Netflix continues to churn out an impressive lineup of original content in 2020, earning 21 Emmy wins (second behind HBO’s 30 wins) and releasing critically-acclaimed series like Season 4 of The Crown, the terrifying Haunting of Bly Manor, and the second season of its bonkers adaptation of The Umbrella Academy graphic novels.
Below, we compiled a list of Netflix's best-reviewed shows in 2020, using Metacritic as our barometer. According to Metacritic, which grades on a scale of 0 to 100, "we carefully curate a large group of the world’s most respected critics, assign scores to their reviews, and apply a weighted average to summarize the range of their opinions. The result is a single number that captures the essence of critical opinion in one Metascore. Each movie, game, television show, and album featured on Metacritic gets a Metascore when we've collected at least four critics' reviews."
