Described as “action-packed but disappointing” in Therese Lacson‘s review for Collider, Outer Banks returned for its fifth and final season last week and quickly climbed to the top of the streaming charts. The return of John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) for one more season filled with twists, turns, and laughs was always expected to be a hit, with no series currently managing to rival its popularity on Netflix. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other shows worth watching. With that in mind, here are three shows you should binge-watch on Netflix this week.

1 ‘Yellowjackets’ (2021–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 7.7/10
Not only have we been treated to the first teaser footage for Season 4 of the hit series Yellowjackets, but this past week we learned that it will officially debut on Paramount+ on November 20. Ahead of its arrival, whether you’ve watched before or it has thus far passed you by, why not begin a binge of one of the most indulgent, inventive thrillers of the decade on Netflix?
Following a talented high school girls’ soccer team that becomes stranded in the remote Canadian wilderness after a plane crash, Yellowjackets blends a time-weaving story with some truly terrific performances for a series you won’t want to put down. Having earned 10 Primetime Emmy nominations so far, the series is a huge hit with both fans and critics, with the many twists and turns all culminating in one explosive final season this November.
TEST YOUR SURVIVAL →
01
Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do?
First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.
A Leave immediately. I don’t need to understand a threat to respect it.
B Stay quiet and observe. If I can see it, I can understand it. If I can understand it, I can avoid it.
CStay awake. Whatever this is, I am not going to sleep until I feel safe again.
DConfront it directly. Fear grows in the dark — I’d rather know what I’m dealing with.
ECheck everything, trust nothing. The threat might be closer than I think — and smaller.

02
Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong?
Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.
ASomewhere remote — a cabin, a campsite, off the grid and away from people.
BA quiet suburban neighbourhood where nothing ever happens. Except tonight.
CIn my own head — the most dangerous place of all, depending on what’s already in there.
DWherever children are — because something about this place attracts the worst things.
ESomewhere ordinary — a house, a toy store, a place where the last thing you’d expect is a threat.

03
What is your most reliable survival asset?
Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?
APhysical fitness — I can run, I can swim, I can outlast something that relies on brute persistence.
BSpatial awareness — I always know the exits, the hiding spots, the fastest route out.
CPsychological resilience — I’ve faced my worst fears before. They don’t have the same power over me.
DEmotional steadiness — I don’t panic. Panic is what gets you caught.
EScepticism — I don’t underestimate threats because of how they look. Size is irrelevant.

04
What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through?
Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.
A The unstoppable — something that will not stop, cannot be reasoned with, and is always getting closer.
B The invisible — a threat I can feel but can’t locate, watching from somewhere I can’t see.
C The psychological — something that uses my own mind and memories against me.
D The unknowable — something ancient, shapeless, that feeds on the fear itself.
E The mundane — a threat so ordinary-looking that no one will believe me until it’s too late.

You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role?
