Netflix had a mixed bag with fantasy series in 2021. While shows like Cursed were canceled after one season, the streamer had a hit with Sweet Tooth, a show about a half-human half-deer boy living in a post-apocalyptic world. Season 2 has been ordered.
Snowpiercer is the TV show based on the Bong Joon-ho movie of the same name, and was a big hit while the world was talking about his film Parasite. Season 2, however, proved the show about a post-apocalyptic train could run on its own steam.
In the U.S., Netflix may have lost Friends to HBOMax, but subscribers across the world can still watch the adventures of Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica and Joey on the streamer. Even 25 years later, it seems this show, as Chandler would say, could not BE any more popular.
This year has seen other streamers like Disney+ bring out their intellectual property big guns, hoping familiar characters will tempt you away from Netflix. Netflix countered by buying the rights to make shows about big properties like League of Legends. The result is the animated fantasy Arcane.
Another fantasy hit of 2021 was Shadow and Bone, Netflix's adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's dense fantasy world of magic, shadowy realms and young adult heroes locked in generational wars. After the success of the first season, Season 2 starts filming in Budapest, Hungary, in January 2022.
Many non-Netflix originals are popular on the platforms, but few genres do as well as telenovelas – something about the long seasons and the wild plot twists make them perfectly bingeable. Another telenovela was the most-watched, butPasión de Gavilanes (Hidden Passion) was also a big hit.
Certain commentators love to complain about so-called "cancel culture" and how "woke mobs" are stopping shows getting seen, but Behind Her Eyes proves them all wrong. The astral projection drama remains on Netflix despite being called out by dozens of publications for its homophobic ending.
Viewing numbers may be way down on Riverdale on The CWin the U.S., but the show remains a big international hit, making top 10s across the world every time a new episode drops. An audacious Season 6 that killed off a number of characters continued this trend.
Netflix provides much for many people, but one of its under-reported functions is as an unofficial babysitter. The autoplay function means frazzled parents can sit their kids in front of Paw Patroland know that the service will keep serving them endless doggy dilemmas to keep them quiet.
One of Netflix's biggest shows, Sex Education,came back for Season 3 in 2021. The new season saw the show starting the creak under the weight of too many characters, but that didn't stop it becoming one of the year's hits – and it didn't stop Season 4 being ordered.

- Bo Burnham: Inside. Yeah, I feel like sh*t! Among the more impressive pandemic projects to hit the market, Bo Burnham: Inside is an unconventional comedy special that takes a painfully precise look at the traumatic experience of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Bad Trip. Revel in the ridiculousness of Bad Trip. Brought to you by three of the dudes behind The Eric André Show, this mostly improvised romantic-comedy stars Eric André as Chris, a hopeless romantic seeking a second chance with his high school crush.
- Sweet Tooth. "Sweet Tooth" has some of the best special effects of Netflix's year. Sweet Tooth was a surprisingly fantastical addition to the Netflix lineup this year, and its big bet on childlike wonder paid off in spades.
- Sir. First-time feature director Rohena Gera sticks the landing with 2018's Sir, which only released in cinemas in November 2020 and hit Netflix early in 2021.
