Underrated: I would probably go with Anne with an E. I knew the story of Anne of green cables and I saw previous take on it but this one felt fresh and different. The actors are fantastic and the writing top notch. It reminded me of shows I used to love as a kid like "Road to Avonlea" but with more edge to it.I hope it will stay there, there are so little shows like that.

Overrated : I think Stranger Things might be overrated. I loved the first season but the second season just was not as good for me and the popularity of the show is reflected on the writing. I still like it but I cant stop feeling that it will eventually jump the shark and be the victim of it's own success.

Worst: That new show "Champion" is terrible. Terrible writing, 2 dimensional characters. Just an awful show.

Underrated: Let me think, as most Netflix stuff is overhyped...

Overrated:

Stranger Things takes top spot. It's just a kids series that simply panders to nostalgists, even those who absurdly never lived through that time period. Watch any of the movies referenced and you're reminded just how big a gap there is between those movies and this TV show...

Most of their shows are overrated, but it seems they really pushed the marketing for Stranger Things...

Worst:

Probably the documentaries... Most are very poorly made, propaganda style and very narrow in their point of view. They pale in comparison to the averagd documentary on PBS, Frontline, BBC and such... Nevermind comparing them to proper documentaries like Senna, Cocain Cowboys, or any of Alex Gibney's documentaries...

Underrated Series: Sense 8. I know some will argue that Sense 8 is still quite mainstream. But it is not as popular as 13 reasons why or stranger things. I hate how they had to end the series in such a hurry with a 2-hour episode. It diluted the experience of watching the series.

Overrated Series: IMO, 13 Reasons Why is the most overrated series on Netflix. And their Season 2 was so terrible that I couldn't even watch it beyond 2 episodes.

Worst Series: Also 13 Reasons Why! They are making season 3 I think. Definitely staying away from that.

Underrated : Bojack Horseman. Fans love it but no one talks about it out in the real world. Everyone has heard of Stranger Things but when I bring up Bojack, blank stares; people have never heard of it.
Runner up: Atypical. I liked it so much I watched it twice.

Overrated : The Ranch. The first season was possibly the worst tv series I've ever seen. Bad acting, bad writing, not funny. The only reason I put it here instead of "worst" is because it got 3 seasons.

Worst: American Vandal. I keep trying to get into it and just can't. The main character is so awful I want him to be punished whether guilty or not. And the overall mystery isn't very interesting.

I agree with you about Bojack Horseman. The fact that it is not more popular is beyond me!

It's not more popular because its incredibly stupid

My wife loved Anne with an E, I on the other hand wanted to take a baseball bat to her.
