Are you searching for something to watch on Netflix tonight? With so much going on in the world and the weather getting hotter, it may be worth it to have a list of binge-worthy shows to watch. It’s nice to have a list of shows to watch whenever you’re looking for some downtime, or if you’re like me, all you have right now is downtime.
Below you’ll find my top 10 binge-worthy shows on Netflix. If you have run out of things to watch, here are a few shows to add to your list.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
This show is a great idea for any age, as it has many elements that capture attention. It’s whimsical, suspenseful, and a bit odd but pulls you in fast and takes you on a ride. Plus, who doesn’t love Neil Patrick Harris?
Dead to Me
This is not for children. but if you enjoy dark comedies – this is for you. It’s about two friends who were brought together by a tragedy and a series of events that unfold afterwards. There are only two seasons so far, so you can bust this one out in two days if you try hard enough.
The Good Place
If you’re looking for comedy, The Good Place is a great one for older children and adults to laugh like crazy and enjoy the entire show. There are three seasons of this on Netflix to keep you occupied for a good amount of time.
You vs. Wild
We all love survival expert Bear Grylls, right? Of course we do! Well if you haven’t checked out You vs. Wild, you need to. It’s an interactive (yes, interactive) show that I promise you guys are going to love. Using your remote, you guys will determine what Bear does during the show. For example, you can choose to swim through a river or take a bridge over it and each scenario would have a different outcome. And the best part is, when you’re done watching it you can re-watch it and make different choices!
American Horror Story
This show is definitley not for kids, so you will want to binge this one after the kids go to bed. Each season is a different story, but as you move along in seasons, sometimes there are tie-in’s to previous ones. AHS is gory, pushes the limits and the creep factor is usually pretty high, but it’s so well done.
Riverdale
Based on the characters from the Archie comics, this more grown up and somewhat dark version of Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica will have you captivated as you try to figure out the secrets of their little town. And there are a lot of them. It’s a good watch and this would be ok for older teens, but not little ones because of some of the adult themes.
Supernatural
Supernatural is a series that isn’t little kid-friendly, due to its level of horror, not so great language and many innuendos. But if you’re comfortable watching it with your older teens you won’t regret it. Supernatural is about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who hunt monsters (vampires, shape shifters, etc) and end up going though hell, literally, in the process. My hubby and I have been watching this show for years and have re-watched the early seasons more than once.
Ozark
Money laundering is more exciting than you think. This show is not for the kiddos, but you will become invested in the characters in this show real quick.
Stranger Things
You haven’t seen Stranger Things yet? What in the world are you waiting for? This show features Dungeon’s and Dragons, a girl named Eleven who loves Eggo’s, a parallel dimension aptly named the upside down and the chick that plays Lydia in Beetlejuice- how can you go wrong? Seriously, though, it’s one of those shows that draws you in right from the get go and you won’t be able to help yourself from hitting “play next episode”. Oh, and shout out to Barb.
Tiger King
Hey all you cool cats and kittens, just give in and watch it. Even if it’s for no other reason than to understand all the memes. You will never be able to order lunch at the zoo again after watching it, but this train-wreck definitely deserves a watch.
There you have it a list of binge-worthy shows to catch on Netflix. I hope that you’ll use this list as a means to find something to watch with your loved ones while you’re stuck at home on a rainy or super humid day this summer season.
I have watched some of these! Stranger Things is a favorite. I keep hearing about Dead to Me so I will be watching that soon. Also, Atypical is a good show. It’s about a boy with autism 🙂
Thanks for sharing your suggestions. I can’t wait to binge watch some of these shows.
I love most of these! There are a few I haven’t seen. Riverdale and Supernatural are two of my favorite shows, and I just caught up on Ozark!
A Series of Unfortunate Events is now on my list of shows to watch. The boys would enjoy these shows.
These are some great ideas, I have to admit I’ve just finished catching up with Riverdale so I am with you on bingeing that.
Supernatural and Ozark are two of my faves. I’m going to check out the others. Thanks for awesome recommendations.
I love Riverdale, Stranger Things, and Tiger King. I just finished On My Block which I really enjoyed too!
I’m binge watching so other Netflix shows now. But when I’m done The Good Place and Tiger King are next, thanks for some great suggestions.
I’ve seen all but one. Dead to Me and Ozark and The Good Place are all so good! I watched Tiger King three times.
Just finished Dead to Me – it was so good! The season flew by. We watched Tiger King as well. Always looking for something to watch, so I’ll have to check these out.
the kids LOVE You vs Wild. Great show to teach survival skills. I did enjoy The Good Place.
These movies sound so interesting to watch! I am looking for anything new to watch with my wife. Will definitely use this list.
I need to update my Netflix list. I have been bingewatching before our pup came.
I love Netflix series. I watch Supernatural and should check Dead to Me.
These are really great suggestions. Thank you so much! Will check these out.
We binge watched Dead To Me. Good one. I also started watching the first season of Riverdale, but didn’t finish. Will check the other shows.
I love Dead To Me. Lately I’ve struggled to find time to watch any shows that aren’t kid-friendly. My daughter is a night owl, so we’ve been re-watching Brooklyn 99, New Girl, and The Office.
Awesome Netflix line-up, especially the Stranger things it’s one of my favorite there is. Thanks for sharing.
Would you believe we don’t have a Netflix subscription! I think we must be one of the few families in our country that doesn’t! LOL
Thanks for the show suggestion. The only I have seen so far is Stranger Things but I like that series.
I’ve seen all of The Good Place & Stranger Things. I’ll have to check out some of the others. Right now, I’m into Community & Sweet Magnolias. They’re both good!
This is a great list of shows to binge watch on Netflix. I love a good story so I’ll try Dead to me first.
I’ve watched Stranger Things, Riverdale and Tiger King from your list. I’ll check out the others from your list!
Thanks for this great list, I need to look in to these shows. Sounds really interesting with your reviews. I may look for Dead to me and Good place first.
Love Dead to Me! I just finished Schitt’s Creek so now i can watch Season 2. Riverdale is getting weird I am and I’m kinda spooked to watch Season 4. Haha!
I love Dead to Me, I have finished watching the 2nd season. There are some other goodies in their as well, but have pretty much seen or attempted to watch. If something doesn’t get my attention right away, I stop and move on.
