7 Netflix TV Shows Anyone Can Watch in One Sitting

Ever since Netflix started developing its own programming in 2012, it has gifted us with so many wonderful shows. And the beauty of Netflix is that you don't have to wait a week for the next episode. You can binge watch an entire series without the anxiety and frustration of not knowing what happens next. But what are the best Netflix shows that can be watched in one sitting?

Fans took to Reddit to answer that question, and here are the top 7.

1. The Stranger

This eight-part British thriller will have you hooked from the start. Brilliantly written and acted, it is also quite short, making it a breeze to get through in one sitting. The premise is that a man is approached by a mysterious young woman who confesses a secret that will soon see his life take sharp twists and turns. Fair warning, you are unlikely to be able to stop once you start.

2. The Night Agent

Who doesn't love a good political thriller with tons of action? Conspiracies, traitors, murders and betrayals are at the heart of this one, which premiered in March this year. It quickly became one of the most streamed shows on Netflix. With just ten episodes in season one, it is easy to binge. And season two is on the way.

3. Stranger Things

Viewers all over the world praise this show as amazing and bingeable, but the focus seems to be on the first season. Given that there are now up to four seasons, it might be a challenge to watch it all at once. But audiences are drawn to the unique characters and macabre subject matter, not to mention the impressive cast.

4. Mindhunter

When Mindhunter premiered in late 2017, viewers were blown away by the cleverness of the writing and the unpredictability of the plot twists. People were glued to the show and couldn't stop watching. The second season was greeted with open arms and fans were saddened when the planned third season was put on hold indefinitely due to director David Fincher being busy with other projects:

5. Chernobyl

This historical drama landed in mid-2019, and fans found the mix of truth and fiction compelling. Based on one of the worst nuclear disasters in history, the writing, acting and effects were second to none and paid remarkable homage to such a tragic chapter of the 1980s.

6. The Queen's Gambit

A standout from the rest of this list, The Queen's Gambit is not a thriller, crime or drama, but a coming-of-age period drama. Viewers became hooked on the seven-part story of Beth, an orphan who grows up to become a chess prodigy while battling drug addiction.

7. Dark

This German science fiction thriller ended up being three seasons long, but that has not stopped viewers from getting hooked to the point of bingeing. While some have declared the first season to be the best, others have remained steadfast in their love for the whole series.
