If you're faced with Netflix's vast catalogue and don't know where to begin when it comes to choosing a new TV show to watch, let RT's experts help.

Based on Miles Franklin’s classic novel, six-part Australian period drama My Brilliant Career follows aspiring writer Sybylla Melvyn as she fights for independence in 1900s Australia while navigating family expectations and romance. Philippa Northeast and Christopher Chung lead a compelling coming-of-age story.

Following the recent sad news of the death of Hayden Panettiere, why not revisit her star turn as cheerleader Claire in landmark sci‑fi drama Heroes. An edgy saga of superhuman types, it follows ordinary people across the globe who discover extraordinary powers and must unite to avert catastrophic futures. Also featuring Milo Ventimiglia and Zachary Quinto, it's a heady mix of superhero spectacle and character-driven storytelling.

For many TV fans, things don't get much better than a Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss adaptation, and the former Doctor Who pair's three-part version of iconic horror tale Dracula provides a fascinating modern update on the story. The series stars Claes Bang as the titular monster, with Dolly Wells giving an impressive turn in the expanded role of Sister Agatha. With plenty of scares, compelling performances and no shortage of tooth-related puns, it's another triumph from the team that gave us Sherlock.

In How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee returns with a tale of friendship, fire and fatalities. Roisin Gallagher, Sinead Keenan and Caoilfhionn Dunne play three old school pals who reunite at a funeral — but it’s also old secrets they’re hoping to bury...

Heartwarming coming-of-age drama Heartstopper follows the romance between Nick and Charlie as they navigate friendship, identity and first love. Starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke, the story has now reached its conclusion with the recent arrival of the feature-length finale Heartstopper Forever, so there's no better time to dip in.

There's also acclaimed drama The Woman in the Wall starring Ruth Wilson, who plays a woman who was incarcerated in a convent aged just 15 and whose baby was taken from her. Years later, as she suffers from extreme bouts of sleepwalking, she wakes one day to find a corpse in her house - unsure if she is the murderer.

And there are still plenty of other options available on the platform. As well as celebrated hits such as Stranger Things, The Crown and Black Mirror, you could try fantastical horror Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, gritty Norwegian crime drama Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole or stylish thriller The Beast in Me.
