The latest
Netflix is giving subscribers a crowded July slate, with The Sunday Times highlighting 20 shows to watch, from Avatar and The Diplomat to the Kylie documentary and the final run of Stranger Things.
Details
• New picks: The list includes Avatar, I Will Find You, Kylie, Legends, Unchosen and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.
• Returning titles: Recommendations include Bridgerton, Wednesday, The Diplomat, Nobody Wants This, Squid Game and Stranger Things.
• Crime hook: I Will Find You adapts Harlan Coben’s story of a father wrongly accused of killing his son.
• Documentary slate: Kylie, A Gorilla Story and Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere stand out among the factual picks.
• Genre spread: The list moves from rom-coms and political thrillers to absurdist horror, fantasy, survival drama and true crime.
Between the lines
The list is not just a guide to Netflix’s best shows. It also exposes the platform’s central problem: too much content now requires a critic to rescue viewers from choice fatigue.
What to watch
The Sunday Times will update the list weekly, with The Hawk due on July 17 and Ransom Canyon arriving on July 23.
