The show’s Francis Underwood, a Democrat appointed Secretary of State, is played by the since-exonerated Kevin Spacey. Few television characters in history are more petty and cunning.

6. Master of None
One of the best pieces of the 2010s trend of auteur-driven TV was Aziz Ansari’s Master of None.

After a lengthy hiatus, it made a disappointing return last year with a story about Denise that was reminiscent of Scenes From a Marriage but nonetheless hinted that Ansari and Waithe still had ambition.

- Runtime: 25 Episodes
- Ratings: @Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | @IMDB: 8.2/10

The same-named novel served as the inspiration for this Netflix original series. After being forced to switch from business attire to prison orange, Chapman navigates the correctional system and gets used to life in jail by making friends with the many eccentric, outlandish, and surprising characters she meets.

BoJack wants to restore his dignity 18 years later. He sets out to make it happen with the help of a human sidekick and a feline ex-girlfriend who serves as his agent.
