It is hard to classify the ability of a show to frighten its viewers as good or bad. But if the show is meant to incite fear among its viewers then it is definitely a virtue and must be treated like that. There are a lot of shows available on Netflix and the genres of those shows vary vastly, but there is always something that separates a few shows from the others. For example, the fact that some shows, while not belonging to the horror genre entirely, can give their viewers a good scare. Let’s discuss the five Netflix shows which had their viewers scared at some point.
