From series premieres to long-awaited new seasons, we’ve narrowed down the best new TV shows to watch so you don’t have to doomscroll through the nearly 2,000 shows on Netflix alone (yes, there seriously are that many).

Netflix
Nobody Wants This
You’ve likely heard some buzz about this new Netflix series, and if you haven’t gotten on board with watching it yet, you’ll want to ASAP. Kristen Bell stars as an agnostic sex podcaster who falls for a newly single Rabbi, played by Adam Brody. Though sparks are flying, they wonder if the relationship can survive their wildly different lives and families that have plenty of not-so-secret opinions.

Bookworms may recognize this show is based on a well-known novel by Elin Hilderbrand. The screen adaptation stars Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning, and Liev Schreiber and has been captivating audiences since its recent release.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
For those of us who couldn’t watch Dahmer fast enough, buckle up. The next installation of the scripted true crime Monsters Netflix series covers the infamous case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were arrested in the mid-1990s for murdering their parents. On the outside, they looked like a successful and loving family. But as secrets of the brothers’ upbringing are brought to a head during the trial, viewers learn of their very dark past in graphic detail.
Selling Sunset (Season 8)
I have to admit: Selling Sunset is the ONE reality TV show that has had me in a chokehold since it first aired in 2019. Now, I can’t even believe we’re eight seasons in and I still manage to watch a full season within a matter of days of it being released. Turns out, it really is that gripping to watch attractive people sell million-dollar homes in LA while airing out their personal drama with coworkers. For the perfect brain break show, I can’t recommend it enough.
Emily in Paris (Season 4)
Love triangles, passion, and fashion all await us once again in Paris. Throughout the show’s four seasons, viewers have come to love seeing Emily try (and sometimes fail) at juggling work, a social presence, and, of course, love.

The two met innocently enough in college and never realized the seemingly mundane choices they made back then could lead to dire consequences over the course of eight years.
