"It's crazy to remember it's only been about seven years since Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu began making original series. From the humble beginnings of shows like "Lilyhammer," "Alpha House," and "Battleground," the industry has witnessed a massive seismic shift — a complete explosion of the very concept of how we approach "television."
Today, these platforms have added literally hundreds of shows to the TV landscape, which inspired IndieWire to evaluate and rank the 50 best that have debuted since those early days. From terrifying dystopias to intimate relationships, these are series which have made the most of opportunities presented by the distribution revolution — and transformed them into great storytelling."
