10 Underrated Miniseries of the Past 10 Years That Are Secretly Masterpieces
When it comes to miniseries, the public tends to choose either those produced by Ryan Murphy or those associated with the MCU, completely ignoring a plethora of other interesting smaller shows.
Of course, sometimes underrated miniseries get the recognition they deserve (yes, "The White Lotus," we're looking at you), but the format as a whole has certainly seen better days.
Here are 10 of the most underrated drama miniseries of the last decade, ranked:
As you scroll through this list, you'll probably notice that each of the miniseries mentioned above features pretty big stars in the lead roles, which may seem a bit confusing given the underrated status of the show.
The thing is, the era of Peak TV has become so powerful that it's basically impossible to convince the public that a show starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant is worth watching when there are other shows premiering at the same time with no less famous people in the lead roles.
However, the projects on this list have managed to stand out even in our age of excess, capturing the attention of critics but unfortunately not attracting enough viewers to become true hits. Luckily, all of them will be available to stream in 2024, and that's exactly what you'll be doing if you crave a quick binge of worthwhile drama.
Here's the list of all the miniseries mentioned here: And Then There Were None (2015), Too Old to Die Young (2019), Defending Jacob (2020), The Undoing (2020), The New Pope (2020), It's A Sin (2020), Halston (2021), Scenes From a Marriage (2021), The Offer (2022), Irma Vep (2022).
