20 TV Series On Netflix That Need Binge-Watching

11. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

The title of this show could be off-putting, suggesting something that's just a bit silly or soapy. And, while it does have those elements, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is much more besides.

It reclaims that title, and - as the opening credits tell us - it's a lot more nuanced than that. The show is an effective study of a character who has mental health problems, is often unhappy, sometimes does things that aren't likeable, but you always want to root for.

It's funny, smart, and the musical numbers - which are plentiful, but not all the show has to offer - are as catchy as they are ingenious.
