There’s a lot happening on Netflix for U.S.subscribers right now, with new shows and movies still being added as we head into the final stretch of June.And while you may have already hit paydirt with The Four Seasons or you’re waiting to see what the critics say about Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You that premiered yesterday (it looks awesome), sometimes you just want a sure thing—a show that’s dazzled critics with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.
These three managed it.There's a genre-bending animated epic based on an acclaimed video game, a brutal samurai showdown, and a French horror series added for chills.Let’s do this.
3 Arcane A video game turned Emmy-winning prestige TV is my go-to suggestion I give to anyone who asks me what my ride-or-die, never-fail Netflix series is that they should watch.Simply stunning, can't-look-away-TV, is set in the dystopian world of League of Legends, but you don't need to know anything about the video game to enjoy a second of it.It's the intense, emotional story of two orphaned sisters who have been torn apart by the devastating conflict between Piltover, the shiny, golden city of privilege and power above, and Zaun, the oppressed subcity below where they live.
As the gap between the two worlds widens, powerful brawler Vi (expertly voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and the tortured and industrious Jinx (also beautifully performed by a pre- Ella Purnell) find themselves on opposite sides of the war as a strange and powerful new technology threatens to destroy everything.Quiz 8 Questions · Test Your KnowledgeWhich Netflix hit is this quote from?Trivia challengeThese lines could belong to almost any show — but only one is right.Sci-FiDramaHorrorActionMysteryBegin 01 / 8MysteryWhich show contains the line: "The darkness doesn't scare me.It never did.
It's the light that lies."AStranger ThingsBDarkCWednesdayDK-Pop Demon HuntersCorrect! This brooding line belongs to Wednesday Addams in Wednesday, perfectly capturing her gothic worldview and distrust of cheerfulness.The show leans heavily into Wednesday's sardonic philosophy, making lines like this feel entirely at home in her deadpan delivery.Not quite — this line is from Wednesday.While Dark and Stranger Things both deal heavily with darkness and fear, this particular sentiment belongs to Wednesday Addams, whose entire worldview is built on embracing shadow and suspecting the sunny side of life.Continue 02 / 8Sci-FiWhich show contains the line: "We didn't travel through time to save the world.
We traveled through time because someone had to remember it."AOne PieceBStranger ThingsCK-Pop Demon HuntersDDarkCorrect! This reflective line is from Dark, the German sci-fi thriller that made time travel feel less like adventure and more like a haunting responsibility.Dark is known for its philosophical weight, and its characters often speak about time with grief rather than wonder.Not quite — this one belongs to Dark, Netflix's mind-bending German series.Stranger Things uses time and alternate dimensions too, but Dark treats time travel as a tragic burden rather than an exciting power, and that distinction shows in lines like this one.Continue 03 / 8ActionWhich show contains the line: "I didn't come this far to be someone else's story.
I came to write my own."ASquid GameBOne PieceCWednesdayDStranger ThingsCorrect! This defiant declaration is pure Monkey D.Luffy energy from One Piece.Netflix's live-action adaptation kept the spirit of Eiichiro Oda's original manga alive, and Luffy's dream of becoming King of the Pirates fuels lines exactly like this one throughout the series.Not quite — this line is from One Piece.
Squid Game is also about survival and self-determination, but its tone is far bleaker.One Piece thrives on bold, adventurous declarations of freedom, which makes this quote a natural fit for Luffy and his crew chasing the Grand Line.Continue 04 / 8HorrorWhich show contains the line: "They don't come from another world.They come from the part of this one we buried."ADarkBK-Pop Demon HuntersCStranger ThingsDWednesdayCorrect! This line is from K-Pop Demon Hunters, where the mythology ties demonic forces directly to suppressed cultural trauma rather than alien dimensions.
The show cleverly roots its supernatural horror in the idea that what humanity represses eventually resurfaces in monstrous form.Not quite — this is from K-Pop Demon Hunters.It's easy to guess Stranger Things here since the Upside Down has similar vibes, but K-Pop Demon Hunters distinguishes itself by framing its monsters as manifestations of buried history and cultural wounds rather than extradimensional invaders.Continue 05 / 8DramaWhich show contains the line: "The rules were never meant to protect us.They were meant to protect the people who made them."ASquid GameBDarkCOne PieceDWednesdayCorrect! This line cuts to the heart of Squid Game's central critique of capitalism and systemic inequality.
The show's entire premise is built on the idea that the powerful design games — and societies — in ways that guarantee their own survival at everyone else's expense.Not quite — this one is from Squid Game.One Piece also challenges corrupt authority figures like the World Government, but Squid Game delivers this message with raw, contemporary urgency.The show uses its brutal game format as a direct metaphor for economic systems rigged against the vulnerable.Continue 06 / 8Sci-FiWhich show contains the line: "I've seen things in that lab that would make you stop believing in coincidence forever."AK-Pop Demon HuntersBWednesdayCDarkDStranger ThingsCorrect! This line belongs to Stranger Things, where Hawkins National Laboratory serves as the epicenter of government experimentation and supernatural horror.
The show repeatedly frames the lab as a place where the boundaries of science and ethics were catastrophically crossed, changing everything for the town of Hawkins.Not quite — this is from Stranger Things.While Dark also features scientific experiments with devastating consequences, the specific reference to 'that lab' points directly to Hawkins Lab, the shadowy government facility that accidentally tore open a gate to the Upside Down in season one.Continue 07 / 8MysteryWhich show contains the line: "Smiling is the costume everyone wears before they show you who they really are."ASquid GameBOne PieceCWednesdayDK-Pop Demon HuntersCorrect! Classic Wednesday Addams.This line is from Wednesday, and it captures her signature suspicion of warmth and social performance perfectly.
The show is full of her sharp, cynical observations about human behavior, delivered with the same flat affect that made the original character iconic.Not quite — this is from Wednesday.Squid Game might seem like a strong guess since it's all about masks and hidden motives, but this particular brand of dry, gothic cynicism belongs squarely to Wednesday Addams.Her entire character arc in the show involves learning — reluctantly — that not every smile hides a monster.Continue 08 / 8ActionWhich show contains the line: "Every stage you survive just means they've found a better way to kill you next time."AStranger ThingsBSquid GameCDarkDOne PieceCorrect! This line is from Squid Game, where the escalating lethality of each game is both the show's dramatic engine and its darkest joke.
Contestants quickly learn that surviving one round is never cause for relief — the next challenge is always designed to be more psychologically and physically devastating.Not quite — this one is from Squid Game.The show's genius is in how it turns children's games into elimination rounds with mounting dread.Stranger Things has its own escalating monster threats, but Squid Game makes the manufactured, deliberate cruelty of each new stage a core part of its social commentary.See My Score Challenge CompleteYour Score/ 8Thanks for playing!Try Again grips pretty much everyone who sees it, including the Television Academy, who handed eight Emmys to the production, including Outstanding Animated Program for both of its two seasons.

Desperate, hundreds of them are drawn to Kyoto for a deadly contest that dangles a life-altering prize in front of them: a ¥100,000 prize for the warrior who outlasts everyone else and reaches Tokyo alive.The series’ protagonist, Shujiro Saga (Junichi Okada), a haunted former samurai desperate to save his cholera-stricken family, reluctantly throws himself into the bloody fray.But his samurai honor compels him to join up with a small group to get to the bottom of the dodgy competition.
The 100%-rated series was widely described as a mix between and the aforementioned , and that's not a bad thing.The period detail is astounding and the battle sequences and swordplay are sprawling and incredibly choreographed.Season one is easy to binge in one sitting, and it culminates into a nailbiting cliffhanger.
