‘Survival of the Thickest’ (2023–2026)

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.5/10

In a weekend likely to be dominated by the arrival of Millie Bobby Brown‘s Enola Holmes 3, there’s another returning female star for a third installment that you shouldn’t miss. Survival of the Thickest, the Michelle Buteau-led series that debuted in 2023, follows the newly single Mavis as she tries to reinvent her life alongside her chosen family, including her besties Khalil (Tone Bell) and Marley (Tasha Smith).

Created by Buteau and Danielle Sanchez Witzel, and an adaptation of the former’s collection of essays of the same name, Survival of the Thickest is one of the most underrated shows on Netflix, intelligently moving between over-the-top comedy and heartwarming laughs. Buteau is excellent throughout, supported by I May Destroy You alum Marouane Zotti as Luca, Tone Bell as Khalil, and many others.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

‘Bloodline’ (2015–2017)

Rotten Tomatoes: 62% | IMDb: 7.8/10

Don’t miss out on one of the most criminally underrated shows on Netflix this weekend. First airing in 2015 as one of Netflix’s earliest original drama series, Bloodline follows the Rayburn family, a highly respected group in their local community, as the skeletons in their closet are ripped out after the black sheep of the family returns home.

Featuring a stand-out performance from Ben Mendelsohn, alongside the likes of Kyle Chandler, Linda Cardellini, and Norbert Leo Butz, Bloodline twists and turns its way through 33 gripping episodes across three seasons. A family drama seeped in tension, the show was an enormous hit with critics, even winning a Primetime Emmy in 2016 for Mendelsohn’s lead performance, among many other nominations.

‘Interview With the Vampire’ (2022–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 99% | IMDb: 7.6/10

Back on June 7, one of the most addictive fantasy series on streaming finally returned for a third season, titled The Vampire Lestat. Interview with the Vampire, developed by Rolin Jones and adapted from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels, sprinkles a modern twist on the original, as Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) invites Pulitzer-winning reporter Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) to his home to tell his life’s story.

Although the Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise-led movie is a worthy rendition of the source material, this is the closest to perfection yet, both honoring its original and taking smart creative liberties. The latest season takes yet another bold swing and has earned enormous praise from critics, including Collider’s Carly Lane, who wrote that Season 4 is “both a sharp pivot from the straightforwardly formal interview that preceded it and a chaotically thrilling continuation of the existing story.”
