Looking back on 2018, it’s wild to see how far we’ve come and – somewhat terrifyingly – how much we’ve binge-watched. This year Netflix really went above and beyond to deliver us new shows and movies, and there’s no denying we spent a solid chunk of time perched in front of our screens devouring all the new content.

We scored a tonne of new original rom-coms (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, Set It Up, The Kissing Booth) – two of which starred everyone’s ideal boyfriend Noah Centineo.

We were terrified of The Haunting of Hill House, we cackled out loud watching Big Mouth, and we stared in wonder as Richard Madden graced our screens in Bodyguard.

I mean, THIS was the year that introduced us to Queer Eye’s Antoni, Tan, Karamo, Bob and Jonathan. Yes, we only met our beloved new fab five in 2018. Can you believe?!!

Today Netflix has unveiled its annual wrap-up of the year that was, and in the mix is a list of the top 10 shows that users binge-watched in 2018.
