Netflix has a rich lineup of new and returning shows to enjoy this month, but only a few can make it into the streamer’s top 10 chart.
That’s the problem with embracing quantity over quality. Sometimes, even the best shows will be overshadowed by the biggest hits.
That’s why Watch With Us highlights three Netflix shows you need to watch in April 2026.
Our picks include comeback comedies, remakes of classic 2000s thrillers and the already popular Netflix reality crime show.
‘Running Point’ (2025 – Present)
In the first season of the basketball comedy Running pointIsla Gordon (Kate Hudson) took control of his family’s basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, and nearly brought a championship home to the city. But “almost” is the operative word, and now Isla’s reign as president is no longer a sure thing. The club’s finances are in trouble, and the media is already painting Isla’s tenure as a failure.
Netflix doesn’t seem to have a shortage of good drama shows worth watching, even if the broadcaster has to rely on series from outside studios. This month, one of Netflix’s most notable dramas is Veronica Mars, in part because the streamer recently added a fourth and final season to what had been a Hulu exclusive. Thank you! […]
One of those misfortunes may be the work of Isla’s older brother, Cam Gordon (Justin Theroux). He’s been a radio host, and he wants that job back, even if he has to put his sister down every step of the way. If Isla can make waves as a champion, then Cam might just have the support she needs to knock Isla out of power. But he is not willing to give up that easily, and so are the players under him. However, he will have to find a new coach for the team, and that brings its own challenges.
Running point season 2 will air on Netflix on April 23.
