In the late-2000s and early-2010s, it was looking like miniseries were going away. Then came *American Horror Story* in 2011, which helped resurrect the genre and led to a boom of limited and anthology series that hasn't slowed down 15 years later.

Netflix has been at the forefront of this resurrection, housing numerous buzzworthy miniseries that went on to win the genre's top prize at the Emmys, such as *Adolescence*, *Baby Reindeer*, and *The Queen's Gambit*. The streamer also has riveting docuseries like *The Andy Warhol Diaries* and *Wild, Wild Country* that explore their subjects further than a traditional documentary could.

Ahead, find our recommendations for the 22 best miniseries on Netflix worth binging in their entirety over the weekend.

Based on the alternative history novel by Stephen King, this Hulu-produced miniseries is even more thoughtful and engrossing than its premise suggests. James Franco stars as Jake Epping, an English teacher who gains access to a portal that allows him to travel back in time to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But Jake's mission becomes complicated when he finds himself adjusting nicely to his new life in the '60s, while every choice he makes threatens to change the course of human history. It's a powerful character study in the body of a propulsive sci-fi thriller. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

**Cast:** James Franco, Chris Cooper, Sarah Gadon, Lucy Fry, George MacKay

Adolescence (2025)

This four-part miniseries has become a TV unicorn since its March 2025 release, becoming a massive hit with viewers, achieving universal acclaim from critics, and earning eight Emmys (including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series). *Adolescence* centers on a 13-year-old boy (Owen Cooper) accused of murdering a female classmate, deftly exploring the motive that led to the crime as well as the devastating impact it has on his family. Each episode takes place over the course of an hour and is filmed in one continuous take, from immersing us in the unnerving dread of the initial police interrogations to the sobering reality of his family left to ponder where they went wrong. It's gripping television, powered by masterful performances and urgent, economical storytelling. —*K.J.*

**Cast:** Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Christine Tremarco

Alias Grace (2017)

If you're excited that female antiheroes are having a moment, then *Alias Grace* should be next on your watchlist. Created by *Women Talking *director Sarah Polley and directed by *American Psycho* helmer Mary Harron, *Alias Grace *follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a 19th-century maid who is in jail for allegedly murdering her employers. Like fellow Margaret Atwood adaptation *The Handmaid's Tale*, *Alias Grace* is a powerful critique of the plight of women in a patriarchal society, but it's also a miniseries that will keep you constantly guessing about the protagonist’s guilt or innocence. —*Janey Tracey*

Where to watch *Alias Grace*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast:** Sarah Gadon, Edward Holcroft, Rebecca Liddiard, Anna Paquin, Zachary Levi

The Andy Warhol Diaries (2022)

Andy Warhol in 'The Andy Warhol Diaries'

Andy Warhol in 'The Andy Warhol Diaries'.

This absorbing Emmy-nominated documentary series follows the rise of the influential pop artist Andy Warhol. Utilizing innovative technology to simulate Warhol's voice, the series brings the artist's meticulously written diaries to life, guiding us through his career as a painter, the various loves of his life, and his emergence as a pop culture icon in the '60s. Aided by revealing interviews from various public figures whose lives were touched by Warhol, *The Andy Warhol Diaries* is a fittingly stylish tribute to a legend. —*K.J.*

Baby Reindeer (2024)

Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn in 'Baby Reindeer'

Richard Gadd as Donny Dunn in 'Baby Reindeer'.

Based on Richard Gadd's one-man show about his experience with stalking, *Baby Reindeer* starts with humor, then takes a sharp turn that makes you reevaluate everything that came before. The Emmy-winning miniseries has been controversial, especially after a lawsuit was filed by the woman who claims to be the inspiration for the series. But, wherever you stand on the ethics of fictionalizing real people, *Baby Reindeer* still stands on its own as intimate, gut-wrenching television that's deeply personal. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Baby Reindeer*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, Nava Mau, Tom Goodman-Hill

Bodyguard (2018)

Many shows might build to their first nail-biting sequence, but not *Bodyguard*. The first episode starts with a 20-minute scene in which David Budd (Richard Madden), a British Army war veteran suffering from PTSD, tries to talk down a suicide bomber while on a train with his two children. EW staffers praised Madden's Golden Globe-winning performance, the portrayal of women in positions of power, and the "what-the-heck-is-even-happening moments" that make the miniseries impossible not to binge. And the viewers seemed to agree: When it aired in the U.K., *Bodyguard* became the country's most successful launch of a drama series in the 2010s. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Bodyguard*: Netflix

**Cast:** Richard Madden, Keeley Hawes, Gina McKee, Sophie Rundle, Vincent Franklin

Death by Lightning (2025)

James A. Garfield may not have the name recognition of other centuries-old presidents like George Washington, John Adams, or Abraham Lincoln, but this four-part miniseries has certainly elevated his profile. Michael Shannon stars as Garfield as he becomes the 20th President of the United States and advocates for civil rights. Meanwhile, troubled devotee Charles J. Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen) turns increasingly disgruntled, leading to him shooting the president. It's a compelling two-hander that explores both the potential and dangers of humanity. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Death by Lightning*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Betty Gilpin, Bradley Whitford, Nick Offerman

Godless (2017)

*Godless* takes the Western genre and turns it on its head, focusing on a town almost entirely run by women after a mining accident kills most of the men. Jeff Daniels chews the scenery as murderous robber Frank Griffin, giving a villainous performance for the ages (even if some of his monologues run a little long). But the women are the standouts, especially *Downton Abbey*'s Michelle Dockery and Merritt Wever as the men's clothes-wearing, overtly feminist Mary Agnes. "I'm done with the notion that the bliss of me and my sisters is to be found in childbearing and caregiving," she declares. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Godless*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Michelle Dockery, Jack O'Connell, Merritt Wever, Sam Waterston, Jeff Daniels

Griselda (2024)

You've never seen Sofía Vergara quite like this. The *Modern Family* alum sheds her comedic persona — and puts on some prosthetics — to deliver a chilling, Emmy-nominated performance as Griselda Blanco, the infamous Colombian drug lord. According to director Andrés Baiz, who also worked on *Narcos*, Vergara was drawn to the role of a woman in a man's world and the opportunity to show her range. "This was a chance to reinvent herself and step out of her comfort zone," Baiz told EW. "She knew she had to dive in completely into this role and...push herself to the limit." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Griselda*: Netflix

**Cast:** Sofía Vergara, Alberto Guerra, Martin Rodriguez, Juliana Aidén Martinez, Vanessa Ferlito

Less of an adaptation than a reimagining, *The Haunting of Hill House* has almost nothing in common with the original Shirley Jackson novel except the characters' names. But director Mike Flanagan captures the spirit of the work; in true elevated horror fashion, the miniseries uses ghosts as metaphors for trauma and unresolved grief, reaching a terrible and beautiful climax with the now-classic episode "The Bent-Neck Lady."

"A ghost can be a lot of things: memories, guilt, regrets, trauma, loss," Flanagan told EW. "We all have our ghosts to contend with, and that contention is where we learn the most about ourselves, as individuals and as a society." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Haunting of Hill House*: Netflix

**Cast:** Victoria Pedretti, Carla Gugino, Michiel Huisma, Kate Siegel, Timothy Hutton

You don't need to follow basketball to appreciate *The Last Dance*. Chronicling Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls, this 10-part docuseries became a quarantine favorite at a time when no one could watch live sports, painting a compelling portrait of ambition, leadership, and the price of success. "Sports fans or non-sports fans, the Chicago Bulls were a global phenomenon," director Jason Hehir told EW. "This was a cast of characters that Hollywood couldn't come up with, and Michael Jordan was the star of all stars." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *The Last Dance*: Netflix

**Cast:** Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman

Maid (2021)

Based on Stephanie Land's memoir, *Maid* follows Alex (Margaret Qualley), a young mother who escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to support herself and her daughter. The miniseries is a raw and empathetic portrayal of the challenges faced by those living on the margins of society and a scathing indictment of the institutions that make it nearly impossible to escape abuse and poverty. Qualley's real-life mother Andie MacDowell has an unsettling supporting role as Alex's mentally ill mother, but Qualley is the star, and her nuanced, Emmy-nominated performance makes *Maid *both heartbreaking and inspiring. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Maid*: Netflix

**Cast:** Margaret Qualley, Nick Robinson, Anika Noni Rose, Andie MacDowell

Midnight Mass (2021)

*The Haunting of Hill House* is Mike Flanagan's claim to fame, but some might call *Midnight Mass* his magnum opus. The miniseries follows Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford), a man who returns to his religious hometown after serving prison time for manslaughter. When a mysterious priest (Hamish Linklater) arrives, strange and unexplainable events begin to occur. Full of slow-burn horror, it's Flanagan's most personal work, based on his experiences with recovery and his upbringing in a Catholic community. "I don't know how long I could have gone without writing it," he wrote in a letter to critics. “This...was the story I always wanted to tell." —*J.T.*

Where to watch *Midnight Mass*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast**: Zach Gilford, Kate Siegel, Hamish Linklater, Kristin Lehman, Samantha Sloyan

One Day (2024)

Ambika Mod as Emma Morley and Leo Woodall as Dexter Mayhew in 'One Day'.

Forget the 2011 film version starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway — *One Day* on Netflix is now the definitive adaptation of the beloved novel by David Nicholls. The series follows college classmates Emma (Ambika Mod) and Dexter (Leo Woodall), whose relationship unfolds on the same day over the course of 20 years. A lovely rom-com elevated by Mod and Woodall's chemistry and nuanced, charming performances, *One Day* will have you in tears by the end of your binge. —*J.T.*

A prequel series to ratings juggernaut *Bridgerton*, *Queen Charlotte* offers a lush, romantic look at the origins of one of the most beloved characters. The miniseries, by super creator Shonda Rhimes, delves into the young Queen Charlotte's (India Amarteifio) rise to power and her relationship with King George III (Corey Mylchreest). The story has a modern resonance as Queen Charlotte is written as a woman of color, which is the belief of many historians. "I wanted to tell the story of this young woman of color arriving in this world where she never imagined she'd be," Rhimes told EW. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast:** India Amarteifio, Adjoa Andoh, Michelle Fairley, Corey Mylchreest, Golda Rosheuvel

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon in 'The Queen's Gambit'

The miniseries that made everyone learn chess during quarantine, *The Queen's Gambit* was the surprise hit of 2020, captivating audiences with its riveting tale of chess prodigy Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy). Set during the Cold War, the Emmy-winning series traces Beth's journey from a Kentucky orphanage to the international chess scene, all while dealing with addiction and inner demons. The quick pacing and inventive visuals make chess matches as thrilling as a sports movie climax, but Taylor-Joy's mesmerizing performance is the real draw. As EW's critic writes, "*Queen's Gambit* will be remembered as the final star-making moment for Taylor-Joy, before her movie career rockets fast and Furiosa-ly." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* The Queen's Gambit*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast: **Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Camp, Moses Ingram, Marielle Heller, Thomas Brodie-Sangster

Ripley (2024)

Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in 'Ripley'

Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley in 'Ripley'.

*Ripley* brings Patricia Highsmith's infamous con artist to the small screen in a stylish retelling that goes full noir, filmed entirely in black and white. These changes allow for a darker, lonelier version of Tom Ripley (played by a career-best Andrew Scott), whose complex psychology and lack of glamour is for a modern audience. "I didn't purposely try to get sympathy or empathy for him," creator Steven Zaillian told EW. "I trusted that, just by telling the story, that same thing would happen as it did in the book." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Ripley*: Netflix

**Cast: **Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, Johnny Flynn, Eliot Sumner, Margherita Buy

Toxic Town (2025)

Aimee Lou Wood as Tracy, Jodie Whittaker as Susan, and Karla Crome as Pattie in 'Toxic Town'

This four-part British series is based on the real-life story of mothers who fought their town's council on behalf of their children. At the center is the toxic waste scandal in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, where the mishandling of industrial waste led to birth defects for several of the town's newborns. Jodie Whittaker and *White Lotus* alum Aimee Lou Wood are superb as two of the mothers whose babies were affected, and the series is at once infuriating and inspiring as it portrays the long and winding road of seeking justice. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Toxic Town*: Netflix

**Cast:** Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood, Rory Kinnear, Brendan Coyle, Robert Carlyle

Unbelievable (2019)

Kaitlyn Dever as Marie Adler in 'Unbelievable'

Based on the devastating, Pulitzer Prize-winning article "An Unbelievable Story of Rape" from ProPublica and the Marshall Project, *Unbelievable* is a hard-hitting, unusually compassionate police procedural about two detectives (Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) as they investigate a series of sexual assaults. Kaitlyn Dever gives a heartbreaking performance as Marie, a rape survivor dismissed by authorities, which the actress called "the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my career." But instead of dwelling on the gendered injustices, the miniseries highlights the importance of having women in positions of power, as the empathetic approach taken by the female investigators is key to righting the wrongs of the case. —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unbelievable*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast: **Toni Collette, Merritt Wever, Kaitlyn Dever

