Lisa Kudrow standing in a kitchen and smiling in No Good Deed
When all 10 episodes of Virgin River's seventh season debuted at once on Thursday, March 12, the series instantly returned to the streaming summit. Millions in the U.S. have already indulged in the next chapter in nurse practitioner Mel's life in the titular cozy town, with the show now falling into second place on the charts, replaced by Beauty in Black.
With the likes of the live-action adaptation of One Piece and the reality series Age of Attraction also proving popular, Netflix is looking like the place to be for streaming fans. But with these four shows only a drop in the ocean of content on the streamer, here's a look at how to make the most of your subscription, via a list of three shows you should give a try on Netflix this week.Disclaimer: These titles are available on US Netflix. 1 'The Dinosaurs' Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 7.6/10 It's official: Dinosaurs are back in fashion. Following the blockbuster success of Jurassic World Rebirth last summer, Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment delivered an exploration of the Triassic reptiles as we'd never seen before earlier this month. The docuseries uncovers the cultural and ecological significance of the fascinating creatures, following their journey from origin to diversification and eventual extinction. Inspired by the success of Life on Our Planet, this David Attenborough-esque docuseries will take your breath away with both visual majesty and immersive educational detail. Narrated by the beloved Morgan Freeman, the series has already become an enormous streaming hit and cemented itself as one of the hottest shows on Netflix right now. With that in mind, you won't want to miss out. 2 'No Good Deed' Rotten Tomatoes: 80% | IMDb: 7.0/10 Sadly, some of the best Netflix shows are shown the exit door before their time. This was the eventual fate of the hit comedy No Good Deed after just one season. But despite its early cancellation, you won't want to let this gem pass you by. The series follows three families, all vying for a gorgeous 1920s Spanish-style villa as they seek to solve their many hilarious problems. Boasting a star-studded line-up of comedy talent, from Lisa Kudrow and Linda Cardellini to the ever-brilliant Ray Romano, No Good Deed is one of the easier binge-watches you could begin this week, at just eight episodes long. In Isabella Soares' review for Collider, she said that"No Good Deed evokes the nostalgic feelings of a Garry Marshall film but with a darker comedic vein."Would You Work Best In? The Pitt · ER · Grey's Anatomy · House · Scrubs Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, chaotic, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Ten questions will figure out exactly where you belong. 🚨The Pitt 🏥ER 💉Grey's Anatomy 🔬House 🩺Scrubs FIND YOUR HOSPITAL → QUESTION 1 / 10APPROACH 01 A critical patient comes through the door. What's your first instinct? Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are. AStay completely present — block everything else out and work through it step by step, right now. BTriage fast and delegate — get the right people on the right problems immediately. CTrust my gut and move — I work best when I stop overthinking and just act. DAsk the question everyone else is ignoring — what's the thing that doesn't fit? ETake a breath, make a joke to cut the tension, and then get to work — panic helps no one. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10MOTIVATION 02 Why did you go into medicine in the first place? The honest answer says more about you than the one you'd give in an interview. ABecause I wanted to be where it matters most — right at the edge, when someone's life is actually on the line. BBecause I wanted to help people — genuinely, one patient at a time, in a system that makes it hard. CBecause I was drawn to the intensity of it — the stakes, the drama, the feeling of being fully alive. DBecause medicine is the most interesting puzzle there is — and I needed a problem worth solving. EBecause I wanted to make a difference — and also, honestly, I didn't know what else to do with my life. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10COLLEAGUES 03 What do you actually want from the people you work with? Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are. ACompetence and calm — I need people who don't fall apart when things get bad. BTrust and reliability — I want to know that when I pass something off, it's handled. CConnection — I want colleagues who become family, even if that gets complicated. DIntelligence and the willingness to be challenged — I have no interest in people who just agree with me. EFriendship — people I actually like spending twelve hours a day with, because those hours are going to happen either way. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10PRESSURE 04 How do you actually perform under extreme pressure? The worst shifts reveal things about you that the good ones never will. AI narrow in — everything irrelevant falls away and I become completely focused on what's in front of me. BI lead — pressure is when I'm at my most useful, keeping everyone else on track while managing my own fear. CI feel it fully and work through it — I don't pretend the fear isn't there, I just don't let it win. DI get sharper — high stakes are clarifying. This is exactly the environment I think best in. EI hold it together in the moment and fall apart slightly afterwards — which I've made my peace with. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS 05 You lose a patient you fought hard to save. How do you carry it? Every doctor who's worked a long shift has had to answer this question. AI carry it. All of it. I don't look for ways to put it down — that weight is part of doing this work honestly. BI process it and move — you have to, or the next patient suffers for the one you just lost. CI feel it deeply and lean on the people around me — I don't think you're supposed to handle that alone. DI go back over every decision — not to punish myself, but because I need to understand what I missed. EI grieve it genuinely, find some way to laugh about something unrelated, and try to be kind to myself — imperfectly. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10STYLE 06 How would your colleagues describe the way you work? Your reputation on the floor is usually more accurate than your self-image. AIntense and completely present — no small talk during a shift, but exactly who you want there. BSteady and dependable — not the flashiest in the room but never the one who drops something. CPassionate and occasionally chaotic — brilliant on the hard cases, prone to drama everywhere else. DBrilliant and difficult — right more often than anyone else, and everyone knows it, including me. EWarm and self-deprecating — not the most intimidating presence, but genuinely good at this and easy to like. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10RULES 07 How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure? Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice. AProtocol is the floor, not the ceiling — I follow it until the patient needs something it can't provide. BI respect it — the system is broken in places, but the structure is there for a reason and I work within it. CI follow it until my instincts tell me not to — and my instincts are usually right, even when they cause problems. DRules are for people who haven't thought hard enough about when to break them. EI try to follow it and mostly do — with a few memorable exceptions that still come up in meetings. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10SPECIALISM 08 What kind of medical work do you find most compelling? What draws your attention when you walk through those doors matters. AEmergency and trauma — I want to see everything, handle anything, and never know what's coming next. BGeneral emergency medicine — breadth over depth, keeping the whole machine running under impossible conditions. CSurgery — I want to be in the room where the most consequential thing happening is happening right now. DDiagnostics — the cases no one else can solve, the symptoms that don't add up, the answer hiding underneath everything. EWhatever needs doing — I'm a generalist at heart and I find something interesting in almost every patient. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10TOLL 09 What does this job cost you personally? Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What's yours? AEverything outside these walls — I've given this job my full attention and the rest of my life has gone around it. BMy idealism, mostly — I came in believing the system could be fixed and I've made a complicated peace with that. CStability — my personal life has been as chaotic as the OR, and that's not entirely a coincidence. DMy relationships — I am not easy to know, and the people who've tried to would probably agree. EMy sense of gravity — I use humour as a coping mechanism, which not everyone appreciates in a hospital. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10PURPOSE 10 At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back? The answer to this question is the most honest thing about you. AThe fact that it's real — that nothing else I could be doing would matter this much, right now, today. BThe patients — individual human beings who needed something and got it because I was there. CThe people I work with — I have walked through impossible things with these people and I'd do it again. DThe next unsolved case — there's always another puzzle, and I'm not done yet. EBecause despite everything — the exhaustion, the loss, the absurdity — I actually love this job. REVEAL MY HOSPITAL → Your Assignment Has Been Made You Belong In… Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for. PITTSBURGH TRAUMA MEDICAL CENTER The Pitt You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown. The Pitt doesn't romanticise the work — it puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn't let you look away. You are someone who needs their work to be real, who finds meaning not in the drama surrounding medicine but in medicine itself, and who has made peace with the fact that this job will take from you constantly and give back in ways that are harder to name. You don't need the chaos to be aestheticised. You need it to be honest. Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is exactly that — and you would not want to be anywhere else. COUNTY GENERAL HOSPITAL, CHICAGO ER You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential. County General is built on the shoulders of people who show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without requiring the job to be anything other than what it is. You care deeply about patients as individual human beings, you believe in the system even when it fails you, and you understand that emergency medicine at its core is about holding the line between order and chaos for just long enough. ER is television about endurance, and you have it. GREY SLOAN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, SEATTLE Grey's Anatomy You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door. Grey Sloan is a hospital where the personal and the professional are permanently, chaotically entangled, and where that entanglement produces both the greatest disasters and the most remarkable saves. You are someone who feels things fully, who forms deep attachments to the people you work with, and who understands that the most extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection. It's messy here. You would not have it any other way. PRINCETON-PLAINSBORO TEACHING HOSPITAL, NJ House You are drawn to the problem above everything else. Not the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you'd deny it — but the case as a puzzle, the symptom that doesn't fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one. Princeton-Plainsboro is a hospital that exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind, and everyone around that mind is there because they are smart enough and stubborn enough to keep up. You work best when the stakes are highest, when the standard answer is wrong, and when the only way forward is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you would do here. SACRED HEART HOSPITAL, CALIFORNIA Scrubs You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure, and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time. Sacred Heart is a hospital where the laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable — where a terrible joke can get you through a terrible moment, and where the most ridiculous people are also, on their best days, remarkably good doctors. You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field. You lean on the people around you and you let them lean back. Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job — and you are still very much in the middle of that process, which is exactly right. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 3 'Supergirl' Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | IMDB: 6.2/10 Ready to pick up directly after the events of last year's Superman, Milly Alcock's Kara Zor-El will fly onto screens this summer when DC Studios' next tentpole project, Supergirl, debuts on June 26. Ahead of one of the year's biggest theatrical arrivals, why not check out the 2015 series of the same name? The series follows the titular Supergirl, played by Melissa Benoist, as she juggles a newfound responsibility over the safety of her city with complicated personal relationships.

Sure, this Supergirl adaptation is far from perfect, but when at its best, it's a fast-paced thrill ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. Tackling the superhero genre with a lighter touch and a bright sense of humor, the series is perfect for casual fans and those with a heavier interest in the lore, as Ali Adler, Greg Berlanti, and Andrew Kreisberg offer backstory for Krypton itself and Kara’s journey from the dying planet.
