Mysteries and Thrillers That Keep You Guessing

For viewers who love to unravel a good puzzle or feel the tension build with every scene, Netflix offers a strong lineup of mystery and thriller series. These shows often feature complex plots, intriguing characters, and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The Survivors

Adapted from the novel by Jane Harper, this Australian murder mystery miniseries delves into the lingering trauma of a past tragedy. Fifteen years after a storm claimed the lives of his brother and friend, Kieran Elliott returns to his hometown, only to find the community still blames him. When a cold case involving a missing teenager from the same night resurfaces, and the investigator looking into it turns up dead, Kieran and everyone around him become entangled in a new mystery that might be connected to the past in ways they never imagined. The series excels at building atmosphere and exploring the psychological weight of guilt and blame within a tight-knit community.

Dept. Q

Bringing a blend of Scandi noir grit and British crime drama sensibilities, Dept. Q follows the disgraced Edinburgh police detective Carl Morck. After a mission goes wrong, leaving his partner paralyzed and another officer dead, Morck is sidelined to the newly formed Department Q, a unit tasked with solving cold cases. Stuck in a basement office with a team of misfits, including the eager but fragile Rose and the enigmatic Syrian refugee Akram, Morck must prove his worth by tackling the disappearance of Merritt Linguard. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels, the show offers a compelling look at damaged characters trying to find justice in forgotten cases.

You

Based on Caroline Kepnes' novels, You is a chillingly addictive psychological thriller that follows the life of Joe Goldberg, a charming but deeply disturbed man who develops dangerous obsessions with women. The series takes viewers inside Joe's mind, narrated through his unsettling internal monologue as he stalks, manipulates, and eliminates anyone who stands in the way of his perceived love interests. From New York to Los Angeles, London, and back to New York in its fifth and final season, Joe's globe-trotting saga of murderous obsession becomes increasingly dark and brutal. Penn Badgley's portrayal of Joe is captivating, making the series a gripping, albeit often disturbing, exploration of toxic fixation.

The Residence

From the prolific Shondaland comes this satisfyingly twisty whodunnit set within the walls of the White House. When the White House chief usher is found dead during a state dinner, a brilliant but quirky detective, Cordelia Cupp (played with unassailable top form by Uzo Aduba), is called in. Despite pressure to rule it a suicide, Cupp suspects foul play and locks down the residence, turning the investigation into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse among the staff and guests. The show expertly uses the iconic setting as a character itself, creating a unique backdrop for a dark comedy filled with secrets, lies, and a phenomenal ensemble cast.

No Good Deed

A dark comedy from Liz Feldman, the creator of Dead to Me, No Good Deed takes the cutthroat world of Los Angeles real estate and injects it with tragicomic twists. The series centers on Lydia and Paul Morgan, a couple trying to sell their gorgeous home, only for the process to descend into chaos. Prospective buyers resort to increasingly desperate tactics, nosy neighbors interfere, and the house's own grisly history begins to surface. Buoyed by a stellar cast including Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano, the show offers a witty and possibly only slightly exaggerated look at the brutal realities of the LA property market.

Black Doves

For fans of spy thrillers with a dash of wit and style, Black Doves delivers. Helen Webb, the seemingly perfect wife of the UK defense secretary, leads a double life as a spy for a mercenary organization. When her lover is killed, she embarks on a dangerous quest for revenge, threatening to expose her carefully constructed world. Paired with a cynical assassin, Helen navigates a treacherous landscape of international espionage. The series stands out by bucking the grim-dark trend, offering a pulpy, colorful, and surprisingly heartfelt take on the genre, making it a brisk and engaging watch.

Ripley

Steven Zaillian's limited series adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel, Ripley, offers a stark, black-and-white portrayal of the infamous con man Tom Ripley. Set in 1950s New York and Italy, the series follows Ripley, a struggling grifter hired to persuade a wealthy man's son, Dickie Greenleaf, to return home from Italy. Instead, Ripley becomes captivated by Dickie's luxurious lifestyle and sets in motion a sinister plan to take it for himself. Andrew Scott delivers a chilling performance as the titular character, making this visually stunning and deliberately paced adaptation a strong contender for the definitive screen version of Highsmith's work.

