Black Doves

Black Doves is still one of our top new shows to watch on Netflix this week following its season 2 premiere last Thursday, November 5. The Keira Knightley-led spy thriller returned with six new episodes and earned a near-perfect 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, improving on its impressive 92% season 1 RT score.

For a quick and thrilling binge, look no further than Black Doves season 2.

Under Siege

Under Siege is another great new Netflix series that premiered on Friday, November 6, and is worth watching this week for fans of political thrillers and historical dramas. Under Siege chronicles the 1985 Palace of Justice hostage crisis that took place in Bogotá, Colombia, exactly 41 years before the Netflix series was released. Consisting of 8 episodes, Under Siege follows the real-life experiences of several people directly involved in the revolutionary attack, recreating a woman's journey to find her husband inside the Palace, as well as the nation's military response to the hostage crisis sparked by the urban guerrilla group M-19. With its sharp acting and elaborate story, Under Siege is the best new hidden gem on Netflix this week.

Power

All six seasons and 63 episodes of the hit Starz gangster crime series Power officially arrive on Netflix this Monday, November 9, making it the best new series to binge-watch for a long-term binge on the platform. Created by Courtney A. Kemp (The Good Wife) and executive produced by 50 Cent, who also stars in the series, Power was one of the most popular crime series of the 2010s and is now available to stream on Netflix for the first time ever in the United States. Power follows James "Ghost" St. Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick, a wealthy New York nightclub owner who lives a double life as a dangerous drug kingpin. If you love epic crime thrillers, Power is the best choice for you on Netflix this week.

The Empress

The Empress is one of Netflix's most highly anticipated new releases this week, with its third and final season arriving on Thursday, November 12. After premiering in 2022, The Empress has become one of Netflix's most celebrated period pieces, blending historical drama with epic romance and political intrigue. The series follows Empress Elisabeth of Austria as she meets and marries Emperor Franz Joseph during the mid-19th century in Vienna. The Empress earned an 89% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and is expected to draw significant viewership this week, especially on global charts. If you've been enjoying The Gilded Age on HBO Max, The Empress is perfect for you this week on Netflix.

The Body

The Body is ScreenRant's top recommendation to binge-watch on Netflix this week, with its series premiere set to arrive on Wednesday, November 11. Combining supernatural horror with coming-of-age drama over 8 episodes, The Body follows a rebellious Catholic school dance team who experience prophetic visions after an initiation goes wrong, stirring up a frenzy in their small hometown. Taking place in 2004, The Body features a talented ensemble cast and has a vintage millennial vibe with mind-bending psychological themes.
