Netflix is a bounty of entertaining content. The platform has produced countless original series over the years, but only a select few from the streaming service's massive library have managed to feel genuinely near-perfect from beginning to end. Whether through consistently gripping pacing, emotionally layered storytelling, breathtaking visuals, or unforgettable characters, those select few are some of Netflix's most rewarding series that should honestly be consistently shared with others.

Naruto is one of the most memorable and iconically influential series ever created. The shōnen anime follows the young ninja Naruto Uzumaki (Maile Flanagan), who is ostracized by his village for carrying the Nine-Tailed Fox within him, as he strives to earn the respect of his village and become the Hokage. The beloved classic delivers incredible storytelling across countless episodes and carries overwhelming cultural clout; still, being iconic does not automatically make it untouchable. Quite a few animated series have definitely managed to surpass the beloved action anime in one way or another.

Netflix has been an ever-growing, extensive hub for fantastic action films over the years. Many were instant hits upon release, while others had only a brief stint of popularity—or none at all—before fading out of most conversations. Some of those forgotten action movies count as Netflix's finest, delivering top-tier performances, thrilling action, and consistently entertaining storytelling.
