hosts and judges of great british baking show — The Great British Baking Show
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 100%
The greatest British baking sensation comes to American audiences via Netflix. This cooking competition show takes a totally different approach from its loud American cousins; this one's patient, dare I say even gentle? But the personalities and the confections are still every bit as satisfying as those fast-paced kitchen competitions.

But TBH, the real makeovers happen on the inside in this tear-jerking and soul-affirming makeover show.

It took Netflix a while, but the streaming giant has finally conquered the world of reality TV. Don’t get it twisted–Netflix still knows how to turn out an engrossing drama, riveting crime doc, and ridiculous comedy. But now, in addition to churning out binge-worthy scripted series like The Haunting of Hill House and Russian Doll, Netflix now trends with its lineup of unscripted hits.

Not only do these shows entertain us, they also teach us about the world around us and even who we are on the inside. Food, travel, self-care–these shows take us from the kitchens of New Orleans to the nuclear disaster sites of Japan, with stops in Atlanta, Georgia and England just for kicks.

Whether you’re in the mood for something uplifting, something hilarious, or something deeply unsettling, Netflix has a reality show waiting for you to dive in and binge.