Alice in Borderland

Based on Haro Aso's manga, Alice in Borderland plunges slacker Ryohei Arisu and his friends into a deserted Tokyo where they must compete in deadly games to survive. Arisu's gaming skills prove invaluable, but navigating the brutal challenges and uncovering the secrets of this strange 'Borderland' is far from simple. The series is known for its high stakes and willingness to eliminate main characters, keeping viewers constantly on edge. As the saga continues, the games become more sadistic, and alliances are tested, drawing heavily on twisted Alice in Wonderland imagery for a taut and thrilling ride.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Adventures

From dystopian futures and supernatural occurrences to epic fantasy quests and animated spectacles, Netflix's science fiction and fantasy offerings transport viewers to imaginative worlds and explore profound themes.

Glitch

This Australian supernatural drama is a hidden gem that explores the mysteries of life and death. In a small town, seven people inexplicably rise from their graves in perfect health but with no memory. Police sergeant James Hayes discovers his late wife is among them. As he and a local doctor try to understand 'The Risen,' they uncover a deeper conspiracy that questions the very rules of reality. Over three seasons, Glitch builds a compelling narrative with a fantastic ensemble cast and brilliant pacing, making it a must-see for fans of thoughtful supernatural stories.

The Eternaut

Adapted from a beloved Argentinian comic book, The Eternaut presents a unique take on the postapocalyptic genre. When a deadly snow begins to fall over Buenos Aires, killing everyone it touches, Juan Salvo and a few survivors must navigate the devastated city to find his family. The series starts with grounded, authentic characters facing an unimaginable disaster before spinning off into wilder science fiction directions as an even deeper horror emerges. It's a compelling piece of drama rooted in its source material's cultural significance.

Blood of Zeus

This adult animated series offers a brutal and compelling take on Greek mythology. Following the demigod Heron, the illegitimate son of Zeus, the series depicts a world on the brink of war between the Olympian gods and their Titan predecessors. The third and final season brings Heron's odyssey to a brutal conclusion as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Blood of Zeus impresses with smart writing that twists classic myths, top-tier animation, and phenomenal voice acting, solidifying its place as one of Netflix's best animated series.

Black Mirror

Charlie Brooker's acclaimed anthology series returns with its seventh season, continuing its exploration of humanity's complex and often disturbing relationship with technology. Each standalone episode presents a unique near-future scenario, ranging from the heartbreaking to the sinister. Season 7 includes rare sequels to previous episodes, but the anthology format ensures accessibility for new viewers. Whether diving into fractured memories in “Eulogy” or exploring a murderously obsessive life-sim game in “Plaything” (which you can even play for real, as noted by WIRED), Black Mirror remains a poignant and thought-provoking examination of technological dystopias. WIRED has also offered a ranking of the Season 7 episodes and an interview with Charlie Brooker about Season 6, providing deeper context for fans.

Pantheon

Originally an AMC+ series, both seasons of the hard sci-fi animation Pantheon are now available on Netflix, arriving at a time when its themes feel particularly relevant. Based on Ken Liu's short fiction, the show explores the nightmarish implications of digitally uploaded human consciousnesses. Plot threads weave together the story of a girl whose dead father may be an 'Uploaded Intelligence,' a genius teenager whose life is a lie, and an engineer investigating the phenomenon. Pantheon offers a dark, uniquely brilliant examination of virtual immortality and its potential impact on society.

Arcane

Breaking the mold of video game adaptations, Arcane, based on Riot Games' League of Legends, is a stunning animated series accessible to both fans and newcomers. Set in the steampunk world of Piltover and the undercity of Zaun, the saga follows the fractured relationship between orphaned sisters Vi and Jinx amidst a brewing class war and civil uprising. The second and final season escalates the conflict while maintaining its focus on the sisters' bond. With a gorgeous painterly art style, strong characters, and shocking story beats, Arcane is widely regarded as one of the best animated series in years, earning critical acclaim and awards, including a Primetime Emmy.

