One of the 183 relatively recent Netflix Originals, in 2024, has got the critic-favourite label, generally known as Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh.
Now that it is past the mid-point of 2024, this is the appropriate period to examine outstanding films and new TV programs as given by the reviewers of highest repute. We shall begin with those eleven programs that are acclaimed among all as the Certified Fresh but also go through those other ones with a score equal to or more than 85%.”
A few disclaimers for this list: Rotten Tomatoes pay attention to so few of Netflix’s international releases despite their reviews from numerous websites. Consequently, even though these titles are reviewed, they often lack the number of reviews required for them to be Certified Fresh. To remedy against this we have added every title rated 85% and above in this list. Most people use Rotten Tomatoes though not without flaws.
In brief, this is how Certified Fresh works: A TV series is required to have twenty reviews; all of which must be above seventy-five percent for the whole series to be nominated. Once awarded, it remains subject to regular scrutiny and can be revoked if its rating goes below sixty-eight-nine percent.
