      We’ve compiled three distinct shows that you can enjoy on Netflix. Whether you seek comedy, drama, or something a bit unconventional, these fantastic shows are available for streaming right now.

      In need of additional suggestions? Check out the best new shows to stream this week, along with the top shows on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      **Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney (2025-)**

      Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney is one of the most unique experiments that Netflix has created. It also stands out as one of its best offerings. This late-night talk show is quirkier and more captivating than most others you might have encountered. John Mulaney hosts a lineup of guests who discuss a particular topic that may or may not interest the celebrities involved.

      Live callers also join in to share stories related to the subject at hand, and there’s a snack robot that provides refreshments. Additionally, Richard Kind adds his charm to the mix. Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney is unpredictable and eccentric, which are key aspects of its charm.

      **Dark Winds (2022-)**

      Offering a fascinating twist on the contemporary cop genre, Dark Winds follows officers of the Navajo Tribal Police as they investigate crimes on the reservation in the 1970s. As they uncover hidden truths about their community and the darkness that lies within, they must reflect on their own lives and the secrets they’ve buried.

      Dark Winds seamlessly blends traditional crime procedural elements with something more unique and a touch unusual. Anchored by an outstanding lead performance from Zahn McClarnon, this show truly deserves more viewers.

      **The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)**

      Loosely based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher is the latest and perhaps most underrated miniseries from Mike Flanagan on Netflix. The narrative unfolds mainly through flashbacks and focuses on a wealthy family whose fortune comes from the pharmaceutical industry, as they experience a series of family deaths.

      As we delve deeper into the dark deal that led to their wealth, we begin to understand the unsettling dynamics within the family and why each member is meeting a horrific end. With plenty of effective scares and a cast featuring Flanagan's regular collaborators, The Fall of the House of Usher warrants another look.
