3 overlooked Netflix series to check out this weekend (February 28 – March 2)

      Starz

      The benefit of a Netflix subscription is the continuous influx of new and intriguing content waiting to be discovered. The streaming platform prides itself on adding fresh shows almost daily, ensuring a plethora of options for viewers to explore. However, this abundance can make it challenging to determine which shows to focus on, which is where we come in. We have curated a list of three underrated shows that you should definitely prioritize on Netflix. We also offer guides to the best films on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      **Black Sails (2014-2017)**

      A prequel to *Treasure Island*, *Black Sails* was initially produced by Starz and has gained significant popularity on Netflix in recent years. The storyline follows Captain Flint, a highly esteemed pirate who recruits a young John Silver for his crew. As Flint fights to preserve the pirate lifestyle and the indulgent atmosphere of his homeland, *Black Sails* depicts a pirate's life in all its gritty, glorious detail. Despite a smaller production budget, the series boasts an impressive sense of scale and will keep you engaged from start to finish. You can watch *Black Sails* on Netflix.

      **Murderville (2022)**

      *Murderville* is a clever comedy series that didn’t receive the recognition it deserves. It stars Will Arnett as a detective who collaborates with a celebrity guest to solve a murder. The twist is that while there is a script for the episode, neither Arnett nor his guest knows its content, as they are improvising throughout the show. Improv can lead to inconsistent results, but *Murderville* remains consistently funny, regardless of the celebrity guest. This was a bold move for Netflix, which should certainly have led to a renewal. You can watch *Murderville* on Netflix.

      **When They See Us (2019)**

      A compelling and challenging series, *When They See Us* recounts the story of the Central Park Five, beginning with their wrongful accusation of raping a jogger in Central Park. As they navigate a justice system that prioritizes race over their innocence, they come to realize that the truth alone will not grant them freedom. The series explores themes of injustice and systemic racism that sentenced five innocent young men to prison, drastically altering their lives. Directed by Ava DuVernay, it’s a tough watch but stands out as one of the finest true crime series. You can watch *When They See Us* on Netflix.

Each episode chronicles their investigations into local emergency calls as they cope with the loss of a fellow officer.

      Viewership ratings on Rotten Tomatoes show a stark contrast in opinions, with critics rating it 50% and audiences 90%. This disparity may have discouraged some viewers, but the favorable audience response commends the show's "believability." It's the kind of show where you should watch a few episodes and decide for yourself.
