top Netflix series in 2025, yet this overlooked treasure first appeared in 2018. It originates from one of the innovative creators behind “True Detective” and features an Oscar-winning actress alongside an Oscar-nominated actor who have shared a connection since 2007. Inspired by a Norwegian TV show from 2015, “Maniac” was transformed into an English-language adaptation by Cary Joji Fukunaga. The skilled director is recognized for directing the critically praised inaugural season of “True Detective” as well as Daniel Craig’s concluding James Bond film, “No Time To Die” (which, along with all other 007 films, is now accessible on Prime Video).
The series brought together “Superbad” actors Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, who returned as Owen Milgrim and Annie Landsberg, respectively, two individuals who join a pharmaceutical research trial. The experimentation propels both into a surreal experience that medical experts might describe as “crazy head trips.” From this point, an astonishing variety of stunning visuals envelop the series, significantly contributing to its critical success, thanks to another production featuring A-list celebrities making the uncommon leap to television.
