Netflix started out as a mail-order DVD service in the 1990s and has grown into a popular streaming service, with its own original programming and original movies. It also has co-production deals with many other studios, and, in North America, it can distribute programming from other countries whose programs might not be available in the US and/or Canada.

Rotten Tomatoes is a popular site where reviewers can submit reviews for movies and television programs, and fans can also submit their own ratings. Though a number of Netflix's most popular shows and movies sit just shy of 100% – like The OA, Stranger Things, Santa Clarita Diet, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and many others – there are still numerous Netflix shows and movies that do sit at 100%, even if they don't have a lot of reviews. While a show or movie can have 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with only one review, another can have 99% with over a dozen reviews. There are also shows and movies that end up having a lot of negative reviews and can have a higher audience score, or have negative reviews across the board.

Rotten Tomatoes has become a popular site for people to get a general consensus about how a movie or show has fared over a multitude of sources. Opinions can vary greatly, but generally speaking, it's fairly reliable in terms of getting an overall idea about some of the things that can be expected from whatever it is you are interested in watching. With this list, we're taking a look at some of the Netflix originals, and programs that have been picked up by the steaming service, that have at least 100% on RT, as well as those that have some of the lowest scores. However, it's important to keep in mind that scores on Rotten Tomatoes can change over time as new reviews and ratings are placed.

With that said, here are the 12 Netflix Originals With 100% On Rotten Tomatoes (And 8 Worst).

RIVER (100%)

Created by Abi Morgan and starring Stellan Skarsgård, Nicola Walker, and Adeel Akhtar, River is a show from the UK that aired on Netflix and BBC One. It focuses on John River (Stellan Skarsgård), a detective who sees deceased people -- a lot. However, whether they're really ghosts, or “manifests” as he calls them, is at times a matter of interpretation. While they occasionally have some otherworldly traits, the series seems to define them as mental manifestations.

Throughout the series, John tries to find out who ended the life of his partner. It's eventually revealed (though it's apparent from the beginning) that he was in love with her. The show received great reviews and currently has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 95% audience score.

EXTINCTION (40%)

Extinction was directed by Ben Young, written by Spencer Cohen, Brad Kane, and Eric Heisserer, and stars Michael Pena, Lizzy Caplan, and Mike Colter. Extinction starts out as an alien invasion movie that takes a turn when it's revealed that things aren't exactly as they seem.

When an engineer has recurring nightmares about an invasion, his attempts to warn others are ignored. Then the invasion happens, almost exactly as it did in his dreams – but some important details are vastly different. As things progress, it turns out that the situation is more complicated than initially suspected. Despite its interesting premise and execution, it had a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (now 40%), and has an audience score of 48%.

After her demise, Dracula attacks the town, and the second season focuses on his continued aim to destroy the majority of humans. It also focuses on his half human, half vampire son, who still vows to stop him at any cost.

Once you get past some of the movie's clichés, especially at the beginning of the movie, it becomes an interesting tech story about identity, AI consciousness, and memory.