Supacell

Created by Andrew “Rapman” Onwubolu, Supacell offers a fresh and grounded take on the superhero genre. The series follows five ordinary Black Londoners who suddenly develop extraordinary superpowers. From superstrength and telekinesis to superspeed and invisibility, their lives are irrevocably changed. At the center is Michael, who gains the ability to leap through time and space, discovering he has a limited time to save his fiancée. The show focuses on the human element, exploring how these powers impact realistic characters rather than traditional superhero tropes. The mystery surrounding why only Black people are gaining powers adds a powerful layer to this smart, modern, and refreshing series.

Star Trek Prodigy

A welcome addition to Netflix's library after its move from Paramount+, Star Trek Prodigy is a fantastic animated spin-off aimed at younger audiences but packed with appeal for longtime Trekkers. The series follows a group of alien teenagers who escape a prison planet and stumble upon an abandoned Starfleet vessel, the USS Protostar. Under the guidance of a holographic Captain Janeway (voiced by Kate Mulgrew), they become aspiring cadets, embarking on dangerous missions that explore the ethics and ideals of the Federation. The second season sees the crew cast through time, facing new challenges while classic Star Trek legends voiced by their original actors make appearances. It's a sleeper hit and one of the best Trek shows in years.

The Legend of Korra

Serving as a sequel to the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra picks up 70 years later, exploring a world that has advanced technologically and socially. The new Avatar, Korra, moves to Republic City to complete her training, only to find herself caught in the growing tensions between element benders and the non-bending Equalist movement. Over its four seasons, the series delves into more mature themes like political corruption, social prejudice, and the complexities of identity. With even more brilliant animation and a unique 1920s-inspired aesthetic, Korra is a show that evolved alongside its audience, expanding the universe and revealing the origins of the Avatar cycle, making it a compelling watch for fans of the original and newcomers alike.

Sweet Home

Based on a Korean webcomic, Sweet Home offers a unique and terrifying vision of the apocalypse. Instead of traditional zombies, people transform into grotesque monsters based on their deepest desires. The first season is a masterclass in claustrophobic horror, trapping the residents of an isolated apartment building as they fight for survival against these monstrous beings. Subsequent seasons expand the scope, exploring the wider world and the blurred lines between monster and man. With phenomenal effects work blending various animation and practical techniques, Sweet Home stands apart in the horror genre, delivering disturbing creatures and a compelling narrative about the remnants of humanity.

Jentry Chau vs the Underworld

Taking the familiar trope of a teenager discovering superpowers and infusing it with Asian mythology and sharp humor, Jentry Chau vs the Underworld is one of Netflix's freshest animated shows. Jentry Chau, voiced by Ali Wong, has always known about the supernatural due to her fire powers, but she's spent her life trying to avoid it. After being attacked in Seoul, she's drawn back to her home in Texas and into the mystic world, facing formidable demons while also navigating the horrors of high school, culture shock, and her own past trauma. Blending elements of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gravity Falls, the series offers a unique and entertaining take on the coming-of-age supernatural story.

The Chosen One

Based on the comic American Jesus by Mark Millar and Peter Gross, The Chosen One follows 12-year-old Jodie, who discovers he has miraculous powers while living in Mexico. As he grapples with his newfound abilities, he attracts dangerous attention from sinister forces. While it shares some thematic similarities with other supernatural teen dramas, the series distinguishes itself visually by being shot on film and in a 4:3 aspect ratio, creating a unique aesthetic unlike much else on the streamer. It's a compelling story about destiny, faith, and the forces that seek to control extraordinary power. (Note: This is distinct from the 2019 Brazilian series of the same name.)

Comedies and Dramas That Capture the Human Experience

Netflix also excels at producing shows that explore the complexities of human relationships, societal dynamics, and the everyday absurdities of life, often with a blend of humor and heartfelt moments.

