Netflix's ever-growing repertoire means that there's something for everyone, but it also means a seemingly endless list of media that can be intimidating. If you have as much trouble choosing what to watch as us, look no further. We've locked down the best show per each genre on Netflix so that you can just jump to whatever you like best and find the next show to curl up in bed with.

Comedy - The Office

Can you believe there are still people who haven't seen The Office? As surprising as it may seem, it's true, and if you are one of those people, let this be your final push towards checking out the TV comedy classic. If you're usually turned off by sitcoms, don't let that stop you - The Office is no regular sitcom, and its deadpan humor makes for jokes that are still being echoed by people all over the world years later. Seriously, don't wait any longer. Watch The Office. Right now. Go.

Drama - Orange Is the New Black

Another popular title, this show is full of both humor and drama, following the lead Piper as she enters the twisted world of women's prison. Dark and light and full of twists, it has a character for everyone to love. It also has LGBT representation in it if that is something you look for, and if not it's very enjoyable regardless. The show also sheds some light on the real issues US prisons face, and how the inmates have to deal with most of them by themselves. It also doesn't help that the opening song is absolutely killer.

Crime - Narcos

Following the path of Colombian drug cartels, this show is dark, gritty and marvelously twisty. It's based on the true story of Pablo Escobar. If you like high-stakes drama, hedonism and crime shows, Narcos is perfect for you. The show is also non-stop action, so you don't need to worry about falling asleep during a late-night binge. A little bit Breaking Bad, a little bit The Heist, Narcos is sure to be enjoyable by fans of nitty-gritty crime.

Supernatural - American Horror Story

With seven seasons American Horror Story could intimidate a more casual viewer, but not to worry. Each season stands on its own two feet as an independent horror telling. Though intended for mature audiences, American Horror Story can be enjoyed by anyone over fifteen with enough spunk to stand up to the creeptastic show it puts on. Plus, did we mention it has an amazing soundtrack? Because it does.

Superheroes - Luke Cage

Marvel's Luke Cage is one of the most critically acclaimed shows available on Netflix right now, and for good reason. Based on the comic book hero of the same name, it's set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) - which is a selling point in of itself - and takes place in Harlem, New York. The line Cage toes between hero and villain is the most compelling part of the series, so if you're a fan of grey morality and tough choices, Luke Cage is definitely going to enrapture you.

Food - Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

Though Anthony Bourdain's passing was a tragic loss both for the food scene and the world in general, his legacy lives on through this travel and food show he filmed from 2013 to his death. If you're a foodie and love seeing different cultures' takes on dishes, this show is perfect for you. Anthony Bourdain is also a pleasant host, with a voice many find soothing and commentary that sheds fascinating light on both the history and the make-up of the dishes shown on screen.
