The Best Netflix Shows of 2017

It’s been a year of stellar programming on Netflix from The Crown to Riverdale.

According to Netflix yearly statistics, users watch more than 140 million hours of content each day, which equates to just over 1 billion​​ hours​​ per​​ week (yes, seriously).

So we’ve rounded up our Top 10 favourites of the year, take a look:

1. The Crown

The Crown follows the political rivalries and romance of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century.

We thought season one was good but season two has been blowing our minds.

Since the famous royal engagement, everyone has been obsessing over the Royal family so what better way to indulge in all things Royal then watching The Crown.

2. Peaky Blinders

A gangster family drama set in 1919 Birmingham, England and centred on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby.

This one is a must watch for anyone who is into crime and corruption.

Cillian Murphy is the main character Tommy Shelby and he is amazing in this series.

3. Riverdale

Okay this one has been seriously addictive this year.

The series follows the life of Archie Andrews, who lives in a small town with a suspicious number of murders.

The show follows in the line of recent hit shows 13 Reasons Why and Pretty Little Liars.

This show is a must watch. Don’t be fooled to think it’s just a teen drama it is for all ages and everybody is loving the twisted plot line.

4. Stranger Things

It’s definitely been one of the most talked-about shows in 2017.

The storyline is based on a young boy who disappears so his mother, a police chief, and his friends must confront terrifying forces in order to get him back.

6. Narcos

This is the perfect political drama mixed in with a little action.

9. Suits
