Netflix has been on a hot streak lately, and last week's second season of Running Point—starring Oscar nominee Kate Hudson—has already climbed to the top of the streaming charts. But while you're catching up on that sports comedy hit, don't let these three other gems slip through your fingers. Whether you're in the mood for a tense cult drama, a laugh-out-loud gardening show, or an addictive teen series, your April 27 binge is sorted.
1. 'Unchosen' — A Cult Thriller That's Already a Hit
If you loved Adolescence or The Handmaid's Tale, Unchosen is your next obsession. This British drama, created by Julie Greary, follows a mother trapped in a conservative Christian cult whose world is shaken when an escaped convict offers her a glimpse of freedom.

2. 'This Is a Gardening Show' (2026) — Zach Galifianakis Gets His Hands Dirty
Zach Galifianakis trades Between Two Ferns for a trowel in This Is a Gardening Show, a docuseries that's as hilarious as it is unexpectedly heartwarming. With a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and an IMDb score of 7.7, this show proves that even gardening can be comedy gold.
Galifianakis brings his signature deadpan wit to the world of soil, seeds, and pruning, offering genuinely helpful tips while cracking you up.

One of the most addictive teen series of the decade has officially ended, and now's the time to binge it all. Heartbreak High, a soft reboot of the 1994 Australian classic, follows the chaotic lives of students at Hartley High. Think Sex Education but with more sun, surf, and Aussie slang.
With a 78% Rotten Tomatoes score and an IMDb rating of 7.7, this show tackles everything from romance to identity with humor and heart. The cast—including Ayesha Madon, Thomas Weatherall, and Asher Yasbincek—is phenomenal. If you're a fan of teen dramas that don't pull punches, this is your weekend binge. And if you're already planning ahead, check out Netflix's May 2026 lineup for what's coming next.
