As November rolls on, Netflix's top 10 is buzzing with fresh arrivals and returning favorites. While true crime fans are glued to Taken: Natalee Holloway, and the rom-com charm of Nobody Wants This Season 3 keeps climbing, there's a trio of shows that deserve your binge-watching attention this week. Whether you're in the mood for high-stakes drama, psychological thrills, or a clever sci-fi twist, these picks have you covered.
Power (2014–2020)
If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to dive into one of the most gripping crime dramas of the past decade, that moment is now. Power, the Starz hit that spawned a whole universe of spin-offs, has landed on Netflix, and it's an absolute must-watch. The series stars Omari Hardwick as James "Ghost" St. Patrick, a man juggling two lives: by day, he's a successful nightclub owner; by night, he's a ruthless drug kingpin in New York City.
Over six seasons and 63 episodes, Power delivered relentless tension, unforgettable characters, and a level of grit that kept viewers hooked from start to finish. With spin-offs like Power Book II: Ghost, Book III: Raising Kanan, and Book IV: Force already out, and two more on the way (Power: Origins and Power: Legacy), there's no better time to catch up on the original. If you're a fan of crime sagas with complex antiheroes, this is your show.
Yellowjackets
Few shows have generated as much buzz as Yellowjackets, and with the final season premiering on November 20, now's the time to binge or rewatch. This dual-timeline thriller follows a high school girls' soccer team whose plane crashes in the remote Canadian wilderness, forcing them to survive for months. Twenty-five years later, the survivors are still haunted by what happened—and by the secrets they've kept buried.
The show has earned critical acclaim and a whopping 10 Primetime Emmy nominations, thanks to its stellar cast, including Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, and Hilary Swank. The upcoming season adds even more star power with guest appearances from June Squibb, Elijah Wood, Molly Ringwald, Devon Sawa, Sam Braun, and Dulé Hill. If you haven't jumped on the Yellowjackets bandwagon yet, this is your chance to get ready for the epic finale.
The Boroughs
For something a little different, check out The Boroughs, a sci-fi mystery series from the minds behind Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers. Set in a quiet retirement community, the show follows a group of unlikely heroes—residents who must band together to save the world from a mysterious threat. It's a fresh take on the genre, blending heartfelt storytelling with a clever, suspenseful plot.
Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, The Boroughs impressed critics and audiences alike with its emotional depth and standout performances from a cast that includes Alfred Molina, Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, and Clarke Peters. Unfortunately, despite its quality, the show was cancelled after just one season due to high production costs and viewership that, while solid, didn't meet expectations. But that doesn't make it any less worth your time—especially if you're looking for a smart, character-driven sci-fi story.
So, whether you're in the mood for crime, suspense, or a touch of the supernatural, these three shows offer something for every taste.
