Netflix’s award-winning Brazilian dystopian thriller, 3%, is another high-rated Rotten Tomatoes series that has been given positive reviews from critics. The show is set in a future where 20-year-old inhabitants of the impoverished area known as “Inland” have an opportunity for a chance at a better life to the more affluent “Offshore” society.

This is done through what they call “The Process,” a series of tests where unsuccessful candidates are eliminated and because it’s so difficult that only about 3% of the candidates survive, hence the name of the show. There are four seasons available of the thrilling ordeal available on Netflix to follow-up any Alice in Borderland binge session.