Unorthodox (2020)

Based on Deborah Feldman's memoir, *Unorthodox* tells the story of Esther "Esty" Shapiro, a young woman who flees her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn for a new life in Berlin. The miniseries is a gripping tale of self-discovery and rebellion, with Shira Haas delivering an extraordinary turn as Esty. She earned an Emmy nomination for her performance, not least because of that powerful singing scene. "The show is about a woman finding her voice, and in that scene, she's literally finding it," Haas told EW. "She's even surprising herself of what's coming out of her." —*J.T.*

Where to watch* Unorthodox*: Netflix

**Cast:** Shira Haas, Amit Rahav, Jeff Wilbusch

When They See Us (2019)

Niecy Nash-Betts as Delores Wise in 'When They See Us'

Ava DuVernay's *When They See Us* is a searing, unflinching account of the wrongful convictions of the Central Park Five, five Black and Latino teenagers who were falsely accused of a brutal assault in 1989. The miniseries powerfully depicts the systemic racism and injustice faced by these young men, following their harrowing journey from arrest to exoneration. With DuVernay's auteur touch and stellar performances from an ensemble cast, especially Jharrel Jerome, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Korey Wise, *When They See Us* is as emotionally devastating as it is necessary viewing. —*J.T.*

Where to watch *When They See Us*: Netflix

**Cast:** Asante Blackk, Jharrel Jerome, Niecy Nash-Betts, Felicity Huffman

Wild Wild Country (2018)

Cult documentaries have been a part of our media diet, but *Wild Wild Country* is one you have to see to believe. Chronicling the rise and fall of the Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon during the 1980s, the docuseries delves into the controversial practices of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers, leading to one of the most bizarre, shocking, and underreported events in American history. It's a wild ride filled with twists, legal battles, and a fascinating cast of real-life characters. —*J.T.*

Why 100,000 Miles Remains a Deal-Breaker for Used Cars

Today's most reliable vehicles can rack up sky-high mileage that would have been unheard of a few generations ago and still keep going. However, an old benchmark still stands as the most practical answer for how many miles are too many when buying used.

High-mileage vehicles -- especially famously durable models from reputable brands -- can be hard to resist when paired with temptingly low asking prices. Yet, in nearly all cases, it's best to walk away when you see 100,000 miles or more on the odometer. Here's why:

Consider This: 10 Most Reliable Used Cars Under $20K

Read Next: 5 Signs You’re Losing Money Every Month — and How To Find the Leaks

What Makes Six-Figures Too Much?

Auto industry expert Rob Dillan laid out the primary reasons 100,000 miles is still generally the most a used vehicle should have.

"Many auto experts agree that 100,000 miles is the upper limit for considering the purchase of a used car," he said. "Beyond this point, the likelihood of significant maintenance and repairs increases substantially.

Past 100,000 miles, the risk of expensive engine, transmission and suspension repairs rises sharply, often outweighing any upfront savings. Even without major repairs or catastrophic system failures, cars with six-figure mileage tend to cost more to maintain with basic upkeep.

"Frequent checkups and replacement of parts become necessary, increasing the overall cost of ownership," said Dillan, who added that six-figure mileage can conceal issues from miles past.

"Even with reliable models, high-mileage cars may have histories of wear and tear that aren't immediately apparent," he continued. "A vehicle with a high mileage might also have a less comprehensive service history, which can obscure potential issues."

Mileage Tells Only Part of the Story

In most cases, 100,000 miles should be enough to walk away -- but mileage is just one variable to consider.

"While the odometer gives context, so many other factors impact reliability and how long a vehicle will last," said Todd Bialaszewski, a certified master mechanic with over 15 years of experience and the founder of Junk Car Medics.

Melanie Musson, another auto industry expert, agreed. "The maximum number of miles depends on the type of vehicle," she said. "A diesel truck, for example, is expected to last at least 100,000 miles longer than a similar gas-engine truck."

Also, some models are legendary for long-term reliability and others are not.

"You can count on a Honda or Toyota to be reliable for at least 50,000 miles longer than you'd trust a similar Dodge vehicle," said Musson. Meanwhile, Bialaszewski mentioned the same two famously reliable brands, but added that even the most durable models require timely service. "Miss one oil change and costly problems could arise," he said.

It also matters how and where the car was cared for.

"If you live in a rural area, cars aren't usually driven as hard as if you live in a city," said Musson. "If you're on the East Coast, where traffic density is high and roads are heavily salted all winter nearly everywhere you go, you should be leery of any vehicle with more than 100,000 miles."

Urban driving, heavy traffic and corrosive road conditions tend to accelerate wear compared to highway miles.

Diligence Is Essential for Avoiding a Lemon

Conducting deep automotive research is more important than ever when shopping for a deal on a used car with a long mileage history.

"Service records are key to assessing a car's history carefully," said Bialaszewski. "Seeing consistent fluid and belt changes, brake work and so on builds confidence that smaller issues didn't escalate. Even low-mileage rides aren't risk-free without paperwork proving care."

In the end, higher-mileage cars can work for buyers on a budget -- but only when diligently vetted.

"Reputable brands, comprehensive paperwork spanning years and a trusted mechanic's approval are baseline prerequisites," said Bialaszewski. "Considering records and conditions over just numbers helps buyers find a solid long-haul option."

Teyana Taylor drew major attention online after stepping out at Coachella in a bold yellow outfit that quickly sparked conversation.

The actress was spotted at the festival in Indio wearing a cropped graphic tee and low-rise pants that put her toned abs on full display.

As clips and photos spread across social media, viewers couldn’t stop reacting to her physique, a recurring topic in discussions of her appearances.

“I’m scared to find out her abs routine,” one user wrote.

Taylor attended the Guess Jeans party during Coachella 2024 in a cropped vintage-style yellow graphic T-shirt paired with low-rise leather racing pants featuring bold “GUESS USA” branding.

She styled the look with a patterned headscarf layered over a bandana, oversized aviator sunglasses, a gold body chain across her waist, and black platform boots, giving it an early 2000s streetwear feel.

While the outfit itself drew mixed opinions, most of the attention stayed on her sharply defined abs, which became the focal point of viral posts.

“She looks good, forget what people are talking about,” one user wrote. Another added, “I need to cut out alcohol so I can have abs like this.”

Others were more critical. “The cuts are crazy, but the outfit is terrible,” one comment read, while another said, “When your personality is abs.”

A second Coachella appearance shifted focus to her experimental style

“She always looks a bit like The Terminator, and I don’t hate it,” one user wrote.

Another added, “Naah, who in Schwarzenegger’s name is she?”

On April 11, Taylor appeared at Revolve Fest with a completely different look that leaned into a more futuristic aesthetic.

She wore a chrome face piece featuring bug-eye sunglasses and silver lip hooks attached under her chin, paired with an optical illusion net dress designed to resemble dripping water. The asymmetrical outfit included side cutouts and revealed a high-cut thong bodysuit underneath.

She completed the look with silver heels, chunky bangles, and a noticeable hair transformation, swapping her signature pixie cut for a fiery red style.

Taylor has consistently explained how she maintains her abs

Despite ongoing speculation, Taylor has repeatedly shared that her physique is not the result of strict dieting or traditional gym routines.

In a 2018 interview with US Weekly, she said genetics play a role, explaining that she had visible abs even as a child.

“People used to call me a ninja turtle because even when I was six years old, I had a little Buddha belly, but there was still a six-pack on top of it.”

She has also credited her daughter as a key part of her active lifestyle, saying that constantly running around with her helps keep her in shape.

“My daughter really is my trainer, and she does not play around. She’s a really active little girl, so running all around, I swear, keeps me in shape.”

More notably, Taylor has emphasized that dance is her primary form of exercise.

“I keep it really real, I don’t like to lie and say I work out three or four times a week. All I do is dance. All I do is dance,” she told Vogue, adding that dance-based workouts have been central to her fitness.

She later launched her platform Fade 2 Fitness, where she shared dance routines and workout choreography, particularly focused on getting back in shape after pregnancy.

Taylor’s Coachella appearance follows a string of high-profile outings in early 2026 where her styling similarly put focus on her midsection.

At the 2026 Grammy Awards on February 1, she wore a custom Tom Ford gown that featured a daring, ab-baring cut. The look was widely covered, with outlets noting how the design combined a “naked dress” silhouette with sharp tailoring, placing her physique at the center of attention.

Just weeks later, she continued that approach at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she appeared in a slinky white Chanel gown.

The outfit featured a sculpted fit and subtle cutouts, again drawing attention to her toned frame.

On the Oscars red carpet itself, she also wore a black-and-white feathered Chanel look with sheer paneling that gave a peek at her abs.

“She knows her body is impeccable,” wrote one user
