The best Netflix TV series of 2024 so far

I’ve had the chance to explore a diverse range of Netflix Originals, each one leaving a unique and lasting impression on me. One that particularly stands out is “The Brothers Sun,” a culture-clash comedy that follows two very different brothers, Bruce and Charles, played by Sam Song Li and Justin Chien respectively.

As a passionate gamer and avid streamer, I’m always keeping an eye on the latest trends in the streaming world. However, despite the rumors of shifts and transformations, Netflix remains my go-to platform for endless entertainment. With password crackdowns and reduced output from other networks, it may seem like change is in the air. But as I explore this vast kingdom of content, I’m continually amazed by the wealth of new shows that Netflix continues to offer. Here are some of the most captivating releases from my favorite streaming service: [List of new shows]

Netflix offers a variety of shows that include popular simulcast anime, anticipated science-fiction epics, saved cult hits, and engaging reality competitions, making it worth holding onto your Netflix account.

Here are the best Netflix series of 2024.

Delicious in Dungeon

In “Delicious in Dungeon,” the brave team embarks on a journey deeper into the dungeon, encountering new monsters to cook for each episode. However, as they delve further, the risks escalate. Around the midpoint of the season, the narrative takes an unexpected and chilling turn, transforming the series into one of the most gripping fantasy tales. The intricate and captivating world-building sets the stage, while the characters keep us engaged. Despite the presence of gruesome chimeras and harrowing pasts, the essence of this show lies in the profound bond formed over a shared delicious meal among friends.

Bodkin

As a seasoned true crime enthusiast with years of listening under my belt, I can’t help but share Bodkin’s skepticism towards the authenticity of these podcasts. Frankly, who among us hasn’t had their doubts? But this particular murder mystery takes it to another level by almost completely abandoning the notion of presenting a comprehensive story.

As a gamer, I’d say this show is not just about the destination, but the unexpected and quirky experiences we encounter along the way. The truth somehow manages to surface, even when people try to hide it. It’s both amusing and heartfelt, smartly navigating the true crime trend without getting bogged down in it. After all, been there, done that – now it’s time for the Bodkin team to uncover the next exciting mystery.

Girls5Eva season 3

Netflix gave a second chance to the Peacock comedy, which is now entertaining a whole new generation. The story follows a girl group from the early 2000s who have reunited in their 40s, and let me tell you, the laughter never stops! These four ladies face the challenges of the music industry while dealing with everyday issues like school committees and relationship woes. This show is not only side-splittingly funny, but it also features irresistible pop-culture references and tunes. Once you start watching a few episodes, I promise you’ll find yourself humming the catchy theme song long after. —Press Release

Sweet Tooth season 3

In a surprising twist, the Netflix adaptation of Sweet Tooth, created by Jeff Lemire, deviates significantly from the original comic series. According to Lemire’s interview with TopMob in 2021, this departure was intentional. With the abundance of post-apocalyptic TV shows already in existence, Lemire was thrilled to allow showrunners Jim Mickle and Beth Schwartz the creative liberty to explore unique perspectives on his story.

As a big fan of Netflix’s “Sweet Tooth,” I can tell you that the story kicks off with me, Gus the Deer Boy, embarking on a journey alongside my grumpy protector, Big Man. We’re on a mission to locate my long-lost mother, navigating vast expanses of post-apocalyptic terrain. The world we inhabit was devastated by two calamitous events: A deadly plague called the Sick took hold, and an inexplicable anomaly in human reproduction led to the birth of hybrid creatures, half human and half animal. This imaginative series has captivated me with its poignant blend of darkness and hope, surrealism and sincerity – a heartwarming family-focused adventure set against the backdrop of a global pandemic featuring enchanting Creature Shop effects.

In this Americana-infused fable with a fairy-tale twist, the third and concluding season of this year unfolds, shedding light on how we confront the looming feeling of cultural demise and grapple with the realization that we may be unwittingly contributing to our own downfall. —Paraphrased by me

The Gentlemen

Guy Ritchie has made a second television adaptation from one of his gangster movies, following “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” on Channel 4 in 2000. In this new project, Martin Freeman and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau appeared before gaining fame in “The Office” and “Game of Thrones,” respectively. However, the foundation for this production was not as robust as the previous one. Although “The Gentlemen” had a successful run at the box office and garnered fans, it doesn’t reach the same level of quality as “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” or any of Ritchie’s best works.

Fortunateately, Ritchie has been producing excellent films recently, with “The Gentlemen,” “Wrath of Man,” “The Covenant,” “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre,” and “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” being standouts in his career. These movies showcase his signature style and provide an entertaining mix of intensity and humor. While the Netflix adaptation of “The Gentlemen” doesn’t quite reach the same level, it still offers an enjoyable experience thanks to its captivating cast.

When Edward Horniman, former Army captain and son of the late Duke of Halstead (Theo James from “Divergent” films and “The White Lotus”), unexpectedly inherits his father’s vast estate and title, he is shocked along with his older brother Freddy (Daniel Ings). However, they are in for another surprise as they discover their father had clandestine business deals with a criminal empire, allowing their land to be used for growing marijuana. Now, Duke Edward must employ all his intelligence and skills to manage this new alliance with the cunning gangster Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario from “Maze Runner” films and “Crawl”). This intriguing premise sets the stage for an entertaining series, featuring captivating performances by James and Scodelario. Supporting acts from Giancarlo Esposito and Vinnie Jones add depth and intensity, promising a thrilling experience reminiscent of Guy Ritchie’s style.

