Shrill, Resident Alien, and Grey's Anatomy make up our list of the best shows to binge on Netflix the week of June 8th, 2026.
Following the success of The Boroughs, the latest project from Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers, and a Steve Carell-less second season of The Four Seasons, it's a true crime reaction to a big box office triumph that is currently taking the top spot.
In contrast to the glitz and glam of Antoine Fuqua’s musical biopic, Michael, Michael Jackson: The Verdict takes a more honest look at the controversial side of Jackson's life, and is proving hugely popular in America. Aside from this true crime favorite, what else should you be watching this week? To help you decide, here's a list of three shows you should binge-watch on Netflix.

Disclaimer: These titles are available on US Netflix. 1 'Shrill' Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | IMDb: 7.4/10 If you're looking to uncover a gem in the Netflix catalog this week, look no further than the comedy-drama series Shrill. Developed by Aidy Bryant, Alexandra Rushfield, and Lindy West, this series follows Bryant's plus-sized Annie, a journalist living in Portland, as she looks for ways to change her life without feeling pressured into changing her body.
An important series with a pressing message, Shrill is just as relevant today as it was in 2019. Based on the aforementioned West’s memoir Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, this groundbreaking series ran for three acclaimed seasons, during which it earned several accolades, including a Primetime Emmy nomination for Bryant's lead performance in 2021. COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Personality Quiz Which Sci-Fi Hero Are You Most Like?
Paul Atreides · Captain Kirk · Princess Leia · Ellen Ripley · Max Rockatansky Five iconic heroes. Five completely different ways of facing an impossible universe. One of them shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of refusing to back down. Eight questions will tell you which one.
🏜️Paul Atreides 🖖Capt. Kirk ✊Princess Leia 🔦Ellen Ripley 🔥Max Rockatansky FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 8LEADERSHIP 01 How do you lead when the stakes couldn't be higher? The way you lead under pressure is the most honest thing about you. AI absorb everything — every variable, every pattern — and move only when I know the path forward.
BI read the room, make the call, and own the consequences. Hesitation costs more than mistakes. CI rally people. A cause needs a voice, and I refuse to let fear be louder than conviction.
DI assess the threat, establish what needs doing, and get it done without waiting for permission. EI don't lead. I act. Others can follow or not — I'm already moving.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 8STRENGTH 02 What is your greatest strength in a crisis? The quality that keeps you alive when everything else fails. APrescience — the ability to see further ahead than anyone else and plan accordingly. BImprovisation — I'm at my best when the plan falls apart and I have to invent a new one.
CConviction — I know what I'm fighting for, and that certainty doesn't waver under fire. DComposure — I stay functional when everyone around me is falling apart. Panic is a luxury. EEndurance — I outlast things.
I take the hit and keep moving long after others have stopped. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 8MOTIVATION 03 What is the thing you'd sacrifice everything else for? Your deepest motivation is your truest compass. AThe survival and dignity of my people — even if I have to become something frightening to ensure it.
BThe safety of my crew — every single one of them. No one gets left behind. CFreedom — for my people, for every world still crushed under the weight of an empire. DThe truth — what actually happened, what's actually out there, whether anyone believes me or not.
EThe one person — or the one memory — that still makes any of this worth surviving for. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 8PEOPLE 04 How do you relate to the people around you? Who you are to others under pressure is who you really are. AWith intensity and distance — I care deeply, but the weight I carry makes closeness complicated.
BWith warmth and irreverence — I take the mission seriously, not myself. CWith directness and trust — I say what I mean, and I expect the people I work with to rise to it. DWith professional care but clear limits — I'll protect you, but I won't pretend we're family. EWith wariness that slowly becomes loyalty — I don't trust easily, but when I do, it holds.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 8THREAT 05 You're facing a threat that no one else believes is real. What do you do? How you respond when you're the only one who sees it defines everything. APrepare in silence.
If they won't listen, I'll be ready when they finally have to. BKeep pushing until someone listens — and if no one does, handle it myself. CBuild the case, find the allies, and make the threat impossible to ignore. DDocument everything.
The truth matters even if no one believes it yet. EStop trying to convince anyone. Survive it. That's the only argument that counts.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 8COST 06 What has your heroism cost you personally? Every hero pays. The question is what — and whether they'd pay it again. AMy innocence — I've seen what I'm capable of, and I can't unsee it.
BPeople I loved — the command chair has a view, but it's a lonely one. CA normal life — I gave up everything ordinary the moment I chose the cause. DMy sense of safety — I know exactly what's out there now, and I can't pretend otherwise. EAlmost everything — and I'm still not sure what I'm carrying it all for.
But I keep going. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 8RULES 07 How do you feel about the rules of the world you're in? Every hero has a relationship with the system. What's yours?
AI understand them deeply — and I know exactly which ones must be broken, and why. BI respect the spirit of them and bend the letter when the situation demands it. CThe system is the problem. I'm not here to work within it — I'm here to dismantle it.
DI follow protocol until protocol stops being useful. Then I make the call myself. EThe rules collapsed a long time ago. What's left is instinct, and mine are reliable.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 8PURPOSE 08 When everything is on the line, what keeps you going? The answer is the most honest thing about you. ADestiny — or something that feels so much like it that the difference no longer matters. BThe people on my ship — their faces, their trust, the fact that they're counting on me.
CThe belief that what we're fighting for is worth every sacrifice, including this one. DSheer refusal to let it win — whatever it is. I don't stop. That's just who I am.
EI'm not sure anymore. But the road is still there, and I'm still on it. REVEAL MY HERO → Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is… Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.
Arrakis · Dune Paul Atreides You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you're capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become. USS Enterprise · Star Trek Captain Kirk You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you've always believed there's a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
The Rebellion · Star Wars Princess Leia You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you're fearless, but because giving up simply isn't something you're capable of. The Nostromo · Alien Ellen Ripley You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone's hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
The Wasteland · Mad Max Max Rockatansky You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 2 'Resident Alien' Rotten Tomatoes: 98% | IMDb: 8.0/10 A show can't be rated 98% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes without doing something right. For comedy, drama, and plenty of grounded sci-fi this week, Resident Alien is the perfect choice.
The show follows Alan Tudyk's titular alien, on a mission to destroy Earth, who assumes the identity of a human doctor, Harry, and starts to fall in love with his new surroundings. Originally airing on SyFy, the show made the move to Netflix a while back, although the final fourth season was frustratingly missing. Thankfully, last weekend, Resident Alien Season 4 debuted on Netflix with the complete collection, making for a perfect binge-watch.
Don't miss out on this hilarious, heartwarming gem this week, with all 44 episodes finally available. 3 'Grey's Anatomy' Rotten Tomatoes: 84% | IMDb: 7.6/10 Sometimes, you can't beat the classics. Perhaps the most famous medical drama of all time, and a series everyone should watch at least once, why not begin your binge of Grey's Anatomy this week?
Following the show's 22nd coming to an end on May 7, head back to where it all began, as a new batch of interns join what will soon be named Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, unaware of the chaos about to unfold.