Sirens

Meghann Fahy stars in this glossy, dark comedy about wealth, power, and manipulation. Devon, down on her luck, is drawn into the luxurious world of her sister Simone, who works as an assistant to the enigmatic billionaire's wife Michaela (Julianne Moore). It's unclear if Michaela is a mentor, a cult leader, or something more sinister, and Devon's protectiveness clashes with Simone's choices. The hook of Sirens lies in unraveling the complex dynamics between these characters and discovering the dark secrets hidden beneath the surface of extreme wealth. It's a compelling watch that explores themes of class, family, and influence.

The Four Seasons

A surprisingly life-affirming comedy loosely adapted from the 1981 film of the same name, The Four Seasons follows three couples who have maintained a decades-long friendship through regular vacations. The group's dynamic is thrown into disarray when one couple splits just before a planned trip. Despite the premise, the eight-episode miniseries, co-created by Tina Fey, is filled with warmth, humanity, and fantastic performances from a cast including Fey, Will Forte, Steve Carrell, and Colman Domingo. While it sometimes leans into farcical physical comedy, it maintains a charming sense of connection and reflection on long-term friendships and life changes.

North of North

Netflix's first Canadian original series is a sharp and heartwarming sitcom set in the small Arctic town of Ice Cove. It follows Siaja, a young Inuk woman who decides to make a fresh start after years in the shadow of her selfish husband. Her explosive breakup in a community of only 2,000 people means her personal life becomes everyone's business. Starring Anna Lambe, the show is packed with humor and warmth, offering a unique perspective rooted in its setting. Filmed on location in Iqaluit, it also provides breathtaking natural beauty alongside the laughs, making it a delightful and culturally rich comedy.

Asura

Directed by Palme d’Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda, Asura is a compelling Japanese drama about four sisters with little in common whose bonds are tested when they suspect their father may have a secret second family. Set in the 1970s, the series beautifully captures the complexities of sibling relationships, blending moments of heartwarming connection with hilarious absurdity. The fantastic cast brings depth to the characters, making this gorgeously shot period piece feel incredibly timely in its exploration of family secrets and dynamics. It's far more than a simple family drama, offering a rich tapestry of human experience.

Queer Eye

Netflix's most feel-good show returns for its ninth season, relocating the Fab Five to Las Vegas to transform the lives of new heroes. Karamo, Tan, Antoni, Jonathan, and new design expert Jeremiah Brent help a diverse group of individuals, from a retired showgirl regaining her sparkle to organizing a dream wedding and even teaching a 'magic dragon' to embrace his true self. The show continues its mission of spreading positivity, self-love, and acceptance, offering heartwarming stories of personal transformation. It's a joyful and uplifting reality series that celebrates individuality and community.

A Man on the Inside

From comedy mastermind Michael Schur (The Good Place, Parks and Recreation) comes A Man on the Inside, starring Ted Danson as Charles Nieuwendyk, a retired engineering professor mourning the loss of his wife. When a private investigator needs someone of his demographic to go undercover in a retirement community to investigate abuse allegations, Charles finds an unexpected new purpose. Based on a true story, the show is a poignant, melancholic, and achingly funny exploration of aging, finding meaning late in life, and the challenges of adapting to new circumstances (like using a smartphone). Danson delivers a brilliant performance in this charming series.

Heartstopper

Based on Alice Oseman's graphic novels, Heartstopper is one of the most joyful and important shows on Netflix, returning for its third season. The series follows the heartfelt queer romance between Charlie and Nick as they navigate school, friendships, and coming out. The new season sees their relationship deepen while also exploring more mature themes like sex, eating disorders, and gender dysphoria, reflecting the growth of its talented young cast. Without losing the warmth and charm that made it beloved, Heartstopper continues to be a vital show for LGBTQ+ viewers, offering positive representation and tackling complex issues with sensitivity and honesty. It's a show everyone needs to watch, regardless of sexuality.

