If you’re struggling to decide what to watch on Netflix today and hate being disappointed we’ve got you covered.

People have suffered through unfunny comedies, poor animations, romances lacking any spark, and sci-fis with unexplained plotholes, so you don’t have to, and they’ve found the rare gems.

They’ve reported their findings on Rotten Tomatoes – a website that allows people to score films and TV shows.

After many streaming hours, a handful of TV series have managed to earn the elusive 100% rating. They’ve been declared pretty perfect by critics and viewers alike to achieve the accolade.

So as time is precious, and nobody wants to waste their precious free evenings or the weekend watching something that just isn’t great, here are seven shows that have done the almost impossible…

Arcane: League of Legends (2021-2024)

It’s reportedly the most expensive animated series of all time, with the two seasons said to have cost $250 million to make (via Variety), but according to the fans, it is money well spent. The series has won four Emmy Awards, and was a number-one TV show on Netflix in 85 countries after its release, but what exactly is it all about?

Created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, Arcane: League of Legends is inspired by the League of Legends games. Rather than ostracise those who’ve never played, it appeals to both casual viewers and longtime fans with its animation, plot, well-rounded characters, and equal emphasis on emotion and action.

The episodes focus on sisters Vi and Jinx, voiced by Pitch Perfect’s Hailee Steinfeld and Sweetpea star Ella Purnell, and the origins of their rivalry. Jinx is an impulsive and manic criminal from the oppressed underground of Zaun, while Vi is an enforcer in the competing utopian Piltover, leading to a complicated relationship.

Act 3 of the second and final season was released on November 23, with fans calling the ending a ‘masterpiece’.

Trial by Fire (2023)

The Hindi-language crime drama is based on a bestselling book that recounts the 1997 Uphaar Cinema fire.

The disaster occurred when an improperly maintained transformer fumigated an auditorium with carbon monoxide before plunging the room into darkness. 59 cinemagoers were killed, and over 100 were injured.

It was later found out that there were multiple code violations, including balcony doors being padlocked from the outside.

Rajshri Deshpande and Abhay Deol play real people Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who fought a long legal battle for justice after losing their two children Ujjwal and Unnati.

Oni: Thunder God’s Tale (2022)

If you want to be quickly uplifted with a short but sweet series, Oni: Thunder God’s Tale comes highly recommended.

Inspired by Japanese folklore, and the poem Onari’s Lullaby by Emi Tsutsumi, the story follows free-spirited child Onari. In her world of oddball gods and monsters, she has yet to discover exactly what her power is but has lofty ambitions to become a mighty hero.

While on her journey of discovery, a mysterious group of ‘Oni’ threaten her village, and she must protect the people.

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman (2017)

Described as the ‘Japanese version of The Office’ by one Reddit thread, the comedy-drama is led by Onoe Matsuya as Ametani Kantarou.

By day Ametani may be a publishing house worker, but his true passion is sweets. He’ll finish his job in a speedy time, so he can secretly pursue his quest to indulge in the tastiest of treats. Although the story is fictional, real Tokyo dessert hotspots are featured, so the twelve 24-minute episodes also serve as a travelogue.

‘It’s all so over-the-top and weird af and I love it so much,’ summarised one viewer.

Crash Landing on You (2019)

If your life is craving a little romance, don’t download Hinge, instead watch the second highest-watched series in Korean cable television history, Crash Landing on You.

The meet-cute between the romantic leads occurs when heiress Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) is caught up in a tornado and has a paragliding mishap.

She crashlands into a military base where she meets army officer Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), who is convinced to hide her and help her travel from North Korea back to South Korea. They of course fall in love during the process!

Scavengers Reign (2023)

Scavengers Reign’s cult following was recently left disappointed after it was announced the show was cancelled. If you watch the ‘masterpiece’ then that should give you a little understanding as to why they are furious.

The adult animated science-fiction series is set in Vesta, a planet filled with extraordinary shape-shifting life forms. When a spaceship lands on the planet, the survivors must figure out how to navigate the world as the aliens become increasingly dangerous.

Travelers (2016-2018)

Travelers isn’t about a bunch of people who find themselves during a gap year in Asia, instead, the Canadian sci-fi show is centred on operatives who travel back in time. Their mission is to prevent the collapse of society after seeing the post-apocalyptic future.

They must go undetected by passing as seemingly normal people and only have their knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles to figure out how to save humanity.

The travellers, which include FBI agent Grant MacLaren (Will & Grace star Eric McCormack), soon discover that 21st-century relationships are as much of a challenge as their high-stakes missions. We could have told them that!

All series are available to stream on Netflix
