The year 2016 has been a good year (if not great) for TV shows fanatics. Across the genres, whether it’s drama, fantasy, adventure or crime, there have been hits and misses. But if there is one network which is a consistent hitter, it has to be Netflix. Here’s a list of Netflix shows which managed to strike a chord with the audience and became an instant rage:
