Netflix has thousands of shows to offer, and we picked out three underrated programs below. Our choices include a sports comedy, a romantic drama, and a WWE showcase.
We also have guides to the best new shows to stream, the best movies on Netflix, and the best shows on Netflix.
Kate Hudson is a party girl turned basketball president in the charming sports comedy Running Point. Isla Gordon (Hudson) has always been overlooked in her family, which owns the Los Angeles Waves basketball team. Much to her surprise, Isla is put in charge of the team after his brother resigns.
How is Isla going to succeed in a job with no prior experience? It all starts with confidence, which Isla needs to prove her worth in a male-dominated field. Even if you don’t enjoy basketball, Running Point is a slam dunk comedy.

Virgin River is Netflix’s longest-running live-action scripted series. The author of the Virgin River series, Robyn Carr, also wrote a series of romantic novels that are the source material for the Canadian drama Sullivan’s Crossing.
Neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) lives a successful life in Boston. When a negligence lawsuit threatens to derail her career, Maggie returns to her quiet hometown community of Sullivan’s Crossing in Canada. Maggie left Sullivan’s Crossing to get away from her old life. Now, she’s forced to confront her past, including her estranged father (Scott Patterson). The humility of small-town living might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Wrestling is not fake; it’s scripted. Think of WWE like a live-action movie with drama, deceit, and stunts. For the first time, CCO Triple H is taking the audience behind the curtain in WWE Unreal. With unprecedented footage, WWE Unreal captures what goes into a wrestling storyline and how it plays out with the talent.
Cameras are present during meetings with the creative team as they build paths for wrestlers to win major events. John Cena’s unexpected heel turn is one of the leading storylines this season. Unreal is a fascinating view into sports entertainment. You will certainly have a greater appreciation for WWE after watching.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
