Two of the latest Netflix series with perfect 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes
Not every Netflix series can be a winner — and in fact, tons of them are objectively and ridiculously bad — but occasionally the streaming giant launches new titles or new seasons of existing shows that critics or viewers, and sometimes both, consider perfect will watch or near perfect.
The same goes for the other end of the spectrum, by the way. Quite often you see critics trashing a Netflix series that viewers love and vice versa, while it’s much rarer that they both agree that a particular series is a failure. But even that happens from time to time, like with a new release like Season 2 of sexuality/life (which, as of this writing, has a terrible 46% viewer rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an even more abysmal critic score of 21%).
In the meantime, let’s check out two fresh-episode Netflix series that recently hit the streamer and are still clinging to perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores.
Top Rated Netflix Series
Incidentally, the Netflix shows you’ll find below include a new sports documentary as well as the second half of an existing Netflix k-drama.
Full swing
comes first Full swinga sports documentary that debuted on Netflix last week and that the streamer just announced will be renewed for a second season.
The 8-episode series has a 100% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and here’s what Netflix has to say about what viewers can expect:
“Full Swing follows a diverse group of professional golfers on and off the course through a relentlessly competitive season. Golfers endure a high-stakes schedule week in and week out, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the PGA Tour. The documentary gives fans the opportunity to learn about the players through their wins and losses and to experience what it takes to compete and thrive at the highest level in men’s professional golf.”
Even casual sports fans, notes a Rotten Tomatoes reviewer, “won’t have a problem with the featured project because so many of the stories are heartfelt.”
the glory
As for that next Netflix series, the glory is a K-drama that’s also a little different from the usual fare of the genre on Netflix.
For one, it’s split into two parts, something Netflix never really does with a Korean series (Part 2 of the glory reach the service on March 10). Also, it’s built around a female lead, and it is not primarily a romance, it’s the kind of story you tend to get from Netflix’s Korean series that revolve around women. There’s also nudity – to show the main character’s physical scars – but again, it’s something out of the ordinary in a Korean Netflix series.
How Full swing, the glory also currently has a 100% critic rating on Netflix. From the Netflix description of the series:
“Song Hye-kyo, one of Korea’s best female leads, plays Moon Dong-eun, who seeks revenge on the thugs who ruined her childhood. Taking on a very different character from her previous appearances in Now, We Are Breaking Up, Encounter and That Winter, the Wind Blows, Song portrays an angry woman eager to wreak ultimate retribution on those who have tormented her – and those who didn’t lift a finger to help.“
