      Television

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 9, 2024

      Netflix has been the king of original programming since House of Cards, their first original series, debuted back in 2013. Since then, Netflix has debuted award-winning series like Russian Doll (starring Natasha Lyonne), Ozark (starring Jason Bateman), and Sex Education (starring Gillian Anderson as a sex therapist). They’ve also created original Marvel series like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. Netflix’s original series feature unique plots and stellar performances from a wide variety of famous actors and actresses.

      From a fantasy series starring puppets (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) to a true story about an innocent man stuck in prison for a crime he did not commit (Making a Murderer) to a comedy about high school film students creating hilarious documentaries (American Vandal), Netflix’s original series continue to set the example of what great television looks like. But how much do you really know about Netflix original programming?

      Netflix original series

      Netflix original series are television shows or movies that are created and distributed exclusively on Netflix for their many subscribers. Netflix's first original series was House of Cards, which premiered back in 2013. The drama series would go on to win 27 major awards after being nominated 223 times. Its success gave Netflix the confidence it needed to create many more original series like Sex Education, Queen's Gambit, Russian Doll, Black Mirror, Peaky Blinders, BoJack Horseman, Stranger Things, Master of None, Haunting of Hill House, American Vandal, and Making a Murderer.

      Since House of Cards, there have been numerous award-winning Netflix series, including comedy-drama shows, animated series, sci-fi series, and even true story crime documentaries.

      Can You Name These Netflix Original Series with Just Five Clues?

      Netflix has evolved from being just a digital Blockbuster to a cultural phenomenon, churning out shows that get us all talking around the proverbial water cooler. From battling demogorgons in shady small towns to navigating the fierce world of high-stakes chess, original series on Netflix have set the bar high. But here's the big question, folks: can we name these brilliant binge-worthy spectacles with only a fistful of clues? It's like a TV trivia night mashed up with a treasure hunt, but you don't even have to leave your couch.

      A cluttered living room with a TV, popcorn, and a remote. A Netflix logo is visible on the screen. A list of clues is displayed on the wall

      So, we've cooked up a little challenge because, let's face it, we've all become self-proclaimed mavens of the streaming world. Armed with five crafty clues for each show, we'll test the vault of television knowledge nestled in that noodle of yours. It's time to prove we're the ultimate stream team, and let's be real, it's the perfect excuse to flaunt our 'Netflix and No Chill' expertise. Join us at BrainFall and let's see if you can crack the code on these Netflix originals—no spoilers, pinky swear!

      The Big Players in Netflix's Original Lineup

      A lineup of iconic Netflix series logos displayed on a large screen, with spotlights shining on each one. The titles are bold and vibrant, drawing attention to the top shows

      Roll up, roll up! Ever wondered which Netflix originals have been hogging the spotlight? We’re about to dive into the who's who of Netflix's heavy hitters that have redefined our binge-watching habits. Buckle up, everyone!

      Comedic Gold and Dramedy Delights

      Ah, the golden geese of Netflix – comedy and dramedy. We all remember doubling over with laughter or shedding a sneaky tear with shows like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Tina Fey blessed us with this gem, leaving us quoting "Hashbrown no filter" for months on end. Then there's the brilliance of Master of None, where Aziz Ansari, aka our charming lead Dev, navigates life and pasta like a pro. Let's not forget Russian Doll; Natasha Lyonne had us all stuck in a time loop way before it was cool.

      Dramas That Hook You

      Netflix didn't just stop at making us laugh; they lured us into the deep, addictive world of drama. The Crown gave us a peek into the life of Queen Elizabeth II with enough royal tension to form our own crowns out of worry lines. Have you seen Ozark? Let Jason Bateman lead you through crime, drama, and incredibly questionable money-laundering decisions. And how could we not mention Stranger Things? You’d have to be living in the Upside Down not to get sucked into that supernatural extravaganza.

      Groundbreaking Genres and Cult Crazes

      Now, we've all got that one friend who’s obsessed with a show you've barely heard of; well, Netflix nurtured quite a few of those cult crazes. From The Witcher, where our hunky, grunting Geralt made monster-slaying cooler than ever, to mind-bending rides like Black Mirror, where each episode left us pondering our entire existence. The Haunting of Hill House turned us into part-time ghost hunters and full-time light sleepers. Ah, the joys of groundbreaking genres!

      Behind The Scenes and Beyond The Screen

      Alright Netflix sleuths, lend us your ears, as we're about to unveil the wizardry that spins your couch-bound evenings into pure gold. Get ready to dive backstage, shine a spotlight on Netflix's brightest, and crack the code on how they've captured eyeballs across the globe.

      The Making of A Netflix Hit

      Did you know our beloved binge-fests come from a concoction of clever writing, stellar casting, and a sprinkle of that Netflix magic dust? Each Netflix Original Series is crafted through a detailed process that could put a Swiss watch to shame! Shows like Stranger Things begin their life in the minds of brilliant creators, then through countless storyboards, table reads, and location scouts, they breathe life into the characters we adore (and sometimes fear).

      Spotlight on Stars and Storytellers

      Who would've thought that Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda would become our favorite dynamic duo in Grace and Frankie, or that Anya Taylor-Joy would spearhead a chess revolution in The Queen's Gambit? It's the stars and the storytellers that give each tale its flavor – from Aziz Ansari's masterful turns in Master of None to Natasha Lyonne's quirky, time-looping antics in Russian Doll. Hats off to the folks who catch these shooting stars and trap them in our screens.

      Netflix's Formula for Global Dominance

      Get this, our Netflix passport grants us access to tales from New York City to remote villages you’ve never even heard of – all without leaving our comfy sofas. How? By embracing diversity and slinging a vast array of content from dramatic Korean dramas to gut-busting British comedies. Netflix's secret sauce isn't so secret; it's their commitment to creating a global, multicultural platform. Can you say "world peace through streaming"?
