Bridgerton
Bridgerton premiered on Netflix in December 2020, developed by Chris Van Dusen under producer Shonda Rhimes's Shondaland production company, adapting Julia Quinn's series of Regency-era romance novels into a lavishly produced period drama with deliberately colorblind casting and a modern, string-quartet-covered pop soundtrack. The series became one of Netflix's most-watched original series ever within weeks of its release, and its success was widely credited with driving a broader surge of mainstream interest in the historical romance novel genre, with numerous authors and publishers reporting significant sales increases following the show's debut. Bridgerton's deliberate anachronisms — including its pop-song orchestral covers and racially diverse casting within a fictionalized version of Regency London high society — represented a genuinely different approach to historical drama than the strict period accuracy most competing shows in the genre had pursued. Bridgerton's combination of Shondaland's producing pedigree, its record-setting Netflix viewership, and its role in driving mainstream popular interest in historical romance fiction has made it one of the platform's most commercially significant original series.
VS
Ozark
Ozark premiered on Netflix in July 2017, created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, starring Jason Bateman as a financial planner who relocates his family to Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks after a money-laundering scheme for a Mexican drug cartel goes wrong, forcing him into an escalating cycle of criminal entanglement. Bateman, previously known primarily for comedic roles, also directed numerous episodes across the series' four-season run, and his performance alongside Laura Linney as his increasingly ruthless wife drew significant critical acclaim and multiple Emmy nominations and wins across the show's run. The series became one of Netflix's most consistently high-performing original dramas by internal viewership metrics, and its Ozarks lake-region setting, though largely filmed in Georgia, helped drive a genuine tourism interest in the actual Lake of the Ozarks region in Missouri following the show's popularity. Ozark's combination of Jason Bateman's genre-shifting lead performance and directing work and its sustained multi-season viewership success has made it one of Netflix's most critically and commercially significant original crime dramas.
