Not everyone has the time or the patience to watch a series with more than five seasons. Luckily, there are a lot of titles that have only one season but manage to tell a well-written story. Here are some you can watch on Netflix.
1. 'The Queen's Gambit'
It follows the story of a young girl, Beth Harmon who ends up in an orphanage after his mother dies in a car accident. It's where she meets the custodian, Mr. Shaibel, who teaches her how to play chess. It wasn't long before she found herself enthralled by the board game.
At just a young age, she discovers that she is very good at the game and even manages to beat older opponents who have been playing and studying the game longer than she has. Even with the circumstances she was dealt, Beth tries to become the best in the field of chess.
2. 'Baby Reindeer'
Still currently talked about on social media, "Baby Reindeer" is a show that was inspired by a true story of a woman who became obsessed with a man who showed her kindness. The obsession eventually became more of a concern than a nuisance.
Martha Scott, the woman who was stalking the comedian Donny Dunn, starts to send thousands of emails, harass the people in Donny's life, and even follows him home. While the ending seems predictable, it actually ends with a shocking twist that viewers did not expect.
3. 'Beef'
Having won the Writers Guild of America Awards for Best Limited Series, the TV show starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong captured the interest of its viewers as a simple road rage incident unfurled into unimaginable chaos.
The series dives deeper into what drove both of their actions, with each one having their own issues linked to their current social and financial standing. The show pulls you in as demonstrates how simple road rage leads to events like kidnappings and even gruesome deaths.
4. 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story'
The historical fiction TV series serves as a prequel to the ongoing show, "Bridgerton," which means that you won't have to watch the base series to understand it apart from a few present-day scenes.
It tells the story of Queen Charlotte and King George of England, which was inspired by the true story of the historical figures of the same name. Some fans of the franchise even said that the spin-off tugged at their hearts more than "Bridgerton."
5. 'Midnight Mass'
Another show created by Mike Flanagan, who is known for his horror work, "Midnight Mass" takes place on an island that is small enough for everyone to know each other. It begins with a man, Riley Flynn who returns to his town after serving in prison for killing a girl in a drunk-driving accident.
Not long after, the arrival of a priest begins to be the talk of the people, along with the bizarre things happening on the island like many dead cats washing up on shore. Residents of the island then experience supernatural occurrences, ones they are unaware are the beginning of a darker ending.
