The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (2024)

A British historical comedy, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin stars Noel Fielding (The Great British Bake-Off) as the title character. Turpin is, in fact, a real person. He was an English highwayman who was executed for horse theft in the 1700s after earning a reputation as a poacher, burglar, and killer. But this series is, as the name implies, a fictional account of his life.

As leader of the Essex Gang, petty criminal Turpin is being pursued by vigilante Jonathan Wilde and an organization known as The Syndicate. It’s a humorous take on an otherwise chilling tale that has been wel- received by critics and viewers alike. Reviewers like Barbara Ellen of the Observer UK praise the “droll and silly” nature of the show, along with its “wry, surrealist kick.”

Extraordinary (2023)

Now in its second season, Extraordinary is likely one of the superhero comedies you hadn’t heard about. The British series is about an alternate world where people gain special powers when they turn 18. But Jen (Máiréad Tyers) is 25 and frustratingly still waiting for hers to kick in. Her life is anything but rosy, as she’s working a dead-end job, dating a man who literally flies away from her after they are intimate, and living as a third wheel with her best friend, Carrie (Sofia Oxenham), and her boyfriend, Kash (Bilal Hasna). It doesn’t help that Jen’s stepsister immediately received her powers the moment she became an official adult, sparking intense jealousy.

Extraordinary might be about a woman who lacks actual powers, but it’s also commentary on the pressures young people feel to fit in, live up to expectations, and compete with their peers. With a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating for its first season, Extraordinary beautifully weaves satirical comedy with deeper, more emotional moments as Jen struggles to find her place in a powerful world when she seemingly has none.

Stream Extraordinary on Hulu. 

The Gentlemen (2024)

Receiving generally positive reviews since it debuted earlier this month, The Gentlemen is one of those shows you might have heard of, and maybe even saw it pop up on your Netflix recommended list, but you never thought to start streaming. You should, because the Guy Ritchie action comedy is very entertaining. It stars Theo James (The White Lotus) as Edward “Eddie” Horniman, the newly appointed Duke of Halstead following the passing of his father. But he soon discovers that his family land is being used by a drug lord who has no plans to relocate his empire. Now, the former United Nations peacekeeper must figure out how to keep the peace on his home turf.

Serving as a spinoff to Ritchie’s 2019 movie of the same name, The Gentlemen offers a bit of everything, from plot twists to comedy, violence and compelling characters. It’s the type of show that’s perfect to watch when you aren’t sure what kind of show you want to watch.

Like the hit Netflix true crime series The Program? Then watch these 3 shows now
A group of teenagers on their knees in 'The Program.'

There are plenty of great Netflix shows about basically whatever it might be that you want to watch. Among the many things that Netflix is great at is true crime docuseries, which it has released steadily since its earliest days as a streamer.

One of those recent documentaries is The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping, which tells the story of one woman who decides to expose the seedy underbelly behind the "troubled teen" industry. The documentary is riveting from beginning to end, but if you've already finished it, we've found three other docuseries that might be great follow-ups. Not all of these docs are the easiest to watch, but if you want something thrilling, these will fit the bill.
