Netflix's content ranges from Christ-Centered (The Chosen, scored 96/100) to Avoid (Euphoria, 8/100; Bridgerton, 16/100; House of the Dragon, 10/100). The difference is not production quality — Netflix invests equally in content across the spectrum. The difference is the nine biblical signals GodlyScore measures: violence, sexualization, profanity, spiritual darkness, LGBT content, glorification of sin, deception, virtue, and redemption.
Shows scoring 70+ are generally safe for Christian families. Shows in the 50-69 range (Mixed) contain content concerns that warrant adult discernment — these are not shows for children but may have genuine value for mature Christians. Shows below 30 (Avoid) contain content that consistently glorifies sin, features heavy sexual content, or actively undermines Christian values.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Christian show on Netflix?
The Chosen (Season 1-3) scored 96/100 on GodlyScore — Christ-Centered and the highest-rated show in our database. Ted Lasso (65, Mixed) and The Mandalorian (72, Spiritually Safe) are also strong options for Christian families.
What Netflix shows should Christians avoid?
Euphoria (8/100), House of the Dragon (10/100), Bridgerton (16/100), Game of Thrones (12/100), and You (18/100) all score in the Avoid range due to graphic sexual content, extreme violence, or active glorification of sin.
Is Netflix safe for Christian families?
Netflix is a platform, not a content curator — it carries everything from Christ-Centered content to material Christians should avoid entirely. Use GodlyScore ratings to evaluate shows individually rather than making blanket judgments about Netflix as a platform.
How does GodlyScore rate Netflix shows?
GodlyScore assesses nine biblical signals for each show: violence level, sexualization, profanity, spiritual darkness, LGBT content, deception as mechanic, glorification of sin, virtue strength, and redemption arc. These signals feed an algorithm producing a 1-100 Godly Score.
