The series market is growing and thriving. In the meantime, the term “binge-watching” has become more and more commonplace. The highly competitive market of streaming services has helped the series trend to gain momentum. In March 2020, Disney+ entered the race as a new competitor to market leaders Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Contrary to what many would expect, Disney+ doesn’t just offer cute little Pixar characters. Below we take a look at the 10 best Disney+ series.
