Miniseries are the perfect balance between the worlds of cinema and television, bringing the high production values of movies to TV’s long-form storytelling. As a result, these shows deliver a level of detail and complexity that film just can’t match while providing consistent quality that’s hard to achieve with a multi-season narrative. Unsurprisingly, Netflix is home to several great miniseries, but only a handful of them can be called true masterpieces. A high-budget, star-studded production isn’t enough to earn that title; it’s a term that can only be applied to a work of art that’s perfect in every way possible. It’s a high standard but, as these projects have proven, not an impossible one. Read on to discover our selection of the most brilliant miniseries you can stream right now on Netflix.
