The best part about Netflix is that I can fit a good TV series into my weekend and watch it at my own pace.Whether that means powering through a tight eight episodes of an addictive thriller in a single night, or savoring them over a couple of days, I love how all the episodes are there to watch them however I please.With that in mind, I've picked three Netflix shows for the weekend that you can go either way with, and a couple of them are new to the streamer.
One is a skin-crawling wedding horror, another is a brooding Scandinavian detective thriller, and the third is a Korean sci-fi that will literally get under your skin.3 Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen It's Twin Peaks meets Get Out in this new Netflix horror series I know the weather is getting warmer, but watching the first episode of Haley Z.Boston's brooding and unsettling new horror series, , gave me shivers I just could not shake—in a good way.
With the help of executive producers the Duffer Brothers (), Boston has created a satisfyingly bingable eight-part chill ride that mixes weirdness with the something-lies-beneath family fear of Jordan Peele's Rachel (Camila Morrone) and her fiancé Nicky (Adam DiMarco) are on a road trip to Nicky's family's cabin in the middle of nowhere for their wedding.But something dark and supernatural has been haunting Rachel, as the pair get sidetracked by some oddities—dead foxes everywhere, a baby left in a locked car, and a creepy old man at a dive bar who asks her," Are you sure he's the one?" When they get to the cold, labyrinthine cabin that just screams , Rachel's unease intensifies as she meets Nicky's eccentric family.The best part? Iconic actress Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as Nicky's mother, who's got a dark family secret that Rachel will soon discover.

Speaking of , though, that show's excellent Joel Kinnaman () co-stars as Harry's nemesis, corrupt colleague Tom Waaler, who is not very nice at all.is everything we love about Nordic noir shows—it's dark, twisty, and its Oslo and wild Norwegian locations add to the brooding sparseness when it needs to.So far, the series has a 92% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and can be binged in a weekend.
