After Little House on the Prairie and Will Ferrell's The Hawk dominated Netflix's charts, the streaming giant still has plenty of hidden gems worth your time. Whether you're craving pulse-pounding zombie action, a cozy small-town escape, or a laugh-out-loud comedy, this week's lineup has something for everyone. Here are three shows you should add to your queue right now.
1. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023–2026)
Just yesterday, Season 3 of this fan-favorite spin-off shambled onto Netflix, making it the perfect weekday binge. Originally airing on AMC+ last year, the series follows Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) as they battle the undead and search for hope in a post-apocalyptic world.
While the show may not win any awards for narrative subtlety, it more than compensates with heart-stopping action and genuinely creepy horror sequences. Reedus delivers another standout performance, blending grit with surprising emotional depth. With a stacked supporting cast, this spin-off proves that the Walking Dead universe still has plenty of bite. For more top picks, check out our Top Netflix Picks for July 20, 2026.
2. Sullivan's Crossing (2023–Present)
If you're missing Gilmore Girls (which recently left Netflix), this charming series is the perfect replacement. Based on the novels by Robyn Carr (author of Virgin River), Sullivan's Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) as she abandons her high-pressure career and moves to Nova Scotia. Her biggest challenge? Reconnecting with her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson).
With its gorgeous coastal scenery and emotionally rich storytelling, the show is a feel-good escape that doesn't shy away from real heartache. It's easy to binge during a busy week, and the performances—especially from Patterson—are top-notch. If you're in the mood for more small-town drama, don't miss Netflix's 'Heartstopper Forever', which also delivers emotional warmth.
3. The Kominsky Method (2018–2021)
Looking for an undiscovered gem? The Kominsky Method is a must-binge. Created by Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Mom), this comedy-drama stars Michael Douglas as Sandy Kominsky, an aging acting coach who finds new purpose in his twilight years. The late Alan Arkin co-stars as his best friend, delivering a performance that's both hilarious and heartbreaking.
Over three seasons and 22 episodes, the series earned 12 Primetime Emmy nominations (though it never won). It's a warm, witty, and surprisingly profound look at friendship, aging, and second chances. Douglas has never been better, and the chemistry between the leads is electric. For more binge-worthy brilliance, explore our list of 10 Perfect Apple TV+ Shows Under 5 Seasons.
Whether you're in the mood for zombies, small-town charm, or a comedy classic, these three shows will keep you glued to your screen all week. Happy streaming!
