By the end of 2016, there will be more Netflix original series than anyone could possibly hope to keep track of. From dramas to comedies to documentaries to shows for kids, the mountain of content never stops growing, which is why you might get some use out of a list of the top rated shows on the streaming service.

We already gave you a list of our personal favorite shows and movies being added to Netflix in February, but here are the top 20 shows the service has ever produced.

This list was put together by PrettyFamous and was based on something called a Smart Rating. The Smart Rating for each series takes into account IMDb rating, IMDb votes, Emmy Awards, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic Ratings.

  1. House of Cards
  2. Orange Is the New Black
  3. Marvel’s Daredevil
  4. Narcos
  5. Making a Murderer
  6. Marvel’s Jessica Jones
  7. Sense8
  8. Chef’s Table
  9. Master of None
  10. BoJack Horseman
  11. Bloodline
  12. Marco Polo
  13. Lilyhammer
  14. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
  15. F Is for Family
  16. Grace and Frankie
  17. Club de Cuervos
  18. W/ Bob & David
  19. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
  20. Hemlock Grove

Having seen a majority of the series on this list, I have to admit that some of the placements surprised me. Who would have thought Sense8 would rank higher than Master of None? Anyway, if you’re looking for a new way to decide which Netflix show to watch next, following this list wouldn’t be a terrible idea.
