The Netflix Originals World Cup: which is the greatest show of them all

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Choosing your favorite Netflix show is like choosing your favorite child - it's almost impossible
the link is a touch tenuous but we are sticking with it
Below is a list of the best Netflix Original shows and, according to our simulation (scribbled notes on the back of a e-cigarette packet),
your number one show isn't even on the list, then just remember that below are shows in the World Cup finals, there was many a qualification
game to get here and series such as Making a Murderer and Gypsy made a short, sharp exit.Group AWINNER: Master of NoneRUNNER-UP: Sense8House
of CardsDear White PeopleWith House of Cards getting an instant red card early on in its first match, it was really only Dear White People
left to try and usurp the might of Master of None and Sense8
Master of None outwitted everyone, however, with its, er, quick wit
WorldRUNNER-UP: Marvel's The Punisher13 Reasons WhyLoveWith its 'don't give a f*** style of play, The End of the F***ing World topped its
group with ease
The Punisher qualified a close second thanks to a brutal approach to its ball handling, leaving 13 Reasons Why in a perpetual state of
teenage angst
Love, on the other hand, was too hipster to care about winning.Group CWINNER: Unbreakable Kimmy SchmidtRUNNER-UP: NarcosThe OABig MouthIf
drug tests were a thing at this World Cup then Narcos would have been swiftly disqualified
Instead it managed a respectable second in its group
It was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that ultimately topped the group, though, thanks to sheer lovely optimism
DietBloodlineEasyIt was eery to watch how well Mindhunter got into the minds and under the skin of its opposition in this group
Santa Clarita Diet took a different approach, deciding to go for the jugular more times than we'd care to mention
American SummerShe's Gotta Have ItJessica Jones was a deserved winner here, showing super strength on the pitch
Daredevil managed to sneak a couple of shots in, despite shooting blind for the most part
We have no idea what happened to Wet Hot American Summer - they were easily the youngest team on the pitch, but looked like a bunch of
wheezing 40 year olds out there.Group FWINNER: Stranger ThingsRUNNER-UP: BoJack HorsemanThe Get DownA Series of Unfortunate EventsStranger
Things turned their opposition upside down, using techniques rarely seen outside the 80s, while Bojack Horseman stayed stable right up into
the final furlong
GWINNER: GLOWRUNNER-UP: Orange Is The New BlackAltered CarbonDarkGLOW deserved to win for its kit alone but also managed to wrestle the
opposition to the ground
Orange Is The New Black had to use a few 'get out of jail free' cards but took a respectable second place
HWINNER: The CrownRUNNER-UP: Luke CageOzarkMarco PoloThe Crown had a right royal rumble in its games, putting on a performance fit for a
queen
Luke Cage's ability to smash through the defence proved fruitful but Ozark and Marco Polo promised much by dazzling at the beginning but
smattering of romance on the pitch couldn't match The Punisher for sheer brutality
This was always going to be a one-sided match, but the pummelling Master of None got was a bit too much to bear sometimes
Frank Castle is one striker everyone wants on their team.WINNER: Marvel's The PunisherSense8 v The End of the F***ing WorldSense8's
wonderful comeback wasn't enough to usurp The End of the F***ing World
The show just has too much grit and cynicism to not care about anything but winning
Although it did narrowly avoid a red card for some unnecessary existential angst near the beginning of the game.WINNER: The End of the
F***ing WorldUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt v Santa Clarita DietBrains beats unflagging optimism in what was one of the closest run battles so
far on the pitch
Kimmy Schmidt looked like a surefire bet in the first half, with some fantastically flamboyant moves from Titus Andromedon but Sheila
Hammond fought (and ate) tooth and nail to win the game in extra time.WINNER:Santa Clarita DietNarcos v MindhunterThe drugs wore off for
Narcos in the end, with a 3-0 loss to the might of Mindhunter
We don't know quite how they do it, but they seem to lure the opposition into a false sense of security, get them to bear their souls then
stick the knife in for victory
Narcos started off strong, though, with a false sense of self belief but whatever powers they had soon wore off and they were left a sniffly
