Show Do You Belong In?

Sheridan Has Spoken
You Belong In…

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

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.

‘Stranger Things: Tales from ’85’ (2026)

IMDb: 4.2/10

Although it technically debuted at the end of last year, early 2026 was dominated by Stranger Things discourse following a divisive final season. Four months later, the next chapter in the franchise is finally here, as the animated series Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 fills in the gap between the events of the second and third seasons of the original.

Set in the winter of 1985, the series follows Eleven (Brooklyn Davey Norstedt) and other kids from Hawkins, Indiana, as they uncover strange, paranormal happenings in their quiet town. Of course, the next Stranger Things installment couldn’t disappoint in the casting department, with the voice ensemble including Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Elisha “EJ” Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, Brett Gipson as Hopper, Odessa A’zion as Nikki Baxer, Jeremy Jordan as Steve, Janeane Garofalo as Anna Baxter, and Lou Diamond Phillips as Daniel Fischer.

Rotten Tomatoes: 78% | IMDb: 7.3/10

It isn’t just new arrivals worth watching on Netflix this weekend. A crime anthology series based on Christopher Goffard‘s podcast of the same name, Dirty John tracks crimes of passion, as horrific events centered on some sort of warped love turn the everyday into the extraordinary.

Also featuring a second season titled Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story, which boasts a pair of gripping performances from Amanda Peet and Christian Slater, Dirty John is a crime genre gem waiting to be uncovered on Netflix. For plenty of twists and turns to help guide you through your weekend, don’t miss Dirty John.
