One of the least surprising series on this list, The Haunting of Hill House is one of Netflix's biggest, buzziest, and overall best shows of 2018, so it's good to see it getting the sort of appreciation it deserves.

The Haunting of Hill House is based on Shirley Jackson's classic novel, which immediately gives it a level of audience recognition, but the bigger reason for it being so heavily binged is that it's simply incredibly engrossing. Like all the best ghost stories, it's scary but in a way that means you can't bring yourself to look away (and a lot of people might find it's better to get all of the scares over with in one go).

Expertly mixing horror elements with a stirring family drama, and plenty of mysteries, questions, and cliffhangers to compel you to keep on watching (and watching, and watching), even if it's from behind the sofa.