mess.WINNER: MindhunterJessica Jones vs BoJack HorsemanWe don't know how this happened
Jessica Jones was sure of a place in the quarter finals, then in the last minute she completely bottled it and gave away a penalty
This gave Bojack the power to trot up to the spot and hoof one in
There was no cheering from Bojack and co, though, just a stare that seemed to last a thousand yards.WINNER: BoJack HorsemanDaredevil vs
Stranger ThingsWho you gonna call when a game gets tight Yep, you've guessed it Stranger Things
This one went into extra time but where Daredevil flagged in its second half, seemingly running out of ideas that didn't consist of magic
and ninjas, Stranger Things admirably kept the quality levels high through both halves - and even managed to win despite getting a red card
for that awful episode where they introduced the new kids.WINNER: Stranger ThingsGLOW vs Luke CageIt turns out that despite a great hip-hop
soundtrack blasting throughout the game and some impressive bullet-stopping play, Luke Cage sagged after half time, not quite sure what
style it wants to play and the end result is a KO from the gorgeous ladies of wrestling
If only Cage had his super sub alias Jessica Jones to help him through, but alas he was on his own for this one.WINNER:GLOWOrange Is The New
Black vs The CrownOne of the original Originals, Orange Is The New Black stood its ground for the majority of this game, proving to the
world that age isn't an issue when it comes to taking on the new Netflix overlords
But, this is the monarchy and they like to get their way - even if their final goal should have been ruled offside
But who really has the guts to tell the queen that they made the wrong decision No one, it seems.WINNER: The CrownQuarter finalsMarvel's The
Punisher vs Santa Clarita DietThis was a marvel to watch
The Punisher gave his all, relentlessly pursuing the ball like it was the men who killed his family
But it wasn't enough
Even the strongest hearts are covered by weak flesh and that's exactly what Santa Clarita Diet went for, chomping through bone until there
were only their feet left to kick the ball into the goal and the final whistle was called
WINNER: Santa Clarita DietThe End of the F***ing World vs MindhunterThe mind games simply didn't work this time around for Mindhunter, which
makes sense when the minds you are trying to break are that of two borderline psychotic characters
In the end, The End of the F***ing World was just too emotionless for Mindhunter to get past and all it took was one corner kick to knock
those hunters of minds out.WINNER: The End of the F***ing WorldBoJack Horseman vs GLOWPoor ol' Bojack, he has his ups and very much his
downs
His heart wasn't in this one - two goals down after 30 minutes, he had checked out and checked into rehab, mumbling something about blaming
Todd
This left GLOW to antagonise the crowd and woo them back again with their wrestling prowess.WINNER: GLOWStranger Things Vs The CrownAll
things must pass and monarchies must end but this was one of the more unusual ways
We haven't read all of the rulebook but subbing on a Demogorgon at the 70th minute certainly won Stranger Things the game - because there
were so few people standing by the end
The queen held strong but was stretchered off after 80 minutes
Prince Philip was handed a red for foul and abusive language and we're certain he'll be fined for the words that came out of his mouth
right in the semi finals, until the 80th minute
Things started fall apart when one was given a foul for a rather nasty suplex
This was much to the annoyance of their manager who had spent most of the match powdering his nose in the changing rooms
But then a lucky punt from the halfway line duped the keeper and the ball went in
After that, Santa Clarita Diet had finally lost hunger for the game.WINNER: GLOWThe End of the F***ing World vs Stranger ThingsStranger
Things won before the game even started
The police had finally caught up with The End of the F***ing World's star-crossed lovers so the match was abandoned and Stranger Things
given the win by default
While this was a brilliant result for them, surely they couldn't go on to win the the thingWINNER: Stranger ThingsThe FinalGLOW vs Stranger
ThingsFootball, bloody hell
Nothing happenes in this game for an hour, then Ruth Wilder goes all Zoya The Destroyer and angers the opposition
This was followed by a sending off for the She Wolf, after she bit Dustin
This sent Eleven into a frenzy and she managed to score three goals with her mind 10 minutes from the end
