Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Co-created and co-produced by Tina Fey, Ellie Kemper (The Office) stars in this show that is known for its witty one-liners and unique storyline. In an interview with E!, Tina Fey explains how one of the most popular series on Netflix came to be.
“The whole show came about because NBC said, ‘Would you guys ever want to write a show for Ellie Kemper?’ And we were like, ‘Yes!’ Because we were big fans of hers from The Office and Bridesmaids… And the thing that we sort of focused in on her was that she has this kind of this sunniness, but also this strength… So this idea somehow came from that of like, OK, what’s a kind of person who sees the world really optimistically? Early pitches were like, what if she was someone who was a baby pulled out of a well as a child? Or a woman who’s just woken up from a coma? So of course we pick the weirdest of the choices.”
Master of None
As of this time, Master of None is the only Netflix series to score a hundred percent with the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Aziz Ansari stars in, and co-created, this hilarious comedy.
Marco Polo
Though widely unpopular among critics, Marco Polo is a hit with audiences.
Love
Despite the fact that the lead male character has few redeemable qualities, audiences and critics alike found pleasure in this series co-created by comedic genius Judd Apatow.
Easy
Easy is an anthology series, and like many anthologies, some episodes soared while others flopped.
Bloodline
Bloodline takes a look at the darker side of a contemporary American family. The first season was regarded as a success, while many felt the second season was a disappointment. It has been reported that the third season will be the series finale.