John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A.

In an era where talk shows have lost their edge and grown monotonous, Everybody’s in L.A. stands out as the antithesis – or at least, a fresh take on the traditional format, infusing it with something original, distinctive, and unconventional. With John Mulaney helming the show, Everybody’s in L.A. initially seemed destined for greater things: a stepping stone for Mulaney to ascend to late-night hosting? An ambitious expansion of Netflix’s live and financially rewarding content? Or perhaps an extended comic skit?

The reason “Everybody’s in L.A.” succeeds is that it provides a distinctive and odd take on Los Angeles. It concentrates on this city as a starting point, but soon delves into the lives and settings of people. The show is filled with unexpected twists, be they uninvited guests or bizarre scenes. If it’s supposed to be funny, it does an excellent job, and I’d gladly watch additional episodes.)

Dead Boy Detectives

In simpler terms, “Dead Boy Detectives” is an engaging supernatural series filled with unique elements. These quirks include a transformed walrus-man who runs a curio shop, a cat boy with an uncontrollable infatuation, tiny swearing people living in a jar, a seductive butcher, and the profound impact of yaoi. Essentially, it’s a captivating tale. The two main characters, who are deceased boys, find themselves in Port Townsend, Washington, where they unravel supernatural enigmas with their psychic companion. Though there are spine-tingling scenes, the story is also lighthearted with ample humor and solid character connections.

Masters of the Universe: Revolution

Kevin Smith’s take on He-Man’s classic 1980s animated series is impressive as it strikes a perfect balance between treating the action figures’ fantastical elements with utmost sincerity and a touch of lightheartedness. Instead of making fun of the characters’ outrageous campiness and neon heavy-metal aesthetics, Smith embraces them wholeheartedly. Furthermore, he playfully reinterprets the mythology whenever desired since Masters of the Universe is not about maintaining consistency but rather showcasing the endless progression of absurd power and character transformations into trendy and marketable new forms. By the power of Grayskull, everyone possesses the ability to unleash their hidden potential! – Oli Welsh.

Physical 100: Underground

As a spectator of reality competition shows, I have come to appreciate the unique perspective they offer. Watching a show like “Physical 100” has given me an insight into the world of competitive strength training that was previously foreign to me. I found myself regularly evaluating grip holds and strategies, all while reassuring myself that I could never participate in such an event. “This grandpa may be impressively strong,” I’d think, “but I’m just not cut out for it.”

The Brothers Sun

Unfortunately, the entertaining yet erratic Netflix production met an untimely end after only one season. It held great potential for further growth and potentially exciting installments. However, fans will now have to content themselves with the solitary season – a captivating blend of genres showcasing some noteworthy acting performances.

In a humorous exploration of cultural differences, “The Brothers Sun” introduces two distinct siblings: Bruce (Sam Song Li), a charming and motivational improv comedian, and Charles (Justin Chien), a notorious gangster with a chequered past. Having been raised apart following their mother’s (Michelle Yeoh) emigration to the US with Bruce, the brothers reconnect unexpectedly in Los Angeles when Charles announces that their father has miraculously survived an assassination attempt.

In this engaging scene, the two brothers bring contrasting perspectives to life, leading to exciting conflicts. Notably, Chien shines in an exceptional role that deserves recognition, potentially opening doors to major action film projects. Despite some inconsistencies in the script, particularly in its lengthy dialogue, “The Brothers Sun” boasts impressive direction and hilarious fight scenes among television’s finest. —PV (Paraphrased version)

3 Body Problem

Benioff and Weiss were frequently criticized for five years following the controversial ending of “Game of Thrones.” However, if “3 Body Problem” on Netflix demonstrates anything, it’s that when these showrunners have strong source material to work with, they can create exceptional television.

According to the hugely successful science-fiction novel trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” by Cixin Liu, the story in “3 Body Problem” introduces us to a group of individuals who uncover an alien civilization’s intentions to attack Earth. Their initial strategy involves crippling human innovation and progress. Once they complete their lengthy journey across the universe after 400 years, they plan to invade Earth militarily. The narrative also offers valuable insights into modern Chinese history, and perhaps provides one of the most captivating portrayals of a fictional video game ever seen in films. —SP

Baby Reindeer

The controversial autobiographical series by Richard Gadd, detailing his experiences as a struggling comedian and dealing with an intrusive stalker, has sparked debate due to the revelation of the real-life woman portrayed in the production under the name “Martha.” Questions arise regarding the responsibility of producers and Netflix for ensuring privacy and protection. However, it’s crucial not to overlook Baby Reindeer‘s authenticity and its unsettling blend of dark humor, guilty pleasures, and sorrow, all brought to life brilliantly by Jessica Gunning’s captivating portrayal as Martha. The show offers a more compassionate perspective on Martha and challenges Gadd’s actions, rather than the scandal might suggest. An enthralling, thought-provoking, and hard-to-resist binge-watching experience.
