‘Below’ (2026)
Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | IMDb: 6.3/10
It’s the final full week of October, and it’s time to catch up on this month’s gigantic hits. Of all the favorites on Netflix, few have proven more popular than the six-episode miniseries Below, written and created by The Umbrella Academy‘s Jesse McKeown. The series stars Josh Hartnett — who also debuted his movie Verity in theaters this month — as a fisherman who must defend his still community from a terrifying, mysterious sea creature.
Packed with tension, Below is the perfect pre-Halloween watch on Netflix. Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things), Mackenzie Davis (The Martian), Ruby Stokes (Rocks), and more feature alongside Hartnett in a series that caught the eye of critics, including Collider’s Carly Lane, who awarded it a 7/10 in her review. “By the time you’ve concluded your own visit to Below, you might not be tempted to return, but you won’t regret spending a weekend there,” she wrote.

‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ (2022–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 90% | IMDb: 8.3/10
Of all the must-watch fresh content on Netflix, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 should be at the top of your list. Created by CD Projekt Red and acclaimed Japanese animation studio TRIGGER, this hugely popular series is set in the harrowing Night City, a community obsessed with strange technology and body modification. One Street Kid’s attempt to survive sees him become an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.
The first season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners earned widespread acclaim, scoring a perfect 100% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes as critics praised the show’s visual and narrative flair. For Season 2, the stage has been set for another unmissable season of original net animation, with Bartosz Sztybor returning as showrunner, writer, and producer.
3
‘Mayor of Kingstown’ (2021–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 64% | IMDb: 8.1/10
Sometimes, you simply can’t beat an indulgent Taylor Sheridan series, and his presence is felt across multiple platforms, not just Paramount+. Recently, one of his best series made the move to Netflix and is already proving popular. Mayor of Kingstown is a pulse-racing crime thriller starring MCU alum Jeremy Renner as ex-con Mike McLusky, who becomes the de facto mayor of the titular Kingstown after the death of his brother.
Oozing tension and drama, each moment of Mayor of Kingstown has the potential to drop your jaw as twists wait around every corner. Sheridan is a master of his craft, and with a talented cast at his disposal, including Renner, Dianne Wiest, Hugh Dillon, and Taylor Handley, it feels as if anything is possible. Ahead of the show’s confirmed fifth and final season, don’t miss out on Mayor of Kingstown.
