The Lincoln Lawyer
The season 4 premiere of The Lincoln Lawyer arrives on Thursday, February 5, only on Netflix. There’s no better time to binge the first three seasons of the celebrated legal thriller series than right now, whether it’s to catch up or experience for the first time.
Inspired by the book series by acclaimed author Michael Connelly, The Lincoln Lawyer stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, a hotshot LA attorney who famously handles cases from his signature Lincoln car. Created by David E. Kelley, this is one legal thriller you don’t want to miss this week.
Heartland
The 18th season of Heartland just dropped on Netflix at the beginning of February and is currently trending #9 in the U.S. The series premiered in 2007 and consists of a whopping 281 episodes, most of which are available to binge on Netflix.
Heartland is a family-friendly coming-of-age drama series with Western themes. Similar to Yellowstone, the series follows a multi-generational family of ranchers, set in the vast natural landscape of Alberta, Canada. If you’re looking for a long-term TV-PG binge, Heartland is a strong choice on Netflix.
Sense8
Sense8 is a somewhat forgotten gem on Netflix that still holds up today. Released in 2015, the sci-fi thriller series follows a group of people around the world who are suddenly linked mentally, sort of following a similar premise to Apple TV’s breakout hit Pluribus.
Consisting of two seasons and 24 episodes, viewers could reasonably binge the entire series in about a week. If you’re looking for one of the most overlooked yet acclaimed sci-fi mystery series on Netflix, it doesn’t get much better than Sense8, which earned an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Search Party
The HBO Max original comedy series Search Party arrives on Netflix on Thursday, February 5. Combining elements of dark comedy, psychological thriller, and suspense mystery, this series follows four twenty-somethings who search for their missing friend.
Search Party consists of 50 episodes and five seasons, with bite-sized episodes that typically range from 22 to 25 minutes each. Featuring a great ensemble cast led by Alia Shawkat, John Early, and Mederidth Hagner, Search Party (96% on Rotten Tomatoes) should be a hit on Netflix this week.
Better Call Saul
If you’re on a mission to watch all the great modern TV shows like The Sopranos and Mad Men, then Better Call Saul has to be included in that list. After watching Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul is an outstanding series that follows the rise and fall of Breaking Bad’s fan-favorite character, Saul Goodman.
Better Call Saul features Bob Odenkirk in one of his greatest onscreen roles alongside Rhea Seehorn and Michael McKean. It also directly ties into Breaking Bad characters, such as Giancarlo Esposito’s Gus Fring and Jonathan Banks’ Mike Ehrmantraut. If you’ve seen Breaking Bad but haven’t dived into Better Call Saul yet, there’s no better time to watch one of the best TV shows, and perhaps the best TV sequel series, of all time on Netflix.
