three best – Netflix’s U.S. charts are staying stubbornly familiar in June. The Boroughs is back near the top after hitting 35 million hours viewed in three days, while The Four Seasons returns for a Steve Carell-less second season. But if you want three fresh binge option
The month’s started, and in the U.S. Netflix charts, it’s the same names doing the talking. The Boroughs—the latest project from Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers—has climbed back into one of the most-watched spots in the country after a release-speed stat that’s hard to ignore: the series hit 35 million hours viewed in three days.
Yet the No. 1 show on Netflix in the U.S. isn’t new at all. It’s The Four Seasons, the adaptation of the 1981 movie of the same name, returning for its Steve Carell-less second season last week.
So what else is worth committing to while everyone else is stuck on autopilot? Here are three series available on US Netflix that make the case for binge time.
“Hawaii Five-0” (2010–2020)
Reboots can be risky, and Hawaii Five-0’s turnaround is one of the brighter examples. In 2010, bringing CBS’ action drama back—16 years ago since it debuted—was a big bet on a show people already loved. It paid off.
Now, with the series officially ending six years ago, Netflix lets viewers stream the first five seasons. The story centers on United States Navy officer Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin), who returns home and finds his father’s killer, then sets up his own crime-fighting group: Five-0.
It’s not just the premise that keeps it going. The show ran for over 240 episodes. Roughly half of those are available to stream on Netflix.
And over its decade-long run, Hawaii Five-0 won four Primetime Emmys, along with countless other prizes and nominations.
“A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” (2024–Present)
If you’re looking for something bingeable that feels like a locked-room mystery you can’t stop reopening. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder has momentum right now. Production on Wednesday Season 3 is well underway. but between Netflix viewing waves. one of the show’s stars has already returned with a second season of her British detective series.
That second season is available to binge in full now, and it’s also currently one of the 10 most-watched Netflix shows in the world.
The series is based on Holly Jackson’s popular book trilogy. Emma Myers stars as Pip Fitz-Amobi, whose investigation into the mysterious murder of a local schoolgirl pulls her into something deeper than she expected—she has a talent for crime-solving.
The second season adapts the beloved second installment in the novel trilogy, Good Girl, Bad Blood.
“Never Have I Ever” (2020–2023)
Sometimes the best binge isn’t the darkest one—it’s the comedy that still finds a way to hit. Never Have I Ever leans into the coming-of-age story with the energy of a laugh, but it doesn’t dodge what adulthood actually asks of people.
Created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, the series follows Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), a first-generation Indian-American teenager. She’s navigating teen angst on the cusp of adulthood while also balancing an understanding of her cultural position in a divided America.
The show has the kind of reception that matches its charm: Rotten Tomatoes has it at 94%, and IMDb lists it at 7.8/10.
It’s also positioned in the Netflix binge conversation for a reason. It’s often compared to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and it’s currently offered as a replacement for the Prime Video favorite ahead of its feature film return.
Never Have I Ever is described as a charming, hilarious, emotionally poignant series, and it’s also framed as a breakthrough for South Asian representation in mainstream America.
For anyone trying to decide what to press play on next. June’s Netflix mood is clear: the charts stay crowded with proven hits. but the best binge decisions still come down to what you want right now—crime-solving pressure. mysteries that refuse to stay buried. or a coming-of-age story that makes room for both comedy and real feeling.

Wait is The Boroughs like Stranger Things or is it a whole different thing? I’m confused why it’s back on top already.
35 million hours in 3 days sounds fake or like bots or something lol. Either way I guess I’m downloading Netflix again.
I thought Steve Carell was still in The Four Seasons? Like I saw something about him and now this says Steve Carell-less second season. Did he get fired or is it just a different character??
Hawaii Five-0 on Netflix makes sense, that show feels like it’s always on some streaming service. I don’t even watch but my cousin says every season is basically the same plot over and over, so binge away I guess.
