Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)

Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)

One of the top heist thrillers on television is Money Heist, also known as La Casa de Papel. The robbery unfolds in spectacular moments, and the characters hiding behind their masks, each dealing with their inner agony, make the series as smart as it is adrenaline-pumping.

This Netflix import from Spain is not just one of the most watched foreign programs, it has become a global phenomenon. The program follows a bunch of thieves as they plot a sophisticated robbery and has prompted fans to dress as the characters for various pranks and even attempt to replicate their schemes in real life. 

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

A criminal mastermind who goes by 'The Professor' has a plan to pull off the biggest heist in recorded history -- to print billions of euros in the Royal Mint of Spain. To help him carry out the ambitious plan, he recruits eight people with certain abilities and who have nothing to lose. The group of thieves take hostages to aid in their negotiations with the authorities, who strategize to come up with a way to capture The Professor. As more time elapses, the robbers prepare for a showdown with the police.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad

The show is action-packed and chock-full of incredibly memorable moments. This is one of the greatest TV shows to stream on Netflix for heart-pounding action, whether it's the furious shootouts, swift getaways, or even some of the little disputes that develop.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks his life can't get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth, and their teenage son is battling cerebral palsy. But Walter is dumbstruck when he learns he has terminal cancer. Realizing that his illness probably will ruin his family financially, Walter makes a desperate bid to earn as much money as he can in the time he has left by turning an old RV into a meth lab on wheels.

Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders

Few historical dramas are able to blend historical intrigue with numerous action scene pieces, and there have never been a sequence of fist bouts on television that are as gritty as those throughout the episode. The complexity of the individuals, though, is what really sells this battle.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.

Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai

Ralph Macchio and William Zabka return to the mat in the series, which premiered on YouTube while the platform was still creating original content before being picked up by Netflix. The plot reverses the roles of their characters and is set in the present. Now that Johnny has hit rock bottom, former underdog Daniel is making tons of money and is still making the most of his childhood popularity. 

Johnny's midlife crisis' solution? Clearly, reopen the dojo. A new class of karate kids must inevitably be introduced into the martial arts world, and old rivalries must be revived, resulting in a truly butt-kicking version on a classic franchise you didn't know you needed.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

Thirty four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso.

The Umbrella Academy

The Umbrella Academy

The first superhero television program on this list is different from the rest. This series, which is based on the popular comic novel, attempts to capture the heart and spirit of the source material, in contrast to many Netflix action shows that strive for a darker more gritty narrative.

Any action enthusiast should watch this show because it incorporates so many different genre genres, including talking chimpanzees, insane explosions, teleportation, superhero action, and massive extravaganza moments.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

On one day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates the Umbrella Academy and prepares his 'children' to save the world. In their teenage years, though, the family fractures and the team disbands. Fast forward to the present time, when the six surviving members of the clan reunite upon the news of Hargreeves' passing. They work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father's death, but divergent personalities and abilities again pull the estranged family apart, and a global apocalypse is another imminent threat. The series is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way.

The Witcher

The Witcher

The first fantasy show on this list was just just released for many action fans, yet despite this, it has managed to stand out among many of the other action series on Netflix thanks to the legendary battles between the monster hunter and the magical creatures that he kills.

Following a lengthy warrior who executes the contractual death of several magical animals, the original series is based on the best-selling books and video games. Due to its elaborate set pieces, the special program stands out and significantly advances the sword and sorcery genre.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

The witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world in which people often prove more wicked than beasts.

Daybreak

Daybreak

High school is difficult because of the cliques, popularity competitions, and bullies there. But if those years took place in a post-apocalyptic setting with rampaging zombies, we'd probably choose to enjoy the trivial things instead. Zombies are the reality in Netflix's Daybreak, providing for a delightfully ludicrous premise for a show. 

Daybreak is a Brian Ralph comic book adaption that centers on Josh, a youngster searching for his fiancée along with a group of other strange, lost teenagers in the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Imagine how the football team, cheer squad, and others would band together and react to flesh-eating beasts. It's all very pompous, but that adds to the fun by raising the stakes in a typical, rudimentary high school atmosphere.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

Navigating a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies and 'Mad Max'-style gangs, a teenage outcast searches for his lost love.

Frontier

Frontier

Frontier is an exhilarating Netflix and Discovery Channel Canada co-production about the (literally) terrible 18th-century North American fur trade, and it serves as a showcase for the charming violence that only Jason Momoa can summon. The action series is more like breezy syndicated entertainment like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys than it is like Momoa's star-making Game of Thrones, but if you squint just right, you'll think that's Khal Drogo himself chopping off that poor sap's ear.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

There's money to be made in the fur trade in the 1700s, which is why Declan Harp is trying to get a piece of it. The outlaw trapper is leading a campaign to breach the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on fur in Canada. Lord Benton, on the other hand, is bent on restoring the company's stranglehold on fur and is on a mission to stamp out Harp, who turns to an old ally when bounty hunters close in on him. Harp eventually devises an elaborate scheme to plunder Hudson's Bay and set a trap for Benton.

Kingdom

Kingdom

Kingdom, a zombie historical drama set in the Korean Joseon era, combines political intrigue and biological dread. In Kingdom, which is based on the webcomic series The Kingdom of the Gods by Kim Eun-hee and Yang Kyung-il, Crown Prince Yi Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) is forced to look into the undead epidemic that is afflicting the southern provinces as well as his father, the present emperor. He must prevent a coup headed by those looking to capitalize on the crisis while seeking to stop its progress and stop it from reaching the capital. Kingdom, the first Korean-made original series on Netflix, offers a unique historical perspective on the clichéd zombie horror.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

The deceased king rises and a mysterious plague begins to spread; the prince must face a new breed of enemies to unveil the evil scheme and save his people.

Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones

One of Marvel's darker films, Jessica Jones centers on a young lady whose time as a superhero was tragically cut short. Soon later, Jessica relocates to New York City and launches her own detective firm as a way to give back to the community. Jessica's top objective is keeping herself afloat each month rather than, like most superheroes, saving the world.

For fans of superheroes searching for something a little darker than the storylines involving most of Marvel's archetypal heroes, as well as for anyone with a taste for noir, this sad yet captivating series will offer an addictive plot. A third season is anticipated to premiere on Netflix later this year.

Rotten Tomatoes Official Plot:

A chronicle of the life of one of the darker Marvel characters, the mysterious Jessica Jones. When a tragedy puts an end to her short-lived career as a superhero, Jessica settles in New York City and opens her own detective agency, called Alias Investigations, which seems to be called into cases involving people who have special abilities. Suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, Jessica wants to do good, but her primary interest isn't in saving the world, it's saving her apartment and getting through each day. Based on a graphic novel intended for adults, this is not a superhero story for the kids.
