Three Shows to Binge on Netflix This Week

With the 98th Academy Awards behind us and the dust still settling, television fans get a moment in the spotlight. Here are three shows available on US Netflix worth starting this week. A Friend, A Murderer (2026) is a three-part Danish true-crime docuseries (IMDb: 6.5/10) that follows the town of Korsør as it endures nearly a decade of assault, kidnapping and murder.

The series centers on three friends and the shock that comes when the perpetrator is revealed to be one of their close circle, exploring how the crimes tore their once-tight group apart. Beastars (2019–Present) — Rotten Tomatoes: 85% | IMDb: 7.6/10 — adapts Paru Itagaki’s manga into a dark coming-of-age tale set in a world where herbivores and carnivores coexist.

A classmate’s murder and a wolf’s awakening predatory urges threaten a fragile friendship with a rabbit; with 48 episodes now available, the series picked up momentum after the second half of Season 3 arrived this month.
