The Netflix charts have changed once again as we head into another weekend on the streamer, as The Beast in Me, a mystery series starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, climbs into first place. Currently, the Gabe Rotter-helmed series is outperforming several big-name shows, including the historical thriller Death by Lightning, the inevitable return of Stranger Things ahead of the new season's debut, and the Liam Hemsworth-led The Witcher Season 4, with the latter even dropping out of the top 10 entirely. Before the world becomes consumed back into the Upside Down, there's plenty of other Netflix content to keep you entertained. So, with that in mind, here's a look at three Netflix shows you should binge-watch this weekend.

3 'A Man on the Inside' (2024–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 94% | IMDb: 7.6/10
This past Thursday, one of Netflix's most underrated shows returned for its second season, and a list of recommendations for this weekend would be incomplete without it. A Man on the Inside stars Ted Danson as Charles Nieuwendyk, a retired man grieving the loss of his wife, who finds a new lease of life through an unlikely ad from a private investigator. Ready to go undercover as a mole, will Charles be able to solve the mystery?
Loosely inspired by the 2020 Chilean documentary The Mole Agent, Michael Schur reunites with Danson following their acclaimed work on The Good Place to create this brilliantly quirky comedy. Boasting a 94% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season was met with enormous praise from both critics and audiences, with the second, so far, proving just as popular, with Collider's Meredith Loftus calling it a "delightfully cozy mystery series" in her Season 2 review.
2 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory' (2024–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 7.5/10
If A Man on the Inside isn't to your taste but you'd love to catch something new this weekend, look no further than Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. This past Thursday, the fourth and final season of the acclaimed animated series developed by Scott Kreamer and Zack Stentz officially debuted on Netflix, and now is the perfect time for newbies to catch up, especially following the box office triumph of this summer's Jurassic World Rebirth.
This beautifully animated series combines clever storytelling with endearing characters to tell the tale of the Camp Cretaceous gang, as they uncover a shocking conspiracy that puts both their own lives and the lives of the dinosaurs at risk. The series features four seasons and 40 episodes in total, with each episode between 21 and 25 minutes long, making for an easy and fulfilling binge-watch this weekend.
1 'Travelers' (2016–2018)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.0/10
Perhaps your weekend is best used discovering a hidden gem on Netflix. In that case, why not give one of the most underrated sci-fi shows of the past 10 years a try? The Canadian show Travelers follows humans of the future who develop time-travel technology and head back to the 21st century. The twist? This time travel can only send the consciousness of the person back in time, making for a fresh sci-fi viewing experience.
Only the best shows can earn a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with Travelers boasting just that. Cruelly underappreciated during awards seasons, Travelers deserved much more credit than it received during its short run. Featuring a stellar cast, a refreshing sci-fi concept, and 34 episodes of gripping, dystopian drama, Travelers is an entirely addictive series.
