The days of gambling on a Netflix series from reading a two-line synopsis are fast fading. As the streaming giant's library of content grows ever bigger, we rely on the recommendations of others more than ever. And who better to listen to than the expert critics at Rotten Tomatoes? The review site assigns a percentage score to every show, and there's a very select number that have achieved a perfect 100%. But if that's not enough to convince you, the handful we've picked out have also scored very highly with the audience to land them in the exclusive category of being universally acclaimed by both professionals and professional binge-watchers.
