In addition to its numerous well-known cable television shows, Netflix also boasts an impressive amount of original series exclusive to the platform as well.
Inspired by the work of early Spielberg, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and Stephen King, the series’ three seasons feels more like three distinct movies in a trilogy than a strict episodic TV show.
The principal showrunner of the series is David Fincher, whose style of filmmaking is evident in nearly every scene of the show, serving as essential viewing for fans of Fincher’s other work, like Seven and Zodiac.
One of the most-watched, longest-running original series on Netflix, Orange is the New Black has been nominated for numerous Emmys, Golden Globes, and Writers Guild of America Awards over the years.