The Boyfriend

Japan's first same-sex dating show, The Boyfriend, is a bold and progressive statement reflecting shifting opinions in the country. The series brings together nine single men in an idyllic beach house, tasking them with running a coffee truck while exploring potential romantic connections. Unlike Western dating shows, it focuses on the genuine friendships and emotional journeys of the cast, with challenges centered around confessing feelings. The show's gentleness and earnest discussions about emotions and the experience of being queer in Japan make it an almost relaxing and absolutely joyful example of reality television.

The Good Place

Michael Schur's philosophical comedy The Good Place is a truly unique series that blends humor with deep ethical and philosophical questions. Eleanor Shellstrop finds herself in a seemingly perfect afterlife reserved for the world's best people, only to realize she was sent there by mistake. Desperate to avoid the 'Bad Place,' she enlists the help of her assigned soulmate, a philosophy professor, to become a better person. The show features one of the best twists in television history at the end of its first season and continues to surprise and delight throughout its run. With a sensational cast including Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, and William Jackson Harper, The Good Place is a smart, funny, and profoundly moving exploration of what it means to be good.

Bridgerton

One of Netflix's most-watched series, Bridgerton, transports viewers to Regency-era England to follow the romantic lives and scandals of the powerful Bridgerton family. Executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, the show is an incredibly bingeable period drama known for its diverse casting, lavish costumes, and steamy romances. Each season focuses on a different Bridgerton sibling's quest for love, narrated by the anonymous gossip columnist Lady Whistledown. The third season centers on the long-awaited romance between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, a pairing that promises to reveal secrets that have been building since the very first episode.

Beef

A biting dark comedy-drama, Beef taps into the universal frustration of road rage and escalates it into a full-blown, vengeance-fueled war between two strangers. After a fender bender, a struggling contractor and a wealthy, seemingly successful artist become consumed with destroying each other's lives. Starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong in powerhouse performances, the series is more than just a revenge thriller; it's a sharp commentary on the pressures of modern life, class disparities, and the hidden unhappiness beneath the surface, particularly in its Los Angeles setting. It's a cathartic, albeit chaotic, binge-watch that resonated deeply with audiences and critics, earning numerous awards.

Loudermilk

A bleak but brilliant comedy, Loudermilk stars Ron Livingston as Sam Loudermilk, a former music critic and recovering alcoholic with a talent for offending everyone he meets. His inability to filter his thoughts makes him a challenging leader for the addiction support group he runs. The show, which found a wider audience on Netflix after its initial run on other platforms, is an acerbic anti-Frasier, offering dark humor and insightful observations about addiction, recovery, and human nature. Bolstered by smart writing and strong performances, it's a compelling watch for those who appreciate comedy with a sharp edge.

Action, Animation, and Genre-Bending Hits

Netflix's catalog is rich with shows that push the boundaries of genre, from high-octane action and stunning animation to unique blends of fantasy, horror, and adventure.

Devil May Cry

Building on the success of its video game adaptations, Netflix delivers with Devil May Cry, an animated series based on Capcom's popular franchise. The show follows Dante, a stylish half-demon devil hunter who specializes in slicing up the worst denizens of hell. This eight-episode spectacular sees Dante clashing with horrific monsters and navigating a world where the barrier between Earth and hell is threatened. Featuring slick animation, intense action, and a voice cast that includes Johnny Yong Bosch and the late Kevin Conroy, the series embraces its early 2000s origins with a fitting soundtrack, making it a hellishly good time for fans and newcomers to the franchise.

Castlevania: Nocturne

Set during the French Revolution, Castlevania: Nocturne is a grisly adult animated series that expands the universe of the popular video game franchise. It follows Richter Belmont, a vampire hunter, and his allies as they battle supernatural threats amidst the political upheaval. The first season saw the team unite against a 'Vampire Messiah,' while the new second season raises the stakes as they team up with Alucard, son of Dracula, to restore light to the world. While linked to the previous Castlevania animated series, Nocturne stands on its own, delivering high-quality animation, brutal action, and a compelling cast of characters.

