      USA

      Almost everyone with a Netflix account is familiar with the experience of spending what feels like an eternity scrolling through options to find something to watch. While this exploration can sometimes be enjoyable, it often leads to the realization that it might be better to just head to bed.

      Fortunately, we've done the scrolling for you and narrowed down three Netflix shows that are definitely worth your time. These selections cater to various tastes, ensuring there's something for essentially everyone on this list.

      We also offer guides to the best movies on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      **Yellowjackets (2021-)**

      Though not originally a Netflix production, Yellowjackets has attracted a new audience on the platform. This series follows a high school girls’ soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. It serves as a fascinating exploration of how a scenario like Lord of the Flies might play out with primarily female characters. The intricate plot can sometimes be challenging to follow, but the compelling performances of both the young actresses and their adult counterparts make it worth watching.

      You can view Yellowjackets on Netflix.

      **Court of Gold (2025)**

      Basketball enthusiasts will enjoy Court of Gold, a documentary exploring four national basketball teams during the 2024 Olympic Games. Team USA aimed for its fifth consecutive Olympic gold, while France, Serbia, and Canada sought to demonstrate that the U.S. was no longer the undisputed basketball powerhouse. The excitement of the games is matched by the athletes’ personal stakes and how they handle either victory or defeat.

      You can watch Court of Gold on Netflix.

      **The Sinner (2017-2021)**

      This anthology series comprises four unique chapters, following detective Harry Ambrose as he investigates various cases, with each one spanning an entire season. While Bill Pullman serves as the series’ consistent anchor, the structure allows for a rotating cast of actors with each new case. The Sinner leans darker and more psychological than a series like Law & Order, while still offering a cozy detective show vibe with impressive casts each season.

      **Three Underrated Netflix Shows to Watch This Weekend (February 7-9)**

      While rewatching familiar shows can be comforting, you might sometimes crave something new to shake things up. Netflix has a plethora of intriguing series, but finding the right one can be daunting.

      That’s where we come in. We’ve compiled a list of three underrated Netflix shows that are definitely worth your time this weekend. Even better? Each series is relatively short, allowing you to finish it in one weekend or stretch it out a bit longer.

      We also provide guides to the best movies on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      **Penelope (2024)**

      An often-overlooked coming-of-age series, Penelope revolves around a young girl who feels disconnected from contemporary society and resolves to create a new life in the wilderness. Featuring a standout performance from Megan Stott, Penelope is beautifully filmed and embodies the fantasy of escaping modern life that many people yearn for today. While the coming-of-age genre often recycles familiar themes, Penelope stands out for its innovative approach.

      **One Day (2024)**

      The Western genre has evolved significantly over time. There was an era when Westerns were as prevalent as superhero films, yet today, their presence has largely shifted to television, and the few made for theaters often fail to draw large audiences.

      Netflix offers a strong selection of Westerns, and one that you shouldn't miss this February is Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1. Although it didn't achieve the box office success that star and director Kevin Costner may have anticipated, it tells the story of various characters converging on the establishment of a shared town. However, since it’s part one of a multi-part saga, it concludes before resolving the narrative. Here are three reasons to check it out now that it’s available on Netflix.

      **Costner can be a great director**

      Horizon is reminiscent of classic Westerns, showcasing expansive landscapes and sweeping vistas. Importantly, Costner knows which scenes to keep and which to edit in his three-hour film. By the end, each character's story feels fully developed. Although the narrative isn't finished, it leaves you eager for more.
