3 Underrated Netflix Shows I Can’t Wait to Watch This Weekend (March 28-29): ‘Godless’ and More

For the fourth weekend of March 2026, Watch With Us can’t wait to dig into some Netflix shows that are way too slept on.

While everyone else watches Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen and Virgin River, we’ll be watching Netflix’s hidden-gem TV shows.

We want to highlight three great shows on the platform that you either forgot existed or never even heard of.

Our first pick is Godless, a neo-Western miniseries starring Sinners’ Jack O’Connell.

Read on to see all three of our great selections.

‘Godless’ (2017)

In New Mexico in 1884, an infamous outlaw named Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his band of criminals seek vengeance on a former member and Frank’s protege, Roy Goode (O’Connell), who betrayed them. On the run from those who want him dead, Roy stops down in La Belle, NM, a mining town run almost entirely by women, where he takes refuge with Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery). When word gets out that Frank and his gang have their sights set on La Belle, Alice and her fellow citizens lock arms to stand against the ruthless gang.

Godless instantly stands out by taking the male-dominated Western genre and focusing on a female-led ensemble instead. In addition to this instantly hooky twist, the series also features some stunning production design and cinematography that make it easy for viewers to become fully immersed in this world. The fast-paced narrative and complex plotlines are riveting, and standout performances from Daniels, Dockery, and Merritt Wever in particular make Godless can’t-miss TV.

‘Mindhunter’ (2017-2019)

In the late 1970s, criminal psychology and criminal profiling were just in their early stages, as the FBI tried to get inside the heads of serial killers to help solve an ongoing case. FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) and psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) operate the Behavioral Science Unit of the Training Division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Season 1 sees them interviewing notorious serial killers Edmund Kemper (Cameron Britton) and the BTK Killer (Sonny Valicenti), with season 2 focusing on Charles Manson (Damon Herriman).

Mindhunter is infamous among fans for its far-too-short run, despite rave reviews from critics and a passionate fan following. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough for Netflix, which axed the series after only two seasons. Still, the series (executive produced and partly directed by David Fincher) stands among the best of the best of crime dramas, weaving exceptional storytelling and intense character drama with a unique filmmaking style.

‘Bodyguard’ (2018)

British Army war veteran David Budd (Rocketman‘s Richard Madden) is working as a police sergeant in London when he is assigned to protect the Home Secretary and Conservative Party Member of Parliament Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes) — a deeply controversial political figure with ambitions that have her marked as “sociopathic” by those in her inner circle. While privately dealing with PTSD from his time in the war, David finds himself increasingly at odds with his new charge, torn between his duty and his personal morals.

Bodyguard is a supremely addictive psychological thriller with top-notch performances from Madden and Hawes that blends political drama with complex character relationships. The high-stakes tensions only get more and more intense as the series goes on, couched by a fast pace that makes the show the perfect binge-watch. Ultimately, Bodyguard is an exceptional and nuanced look at power and gender dynamics that is thrilling while being grounded in realism.
