10 Best Netflix Original Horror Series You Need To Watch

5. Santa Clarita Diet

You might want to skip lunch before starting on this one.

The Hammonds are just your average, everyday suburban family. That is until one day Shelia, the matriarch of the family, is turned undead. The Hammonds must now get to the bottom of this supernatural mystery while at the same time feeding Shelia's hunger for human flesh without drawing any suspicion.

There is a lot of blood and gore in the Santa Clarita Diet. Chowing down on human flesh and drinking blood like it's water are regular occurrences in the lives of the Hammonds. At times even the most strong stomached of viewers may find themselves needing to take a little break from it all.

The major draw of the series isn't in its sickening sights however. Instead, it's series stars Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. Their chemistry together is palpable, and watching them having to do some truly disturbing acts while keeping a "normal" appearance is a hilarious and heartfelt treat.

Sadly cut short at just three seasons, the Santa Clarita Diet is an unjustly overlooked horrifying romp.
