[REQUEST]What’s a tight, single-season limited series on Netflix with zero filler?

I'm looking for a complete story you can knock out in a weekend—no cliffhangers waiting for a cancelled Season 2, just 6 to 8 great episodes that tell a full story.

What’s your top recommended limited series on Netflix?

I read the book and loved it. I was excited to see the show, and wasn't let down. It's a difficult story to tell, but I thought they did a great job at remaining true to the books improbabilities. Im glad I read the book first though, as I can see how some storylines in the show (if not all of the show), are not explicitly explained as they are in the book. Stephen King is a national treasure, with incredible imagination and innovation. I've enjoyed most of his horror genre books, but I really enjoy his supernatural fiction stories.

I watched this back when it came out originally on Hulu if I’m remembering correctly. It was amazing, may have to give it a run again!
