Binge Ranking: 9

It's a little surprising to find Orange is the New Black, one of Netflix's first original hits, down in 9th on the binge-race list - though it might have something to do with the fact that a season is 13 hours long and gets really dark at times.

While Season 5 wasn't its strongest year - though it was admirably ambitious for such a long-running show - it has established itself as Netflix's most reliably great original series over the past few years.

It deftly balances its weighty dramatic elements with moments of real hilarity, is bold enough to tackle (and provide a strong commentary on) a number of serious topics, and features one of the best ensemble casts on TV, somehow managing to juggle its numerous storylines without feeling bloated.

Which of these Netflix shows is your favourite? Which ones have you 'binge-raced'? Let us know down in the comments.
