Netflix is not just a place to stream 2-year old episodes of your favorite shows anymore, the cutting-edge video-on-demand service has expanded into original television, and its original programming is already beloved by fans everywhere. As full seasons are released simultaneously, you can binge on Netflix as much as ever. Here’s our top five fave original series:

5. Hemlock Grove

This horror thriller from Hostel director Eli Roth has some great scares and a heavyweight cast including Famke Janssen and Dougray Scott. The first season had a better opening weekend across the globe than House Of Cards! A bit dreamlike for some, but it’s still pushing the envelope for the TV horror genre.

4. Lilyhammer

Silvio from The Sopranos (Steven Van Zandt) goes into witness protection in an isolated town in Norway. “Silvio” not Van Zandt’s name on Lilyhammer, but he’s basically the same wise guy. The best way to describe this show is weird, but beautiful. It’s an ironic concept, but Van Zandt it pulls it off well. (Can you even get good gabagool in Norway?)

3. BoJack Horseman

As star Will Arnett protested on Conan, what’s so strange about an animated comedy following a talking horse that’s the washed-up star of a ‘90s sitcom writing a tell-all autobiography? Well, a lot! But it’s hilarious, and a great satire on the media.

2. House Of Cards

A satisfying piece of political intrigue set at the heart of US government that’s more like the evil twin of The West Wing than a Scandal copycat! Kevin Spacey plays Democratic Whip Frank Underwood, and even though we get the scoop on his schemes, the show is still full of surprises! Spacey is Machiavelli meets Hannibal Lecter (all pun intended). He’s in control of everyone at all times, and he’s no one’s tortured prince.

1. Orange Is The New Black

Say what you will about this women’s prison drama, overrated or not, there’s no question that it’s extended the diversity of television and challenged the media’s portrayal of women by leaps and bounds. The show is packed with outstanding performances by up and coming actors, and its greatest feat is remaining a fun and addicting show to watch while covering such a bleak subject matter.