Cobra Kai

Picking up decades after the events of the original Karate Kid film, Cobra Kai is a nostalgic and gloriously over-the-top continuation of the saga. The series follows a down-on-his-luck Johnny Lawrence as he reopens the Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with Daniel LaRusso. What begins as a small-scale conflict quickly escalates into a city-wide battle between rival karate schools, with alliances constantly shifting and the stakes becoming increasingly ludicrous. Starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprising their iconic roles, the show is an unabashed love letter to the 1980s action flicks, featuring impressive fight choreography and stunt work that makes it a retro-styled delight.

Blue Eye Samurai

Set in 17th Century Japan during its isolationist period, Blue Eye Samurai is an exquisitely animated adult series following Mizu, a mixed-race warrior with striking blue eyes who is ostracized by society. Masquerading as a man, Mizu embarks on a brutal quest for vengeance against the four white men who were in Japan at the time of her birth, believing one of them is her father. The series is visually stunning, with a unique art style that highlights its unabashed violence. Featuring a phenomenal voice cast including Maya Erskine, George Takei, and Kenneth Branagh, Blue Eye Samurai is a compelling and action-packed story of identity, revenge, and survival.

Pending Train

Despite a lack of promotion, the Japanese sci-fi drama Pending Train is a show that shouldn't be overlooked. When a train carriage is mysteriously transported into a post-apocalyptic future, the diverse group of passengers must band together to survive. As they explore their new surroundings and clash with survivors from another stranded train, they begin to suspect they were sent to the future for a reason: a chance to avert the disaster that ruined the world. The series offers a tense, 10-episode journey with a Japanese twist on the 'stranded survivors' trope, featuring tighter pacing and a clear narrative direction that keeps viewers engaged.

One Piece

Netflix finally strikes gold with its live-action adaptation of the globally popular manga and anime series One Piece. The show spectacularly captures the charm, optimism, and glorious weirdness of Eiichiro Oda's original work, bringing the fantasy world of pirates, devil fruits, and legendary treasures to life. Iñaki Godoy is perfectly cast as the rubber-limbed protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, who sets out to become the King of the Pirates. The series faithfully adapts the early arcs of the manga, introducing Luffy's core crew members, each brilliantly embodied by the cast. Despite the challenges of adapting such a fantastical world, this live-action voyage is well worth taking for both fans and newcomers.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Netflix's live-action adaptation of the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender brings the epic tale of Aang, the last airbender and the Avatar, to life. Frozen in time for a century, Aang is awakened to find the world conquered by the imperialist Fire Nation. With new friends Katara and Sokka, he must master all four elements to restore balance. While the original animated series remains superior, this adaptation delivers scale and spectacle without betraying the heart of the classic story. Featuring a talented young cast and already confirmed for two more seasons, viewers can look forward to seeing the complete saga unfold.

More Must-Watch Series Across Genres

Beyond the categories above, Netflix offers a wealth of other compelling shows that defy easy classification or simply stand out as exceptional viewing experiences.

Toxic Town

Based on the real-world Corby toxic waste case, this powerful four-part British drama follows the decades-long battle for justice faced by a former steelworking town after industrial pollution led to widespread birth defects. Centered on the lives of three mothers fighting for their children, the series fiercely explores the lengths the community had to go to for accountability and the depths of corporate greed. Starring Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, and Claudia Jessie, Toxic Town is a searing, heart-wrenching drama that will leave you furious at the injustices depicted.

Adolescence

A shocking and important mini-series, Adolescence is not a whodunit, but a whydunit. Set in a quiet English town, the series begins with the police raid of a 13-year-old boy's house on suspicion of murder. Its four episodes, masterfully shot in single real-time takes, explore how boys are radicalized online to hate women and the horrifying consequences. Featuring powerhouse performances from Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, and newcomer Owen Cooper, the series tackles incredibly difficult material with unflinching honesty, making it harrowing but essential viewing.
