- Creator(s)
- Richard Gadd
Based on a true story, Baby Reindeer is a drama-thriller miniseries created by and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, adapted from Gadd's autobiographical one-man show. The seven-episode show follows Gadd's real-life experience of being stalked. The series stars Gadd as Donny and Jessica Gunning as his stalker, Martha. A thrilling partly fictionalized story of real trauma, Baby Reindeer is a complex and brilliantly conceived show that’s received universal acclaim from critics. The show is produced by Clerkenwell Films, who also did Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World, and there is a clear connection between the two in terms of tone. The narrative can be quite painful and messy at times, but it's all underscored by a dark and twisted sense of humor. The fact that these events are based on reality just makes the show feel even more surreal as Donny and Martha’s story escalates and spirals out of control. This is a series that demands to be binged, as each episode will leave you eager for the next.

One of Netflix’s most successful series of 2023, The Fall of the House of Usher explores the deaths of controversial pharmaceutical company CEO Roderick Usher’s (Bruce Greenwood) children, including playboy gamer Leo (Rahul Kohli) and cunning PR girlboss Camille (Kate Siegel). What unfolds is a conspiracy that goes right to the top, with the CEO of the company heading up a mission to deceive the public. Unfortunately for him, there are supernatural elements — including Carla Gugino’s chilling Verna — he can’t control at play. Put the enigmatic mind of Mike Flanagan and the inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe together, and it is surely a recipe for success, with this series diving deep into the gothic style that finds so much success on our modern screens. Bolstered by an excellent cast, it is Mary McDonnell who steals the show, even winning a Gracie Allen Award for her trouble. - Jake Hodges

Brooding throughout, Who Is Erin Carter? is a masterclass in creating tension, with even the smallest of eye movements suggesting potential danger. The true champion of the series is Evin Ahmad’s lead performance, with her nuanced and flawed portrayal of Erin Carter both relatable and deliciously frustrating. - Jake Hodges

Gone far too soon, the indulgent Dare Me follows Colette French, the new coach of a high school cheerleading team played by Willa Fitzgerald, as she tries to unpick the toxic hierarchy that she inherited upon arrival. With the student/teacher relationship certainly rocky, how will they cope when a terrible crime shakes their foundations? Based on the beloved novel of the same name by Megan Abbott, each of Dare Me’s teenage characters is far from the average high schooler, with some of their morally reprehensible decision-making a refreshing and honest portrayal of the mistakes made during adolescence. Gripping and stylish, Dare Me is one you won’t want to miss. - Jake Hodges

This Netflix smash hit follows the life of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), whose narrated love for certain women soon unravels into a stalker’s obsession, with the course of true love quickly running blood red. The genius of You lies in the ability of creators Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble to twist what should be an abhorrent lead character into someone you quietly find sympathy for, with the story ebbing and flowing with constant twists and turns. A success for a reason, You is one of those shows that everyone must watch at least once — even if it is just for the gravel-soaked tones of Badgley’s narration. - Jake Hodges

However, whilst trying to protect his son from a miscommunicated accusation, he accidentally imprisons a woman, leading to a spiraling of events into chaos that will eventually involve Stanley Tucci’s Grieff, who is incarcerated halfway across the world. Full of shocking moments and the tearing down of wonderfully crafted characters, Inside Man shines thanks to Tennant’s lead performance, although Tucci’s cross between Sherlock and Hannibal Lecter steals any scene he is in. - Jake Hodges

From writer/producer Debora Cahn, The Diplomat follows Keri Russell’s Kate Wyler, a woman for whom her pending promotion was one step too far. Now in a high-profile political position during a particularly hot crisis, her professional life starts to spiral, as does her personal life, with her marriage on the line. Gritty and real, The Diplomat is as addictive as it is indulgent, with the tiniest details of political warfare analyzed with often fascinating insight. Bursting with an ensemble full of intriguing characters, the inter-working of each of their relationships is fascinating enough on its own. However, the stand-out performance comes from Russell’s magnetic portrayal of Wyler, earning her nominations for both a Critics’ Choice Award and a Primetime Emmy. - Jake Hodges

The fear of the unknown is rife, especially when it comes to the seemingly endless horrors of the internet and social media. Red Rose manages to neatly tap into this fear, showcasing a gripping story with a penchant for twisted thrills that will likely lead many to switch off their phones straight after watching. - Jake Hodges

With the odds well and truly stacked against her, just how will she survive?

However, after one of the twins goes missing, their perfectly woven web of deception starts to unravel at a frightening speed. Never far from a shocking subversion, Echoes has so many twists and turns that describing it as a rollercoaster ride simply wouldn’t do it justice. Beyond its clever narrative and neat direction, it is Monaghan’s lead performance that demands the most credit, with her ability to play both twins with detailed differences nothing short of remarkable. - Jake Hodges
