After the first season became available to stream on Netflix this past Sunday, NBC’s underrated crime procedural, The Hunting Party, is already the third-most-watched show on the platform in the U.S. The series follows the assembling of a team of elite special agents, tasked with finding and capturing the nation’s worst serial killers following their escape from a secret prison hidden underneath the Wyoming countryside.

Proving popular enough to earn a second-season renewal whilst many other NBC shows faced cancellation, The Hunting Party might not be flawless, but it is thoroughly entertaining. At its heart is a team of investigators you’ll immediately fall in love with, led by former FBI profiler Rebecca ‘Bex’ Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh). Join the rest of the country in watching The Hunting Party this week.

For some sci-fi magic sprinkled on your week, look no further than the beloved Stargate SG-1. Starring Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel Jack O’Neil, the series follows his band of soldiers and scientists as they travel via portals to a vast array of planets, looking to solve conflicts and forge unlikely relationships.

A direct continuation of Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin’s 1994 film, Stargate, few sci-fi shows can come close to Stargate SG-1. Detailed in its lore but never alienating for new audiences, the show earned nine Primetime Emmy nominations during its decade-long run, thanks in no small part to a perfectly cast ensemble that includes Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Don S. Davis.

Rotten Tomatoes: 99% | IMDb: 8.5/10

A distinct, laugh-out-loud comedy that feels both universally relatable and deeply personal to creator Lisa McGee, who based the show on her own upbringing in Derry, there might be nothing funnier on Netflix than Derry Girls. Boasting a near-perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the show kick-started the careers of its hugely talented young cast, none more so than Coughlan, who has since gone on to star in Netflix’s Bridgerton.
