, but similarly, there’s just as much emotional heartbreak wrapped up in the human story, not to mention characters who can be as terrifying as any ghost or as menacing as any vampire. Midnight Mass is a series that’s more likely to make you weep than gasp, but that doesn’t diminish its impact — or its staying power, not only on Netflix but in the annals of horror storytelling, period. – Carly Lane
