With so many movies and TV shows available on Netflix, choosing what to watch can sometimes be harder than actually watching something.
You scroll through the titles, read a few descriptions, watch half a trailer, and then suddenly 30 minutes have passed without choosing anything.
The good news is that Netflix currently has plenty of options, whether you’re looking for romance, mystery, comedy, crime, family drama, adventure, or something completely different.
Here are some shows worth adding to your watchlist.
1. My Life with the Walter Boys
If you enjoy romance, family drama, complicated relationships, and emotional twists, My Life with the Walter Boys is an easy choice.
The story follows Jackie, a teenager whose life changes dramatically after she moves in with the large Walter family. As she tries to adjust to her new surroundings, friendships and romantic feelings make everything even more complicated.
The third season is currently one of Netflix’s biggest hits, making it a strong choice for viewers who love addictive young-adult dramas.
2. Outer Banks
Looking for adventure?
Outer Banks combines treasure hunting, friendship, romance, danger, secrets, and plenty of unexpected twists.
The story follows a group of friends who become involved in increasingly dangerous adventures while searching for hidden treasure and uncovering secrets.
The fifth season is now arriving as the show’s final chapter, making this a particularly good time to start—or finish—the series.
3. One Hundred Years of Solitude
For something more dramatic and literary, One Hundred Years of Solitude offers a completely different experience.
Based on Gabriel García Márquez’s famous novel, the series follows generations of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo.
Family secrets, love, tragedy, politics, memory, and magical realism all come together in a story that spans decades.
It’s ideal for viewers who prefer stories that take their time and reward attention.
4. I Will Find You
If you’re in the mood for a thriller, I Will Find You is worth considering.
The series follows a man who becomes convinced that his supposedly dead son may actually be alive. What follows is a desperate search filled with secrets, unanswered questions, and twists.
It’s the kind of show that encourages you to keep watching because every new discovery raises another question.
5. The Bombing of Pan Am 103
For viewers who prefer serious historical dramas and true events, The Bombing of Pan Am 103 offers a much heavier viewing experience.
The limited series explores the investigation surrounding the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and the enormous consequences that followed.
It isn’t light entertainment, but it can be a compelling choice for viewers interested in historical events, investigations, and stories inspired by real life.
6. Tires
Sometimes you don’t want a complicated story.
You just want to laugh.
Tires is a workplace comedy set around an auto repair business. The characters deal with customers, workplace frustrations, personal conflicts, and plenty of ridiculous situations.
Its third season is currently attracting viewers, making it a good option for anyone looking for something lighter.
7. Ransom Canyon
If you like romantic drama with beautiful scenery and complicated relationships, Ransom Canyon is another series to consider.
Set in a small Texas community, the story follows ranchers, families, rivals, and lovers as they struggle with relationships, personal ambitions, and the future of their homes.
It has the kind of atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in and watch several episodes in one evening.
8. My Brilliant Career
If historical dramas are more your style, My Brilliant Career is an interesting choice.
The story follows a young woman in early 20th-century Australia who dreams of becoming a writer instead of simply accepting the life society expects her to have.
The series combines period settings with themes of independence, ambition, love, and finding your own identity.
It is a good choice if you want something more thoughtful than a typical romantic drama.
