There's no shortage of thrilling shows to binge-watch on Netflix, but sometimes you just someone else to offer up some unique suggestions for what to watch next. The choices can seem endless on Netflix, but there's some hidden gems.

We're sharing a list of Netflix shows that are mysterious, captivating, and easy to watch. These won't take up more than a weekend of your time, but they will certainly help that weekend fly by with some of the most gripping and entertaining storytelling around. Check out our recommendations!

Bodyguard (2018)

He's not an agent for Night Action, but Richard Madden's character would definitely be the perfect partner for Peter Sutherland. The British political miniseries Bodyguard premiered on Netflix in 2018 and became a real fan-favorite. Madden stars as Police Sergeant David Budd, a veteran of the British Army facing PTSD tasked with being the bodyguard for Home Secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes). Their different politics caused conflict, but David must follow through with his work.

Bodyguard contains only six episodes, which makes the series quite the quick binge-watch. Even if you watched it when it first came out, it's the perfect time for a rewatch after completing The Night Agent season 3. The series earned critical acclaim and even landed Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominations, with Madden winning a Golden Globe for his performance. Add more political conspiracies, action, and thrills to your watch list with Bodyguard.

The Lincoln Lawyer (2022-present)

If you're a fan of The Night Agent, it's highly likely that you are also a fan of The Lincoln Lawyer. Both Netflix original series are cut from similar cloths, as broadcast-adjacent crime dramas that are easy to watch and endlessly entertaining. But on the off chance that you haven't joined Mickey Haller in the courtroom, scroll a few shows down on the Netflix top 10 and find The Lincoln Lawyer, click play, and take the wildest four-season ride (pun slightly intended) you could ever want.

Based on the books by Michael Connelly, The Lincoln Lawyer catches up with Mickey Haller as he dusts himself off and gets back to work in the courtroom. However, his life and career get increasingly complicated with each season. In the just-released fourth season, Mickey was accused of a murder he didn't commit and represented himself in court to bring fourth the truth. With each twist and turn, the series only gets more exciting. And it's going to be back for season 5!

Run Away (2025)

No list of thriller or mystery Netflix shows is complete without at least one of Harlan Coben's many limited series. The author has a full collection of shows, and while all of them are worth binge-watching and have been millions of times by fans around the world, we're recommending to dive into his most recent release, Run Away. The series dropped on New Year's Day, and if you haven't been able to start the series yet, get your post-Night Agent mystery fix.

Based on Coben's book of the same name, Run Away centers on an investment banker who becomes wrapped up in the investigation into his missing daughter. The deeper he gets into his search for his daughter, the deeper he gets into dangerous, uncharted territory that brings secrets and violence to the surface. Run Away contains eight chilling episodes that will keep you completely engrossed in the unraveling mystery until the very final second.

All three of these must-watch shows spotlighted above are available to stream on Netflix!
