‘I Will Find You’

Netflix’s latest collaboration with crime author supremo Harlan Coben, “I Will Find You,” shows no signs of slowing down as it enters its third week on the platform. This mystery drama mini-series has ruled as Netflix No. 1 pretty much since the moment it dropped on June 18, and is already among the platform’s most-watched shows of 2026. Clearly, Netflix subscribers aren’t close to worn out on Coben’s particular brand of twist-driven television.

Based on Coben’s 2023 novel of the same name, “I Will Find You” sees former law professor David Burroughs (Sam Worthington) imprisoned for the murder of his son. A crime he swears he didn’t commit. But when he receives information from his ex-wife (Britt Lower) that his son might still be alive, he is determined to break out of prison and find some answers.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’

Watch On

The second season of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s beloved “Avatar: The Last Airbender” cartoon hasn’t been able to overthrow “I Will Find You,” but it’s got the second spot on lockdown (as of writing). Fear not, this is no disaster like the terrible 2010 movie adaptation from M. Night Shyamalan, though critics note it doesn’t quite live up to the legacy of the animated original. Season 2 also has a problem with its rapidly aging young cast, but at least season 3 was filmed concurrently.

Following their costly victory over the Fire Nation at the culmination of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” season 1, Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio), and Sokka (Ian Ousley) must set off on a new quest. This time they’re hoping to convince the mysterious Earth King to join their cause as they seek a way to stop Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim) for good.

'Worst Neighbor Ever'

Watch On

If you were hooked by Netflix’s true-crime docuseries “Worst Roommate Ever,” wait till you’re introduced to these real-life neighbors from hell. Even just watching the trailer makes me very thankful that my worst experience with neighbors has been the occasional loud noise in the early hours of the morning.

This four-episode series looks like a must-watch for anybody who cannot get enough of true crime, and if the most-watched charts are any indication, that applies to many Netflix viewers. In this collection of hour-long episodes, you’ll meet paranoid neighbors with an axe to grind, experience an explosive feud in a quiet Indiana suburb, and witness a relentless harassment campaign that turns a couple’s living situation impossible to endure. After watching, you might wish to live in a remote cabin in the woods with no neighbors for miles.
