Why are some episodes or seasons in reverse order?

While most TV shows on Netflix start with the first episode and season, some titles have the seasons reversed, so you begin watching the latest season instead. This is done for series with independent seasons or ones where you don’t have to have watched earlier seasons to enjoy the latest one.

If you'd like to start with the first season, go to Episodes and more or Episodes and Info on a specific title then choose Season 1.

After completing the first season of a reverse-ordered TV show, you'll need to manually select the next season you want to watch since the default ordering may change.

Some TV shows with reverse-ordered seasons will also skip episodes that you’ve already watched within a season. You can restart these episodes or remove them from your viewing activity to watch them again.
