Netflix has given us some groundbreaking TV shows that have revolutionized the way we watch TV by introducing the binge-watching model. Releasing entire seasons at once keeps people watching, but one potential pitfall of long-running series is the risk of having a bad episode that nearly ruins the entire show . This is why even masterpiece TV shows can occasionally have bad moments.

On the other hand, miniseries allow for the opportunity to create a masterpiece TV show without a single bad episode. Many are as good as any blockbuster movie, given enough time to tell a story but not run on too long. Many of the best Netflix TV shows of all time are shorter shows, and many of them are a solid 10/10 each episode.
