BROCKMIRE, Hank Azaria, (Season 1, 2017)
With so many streaming options on Netflix nowadays, it can feel next-to-impossible trying to find just one show to watch. Screen Rant offers weekly binge-guides and individual series recommendations to take the hassle out of figuring out what to watch.
This recently added series earned a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 98% and is currently flying under the radar on Netflix's top trending charts. It also has 4 seasons with a total of 32 episodes, making it perfect for viewers looking for a great show to sink into. Brockmire Is A Certified Fresh Netflix Hidden Gem Brockmire is one of the best shows recently added to Netflix in December 2025, and yet nobody seems to be talking about it. The critically acclaimed series, which aired on IFC from 2017 to 2020, is perfect for fans of sitcoms, dramedys, and sports-related feel-good series like Ted Lasso. Brockmire's premise actually sounds quite similar to that of HBO's comedic masterpiece Eastbound & Down, although instead of focusing on a washed-up professional baseball pitcher, it centers on a cancelled MLB game announcer. This lighthearted redemption story is also similar to that of Stick, Owen Wilson's golf dramedy series on Apple TV. It's unlikely that Brockmire will be topping Netflix's global streaming charts anytime soon, considering the upcoming release of Stranger Things season 5. Despite this, we've selected it as the #1 hidden gem series worth binge-watching on Netflix this week, thanks to its nostalgic feel and genuinely funny moments. Why Brockmire Is Worth Binge-Watching You don't have to be a big sports fan to get a kick out of Brockmire. Lead actor Hank Azaria, who played the titular defamed protagonist Jim Brockmire, makes the series accessible to just about anyone and everyone. You may recognize Azaria, a 6-time Emmy winner, from celebrated series such as Ray Donovan, Friends, and The Simpsons.

If you are a sports fan, however, Brockmire makes for a particularly special viewing experience since it features guest appearances from real-life sports broadcasters like Bob Costas and Joe Buck. The series also features a fantastic supporting cast that includes Amanda Peet, Richard Kind, and Tyrel Jackson Williams, who add a lot of humor and humility to the hit series. Brockmire has essentially been a hidden gem since its release, despite its successful 4-season run and critical acclaim. If you're looking to let loose this week with a fantastic series with sharp writing, strong performances, and guaranteed laughs, Brockmire is a top show to binge-watch on Netflix right now.
