Netflix's 28 original drama films, ranked from worst to best

The company recently announced that it will be releasing 80 original films in 2018, including high-profile movies from the likes of Will Smith and Martin Scorsese.

Among Netflix's recent original drama releases, films like the new Noah Baumbach dramedy, "The Meyerowitz Stories," and the Stephen King adaptation "1922" (out this Friday) have garnered universal critical acclaim.

To find out which Netflix drama films are worth watching, we turned to the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to rank each release by its composite critical reception. We excluded films that didn't have enough reviews to receive a designation of "Rotten" or "Fresh." We also included and footnoted upcoming films that have already screened for critics, like the Oscar-contender "Mudbound."
