Netflix's 96% rated Aubrey Plaza series can be watched in one evening as viewers stream for 34 million hours

Prepare for your next binge-watch...

Netflix subscribers have been binge-watching a top-rated Aubrey Plaza series dubbed 'a masterpiece from start to finish'.

Finding your next binge-watch can prove difficult, but this show is made up of eight, 30-minute long episodes, meaning you can devour it all in one evening.

Plaza is currently starring alongside Maid's Margaret Qualley and Captain America's Chris Evans in new comedy-mystery, Honey, Don't!

The movie follows private investigator Honey O’Donahue (Qualley), who unravels a bizarre Bakersfield mystery involving cults, drugs, murder and a sleazy preacher.

And this 2023 Netflix series sees two of the three leading cast members - Plaza and Evans - reunite.

The series is a spin-off of a wildly popular 2010 film; though the former fared better with both Rotten Tomatoes fans and critics.

And what's more, between July 2023 and June 2025, the show has been streamed for more than 34.4 million hours, according to FlixPatrol.

The series stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin and Brie Larson. From those names alone, you might well already know what it is...

It follows a slacker bassist in an indie band, who falls for an enigmatic woman, but to win her love, he must face her seven evil exes.

Sounds familiar? It's the plot of 2010 hit movie, Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.

And while this series is an animated remake of the film, it also delivers several plot twists, taking viewers on a whole new journey of the universe we already know and love.

The series in question is called Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and it's been scored a stunning 96 percent by Rotten Tomatoes critics.

The critics' consensus reads: "Retaining the heart and wit of the original movie while also carving out a fresh path for itself, Scott Pilgrim takes off in the animated medium and soars."

Fans, meanwhile, rated it 85 percent across 1,000 reviews. One said: "One of the best animated shows I've seen in a long time. Takes the great story of Scott Pilgrim and flips it on its head to deliver an epic emotional journey with stunning animation."

A second agreed: "The show is a masterpiece from start to finish. Everything that can be done right was done. 100/100."

A third wrote: "I didn't expect the twists and turns; the storytelling and world building were outstanding. Let’s not forget the art style - magnificent!"

Another social media user added: "Sparks! Totally sparks! This is beautiful, and I want more, please."

Unfortunately, the show was only ever intended to run for one season, so there's no season two on the horizon.

But the fun series is ideal for your next binge-watch - so get adding it to your watch lists.
