Anchorman and Elf starWill Ferrellis the latest iconic comedian to take the #1 spot on the Netflix charts, courtesy of his new comedy series, The Hawk. Sure, the series might’ve earned his lowest-rated Rotten Tomatoes score yet, and it might be far from the comedy peaks of his 2000s catalog, but the numbers don’t lie, and The Hawk has remained the most popular show on the world’s biggest streamer for a week. But it is far from the only show worth watching on the platform right now. So, with that in mind, here’s a list of three shows you should binge-watch on Netflix.

‘Ransom Canyon’ (2025–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 45% | IMDb: 6.8/10
The biggest TV arrival this weekend is the second season of Netflix’s answer to Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding Yellowstone universe. Of course, the series in question is Ransom Canyon, a Texas Hill Country-set gem created by April Blair that follows three ranching dynasties feuding in the name of land, love, and legacy.
The return of Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly‘s Staten Kirkland and Quinn O’Grady will come as great news for many, following the first season’s 1.12 billion viewing hours earned in its initial release period. For anyone who enjoys gritty soap dramas with plenty of twists and revelations, this easily binge-worthy Western series should be right at the top of your watchlist.
Collider Exclusive · Taylor Sheridan Universe Quiz Which Taylor Sheridan Show Do You Belong In? Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown
Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.
🤠Yellowstone
🛢️Landman
👑Tulsa King
⚖️Mayor of Kingstown
01
Where does your power come from? In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.
02
Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.
03
Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.
04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.
05
How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.
06
What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.
07
How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.
08
Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.
09
What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.
10
When it’s over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.
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.
🤠 Yellowstone
🛢️ Landman
👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
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.

‘The Sinner’ (2017–2021)
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 7.8/10
For fans of police procedurals, there is no better gem to unearth on Netflix this weekend than The Sinner. Originally aired on the USA Network from 2017 to 2021, this True Detective-esque anthology series follows police detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) as he is driven by a tragic past to use deep empathy to solve all manner of dark cases.
Also starring Jessica Biel in a scene-stealing first-season role, as well as the likes of Jessica Hechtz, Dohn Norwood, and Adam LeFevre and Carrie Coon, Matt Bomer, Chris Messina, and Frances Fisher in later seasons, The Sinner is the next TV addiction you need. This Primetime Emmy-nominated series has flown under many radars, and it’s time that it earns more recognition.
3
‘The Decameron’ (2024)
Rotten Tomatoes: 70% | IMDb: 6.5/10
Inspired by the 14th-century Italian short-story collection of the same name by Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron is set during the deadliest pandemic in human history, as a group of nobles and servants run away to a gorgeous villa, only for their time together to quickly spiral out of control.
Created by Kathleen Jordan (Teenage Bounty Hunters) and executive produced by Jenji Kohan (Orange Is the New Black), this gem of a period drama is both raucous and strangely timely. Likened to Saltburn meets The Great, the show received plenty of positive reviews after its release, and even earned a Primetime Emmy nomination. In a post-COVID world, The Decameron is a perfect binge-watch.
