This Tina Fey creation delivers nonstop laughs and emits happy thoughts through the screen. Season two was recently released and there is already conformation for a third season.

Arrested Development: This lighthearted comedy is great for its ability to be a twenty minute distraction or an eight hour marathon. With one of the most dysfunctional families ever seen on TV, Arrested Development showcases its unmatched roster of comedic talent. This show is indescribable because of its nonlinear timeline and constantly crossing storylines. However, this is exactly what makes this show unique and incredible. There are currently four seasons available.

Master of None: You will never laugh harder at complex philosophical themes than you will with Master of None. No one other than Aziz Ansari could pull of this balance of humor and existential questions. This show may be more of a miniseries as there is only one season available and Netflix is yet to confirm a renewal for season two. Regardless, this genuine analysis of snake person, is brilliant. This show will make you laugh and cry and feel around everything in between. This show raises the bar for both comedy and drama.

Making a Murderer: It is hard to say much about this crime docu-series without revealing a major plot twist. That just goes to show the amount of twists and turns that are scattered throughout this show. There is no show on this list that leaves you hungrier for one more episode than Making a Murderer because it goes beyond the show and delivers an in depth look at the American justice system. The events are so unbelievable that as the show progresses, the truth gets harder to swallow. This show is a miniseries as only one season is available.
