The 15 Best Netflix Originals of 2015

If you felt like it was harder than ever this year to keep up with Netflix Originals, you were not alone. The leading streaming service released 65 original programs during the calendar year 2015 —that’s more than 1 per week!— spanning the gamut from dramatic series to documentaries, from stand-up specials to all-star sketch comedy reunions. If you think that’s a lot, wait until next year: Netflix will be doubling their output in 2016.

With any luck, hopefully you and yours will have a bit of downtime this week to relax. What better time to catch up on the Best of 2015? We know that no one, not even Ted Sarandos, has time to watch EVERYTHING that Netflix released in 2015, so here’s our list of the 15 most essential things that you shouldn’t skip. Happy streaming!
