The best series of all time

Ranked by rating across the catalog.

Some series earn their place by building a world you keep returning to. This set crosses continents — a Cantonese family sitcom, a 1978 Brazilian soap comedy, a Thai office rivals-to-lovers drama, a multigenerational Hong Kong magazine company, a Bangladeshi city-life comedy, a coastal caravan-park thriller — united by confident premises and characters whose contradictions sustain them. Die Oord, Bachelor Point, Enemies With Benefits: different settings, the same pull.

Best series of all time

Frequently asked

Where should I start with this list if I'm new to international TV?

Die Oord is an easy entry point — its coastal caravan-park setup turns dark quickly and the premise is immediately clear. Bachelor Point works equally well if you'd rather start with character-driven comedy.

What do these series have in common despite coming from such different places?

Each one commits to a clear premise and a defined world — whether that's the double life hiding in plain sight in Te Contei? or feuding department heads forced into a secret arrangement in Enemies With Benefits. The characters' contradictions, not the plots, are what sustain them.

Are there any workplace series in this collection?

Yes — Enemies With Benefits centers on the Head of Sales and Head of Accounting, rivals who end up in a secret friends-with-benefits pact. Off Pedder follows office politics and romantic relationships inside a magazine company, using the workplace as the stage for most of its drama.
