Top 8 Best Original Web Series You Should Not Miss不可错过的八大原创网剧

Netflix is a cultural Rorschach test1. In addition to being a revolution of the way we watch movies and television， it’s a prestige factory that’s helping to bring Oscar-quality entertainment to your home.  Here are 8 of the best of them.

1. Russian Doll

Nadia （Natasha Lyonne， who also co-created the series） is a game developer stuck in a time loop that keeps killing her and depositing her back at her own birthday party. If you roll your eyes at Groundhog Day situations， roll them back， because this incredibly inventive take from Lyonne， Leslye Headland， and Amy Poehler is deeply funny， strange， sad， and celebratory all at once. One woman’s existential crisis is our binge-worthy2 content. As a bonus， Harry Nilsson’s “Gotta Get Up” will be permanently stuck in your brain.

2. Dear White People

Based on his （also excellent） 2014 feature， Justin Simien takes us back to prestigious Winchester University， where social justice bard3 Samantha White （Logan Browning） navigates the growing pains of collegiate romance and friendship while trying to make her classmates recognize the social div-isions at their school. The show has faithfully delivered outrageous humor with its singular4 blend of satire and soap opera.

3. GLOW

Anchored5 by Alison Brie， Betty Gilpin， and a stellar ensemble cast， GLOW follows a group of women who launch a wrestling show backed by a trust fund kid6 and a cranky cult7 horror director （brilliantly played by Marc Maron）. It scored laughs from how awkward everything was early on， but the show really sailed when Brie and her cohorts8 began to fully own the weird， wonderful spandex9 assault they were creating. Now it’s about keeping that show， their group， and their personal lives intact.

4. I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

Tim Robinson is a Saturday Night Live alum whose sketch show couldn’t be further from that mainstay’s sens-ibilities. Where SNL is the McDonald’s of comedy， I Think You Should Leave is the hole-in-the-wall place only you and your friends love because it keeps changing the menu with new dishes you can’t get anywhere else. It’s fair to call the show outlandish10， but its comic brilliance stems from the simplicity of its setups and the deranged lengths that the characters go to in order to stick with that premise.

5. BoJack Horseman

It’s the silly cartoon show here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff. Like emo music for grownups， Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Lisa Hanawalt’s brilliant series focuses on the addiction， self-loathing， and career envy of its titular11 anti-hero as he attempts to crawl out of the cheesy ’80s sitcom stardom of his past and into something more respected. No other show can get away with this many animal puns while exploring the depths of despair that result from trying to fill a bottomless pit in your soul.

6. Sense8

Eight strangers living all over the world discover they are emotionally connected to each other. They can feel what others in their cluster are feeling and can communicate with each other despite physical separation. Teaming with comic book and screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski， the Wachowskis have pulled another big-think， sci-fi rabbit out of their hats with this globe-trotting12 thriller. When they’re not running from a mysterious entity bent on their destruction， the fascinatingly diverse crew of connected characters break down everything you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table. So maybe we should be talking about them around the dinner table？

7. Orange is the New Black

Jenji Kohan found a perfect follow-up to Weeds with this adaptation of Piper Kerman’s memoir about a young suburban woman going to a minimum-security prison. The fish-out-of-water comedy13 only lasts as long as it takes for the show to blossom into a gorgeous， emotional roller coaster that shines the spotlight on all of its women—from the surly cook Red （Kate Mulgrew） to the sweet/troubled Crazy Eyes （Uzo Aduba）—to humanize them beyond the personas they adopt to survive. The show is a hilarious self-peeling onion， tears and all.

8. Astronomy Club

Within the first two minutes of Astronomy Club， a talking garlic bulb shoots a gun at Dracula and shouts “Tryin’ get this money in 2020， baby！” Fortunately， it gets weirder. This sketch show from some Upright Citizens Brigade alums is framed around a fake reality show that wisely lets us get to know these new performers while mocking every Real World descendant and the cast themselves. The comedy ranges from self-aware and absurdist to straightforward and even socially-conscious， and it all blends together smoothly. A one-of-a-kind winner.
