12 Recent TV Series On Netflix You Need To Binge Watch

The television landscape is an ever-changing business as countless studios are constantly changing up the way in which they administer content, all in the hopes that they'll appeal to their audiences in new and exciting ways. But in an era largely dominated by on-demand services and streaming platforms, it goes without saying that Netflix is the one to beat.

Dropping content on fans long before it was considered the cool thing to do, it allowed its subscribers to consume endless episodes of television at virtually the drop of a hat - instead of having them do things the old-fashioned way and wait a week for a new episode (such an archaic notion, right?!).

We now live in age where 'binge-watching' has become a completely acceptable trend and, in all honesty, we have good old Netflix to thank for that. And the streaming service really does show no signs of slowing down, because it's dropped a ton of new shows in recent months and weeks that you just might have missed.

At a time when people need escapism, we have Netflix to provide us with plenty of it and luckily, they're continuing to deliver great content with some brilliant recent shows...

To modern day audiences, the term Ragnarok is a reminder of one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most enjoyable films, but its origins are much, much older than the third Thor offering from the MCU - origins that this Netflix series also borrows from.

A Norwegian fantasy drama, Ragnarok is set in the fictional town of Edda and it follows the arrival of young boy Magne, who quickly begins experiencing strange and powerful abilities - abilities that are connected to the weather itself. And the longer he spends in climate change-plagued town, the closer he gets to the truth, learning of his Norse mythological origins.

An innovative coming-of-age reimagining of the Thor saga, it sets itself apart from previous attempts through its angsty and grounded approach, following in the footsteps of Twilight in that it manages to put a modern day twist on an ancient genre. And even though it's not all perfect, it sure makes for compelling viewing.
