Including Tuca & Bertie on this list might be a bit of a cheat, since only one of its two seasons is actually available on Netflix. The streaming service cancelled it after the first season, but fortunately, it was soon picked up by Adult Swim, so the second season is available to watch there.

But the show is simply so good that we had to make room for it, even if just on the basis of the first season. Created by the incredibly talented cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt, Tuca & Bertie is the story of two anthropomorphic birds and all the challenges they face in their everyday lives.

If the visual style of the show looks familiar, it's because Hanawalt's previous work was on BoJack Horseman, which should be enough of a recommendation on its own. But similarities to BoJack mostly end with the animation style, as Tuca & Bertie is very much its own thing.

Completely driven by the strong personalities of the two titular characters, the story often goes on wild tangents or drills down into the mundane, always packed with fast, witty dialogue and hilarious visual gags. Even when it veers into the darker parts, the writers manage to buffer it with just enough jokes to keep it entertaining without cheapening real emotions.
