The weekend is almost upon us, and with it comes the opportunity to chill out with a good old Netflix binge. As we all know, the streamer is full of shows and movies and a good number of them are just the right length to fill a weekend.
We're still in the relatively quiet months, but there's still plenty of new things to watch. Chief amongst them is the fourth season of The Lincoln Lawyer – a brilliant legal drama that has become one of Netflix's must-watch shows. If you've not seen it yet, make sure to also check out His & Hers, an essential miniseries that you can easily binge in two days. And if you're in the mood for some espionage action, there's the brilliant Unfamiliar.
New to Netflix to stream this weekend
The Lincoln Lawyer season 4
Available: US/UK
Season four of Netflix's gripping legal drama picks up from the last run's shocking cliffhanger – but even if you've never seen the show before, now is a good time to jump on board. The Lincoln Lawyer follows Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) – a brilliant criminal-defense lawyer who is also a recovering addict. Season 3 ended with one of Mickey's former clients, Sam Scales, dead and the number one suspect is: Mickey himself.
Adapted from The Law of Innocence, the sixth volume of Michael Connelly's book series, The Lincoln Lawyer is a fast-paced and pleasingly smart legal drama, with a strong cast. At 10 episodes, getting it done over a weekend is a bit of a commitment, but believe us, once you get started watching, you won't want to stop.
Watch The Lincoln Lawyer season 4.
Unfamiliar
Available: US/UK
This terrific new spy series has been an instant success on Netflix and will fill that Slow Horses-shaped hole in your heart. Unfamiliar series stars Susanne Wolff and Felix Kramer as Simon and Meret, a married couple of former German foreign intelligence agents who now run a safe house in Berlin. They're celebrating their daughter Nina's (Maja Bons) birthday when they get a strange call from a mysterious unidentified man. As the pair investigate the caller, they discover to their horror that he has links to Josef Koleev (Samuel Finzi) – a member of Russian intelligence who may be the death of them all.
Packed with twists, this six-episode thriller is perfect for whiling away a weekend. Does the biggest threat come from within Simon and Meret's own marriage? And what secrets might a pair of old spies be keeping from each other?
Watch Unfamiliar.
His & Hers
Available: US/UK
This dark miniseries is perfect weekend viewing for thriller fans. Anna (Tessa Thompson) is a former news anchor in Atlanta who has become a bit of a recluse in recent years. When she hears about a murder in the town where she grew up, however, she is pulled back into the fray. She returns home and sets out to solve the case. That brings her up against Detective Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal) – who just happens to be her estranged husband...
Based on Alice Feeney's 2020 novel of the same name, His & Hers has been heating up Netflix's charts since the show dropped in January – and no wonder with that core cast. The full six-episode season is available to stream now and is perfect if you're in the mood for a sinister self-contained story, rather than an ongoing show.
Watch His & Hers.
