If they haven’t seen it already, almost everyone will be watching Wednesday season 2, part 1 on Netflix this weekend.
As much as we love that series, it’s too big of a hit to be called “underrated.” Fortunately, Wednesday isn’t your only option as you head into the weekend.
Watch With Us has selected three underrated Netflix shows to watch this weekend, including Sullivan’s Crossing, a series that has proven to be more popular on this streamer than it is on TV.
Our other two picks include a former HBO Max original and a miniseries that flew far under the radar three years ago.
‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ (2023 – Present)
Sullivan’s Crossing season 3 wrapped up in June on The CW, and it’s coming to Netflix on Monday, August 11. That means you’ll have to wait a few more days to binge the newest episodes, but it’s also the perfect opportunity for new fans to catch the first two seasons.
There are some similarities between this show and Netflix’s other blockbuster romance series, Virgin River. But there are enough differences to enjoy both of them. Morgan Kohan takes the leading role in Sullivan’s Crossing as Maggie Sullivan, a talented neurosurgeon whose medical career is in tatters. While regrouping in her hometown, Maggie attempts to bridge the emotional gulf between herself and her estranged father, Harry ‘Sully’ Sullivan (Scott Patterson). She may even find love again with a local man, California ‘Cal’ Jones (Chad Michael Murray).

‘Love Life’ (2020 – 2021)
Love Life isn’t the first HBO-produced series to make the leap to Netflix, but it’s still a little unusual to see a former HBO Max exclusive show resurface after being scrubbed from its platform of origin. This is a romantic comedy anthology that features a different main character in each of its two seasons.
Anna Kendrick headlined season 1 as Darby Carter, a young woman with a lot of romantic entanglements and not a lot of commitment. William Jackson Harper took the spotlight in season 2 as Marcus Watkins, a man who had his own journey to make while looking for his romantic soulmate. There are some small connections between the two seasons, but each story largely stands alone. We suspect it will do very well at Netflix.

‘Titans: The Rise of Hollywood’ (2022)
The history of Hollywood goes back even further than most people realize. Titans: The Rise of Hollywood winds the clock back to the end of the 19th century and the earliest days of cinema as we know it through the eyes of Adolph Zukor (James M. Reilly), one of the cofounders of Paramount Pictures. And the narrative flows through the early 20th century up to the innovation of sound in film nearly 100 years ago.
Are you ready to watch one of the scariest movies of the year? No, we’re not talking about Freakier Friday — we’re talking about Weapons, the new horror movie starring Josh Brolin. If those two movies aren’t your thing, relax — Hulu has plenty to offer for its subscribers this weekend. Watch With Us has […]
Perhaps the real surprise for some is the way that Hollywood’s origin is also an immigrant story. Through Zukor and other historical figures, the movie industry became more than just a novelty. But even in Tinseltown’s earliest days, making movies was a cutthroat business.
