Before I go out every weekend I like to freshen up Netflix a watchlist with limited series and miniseries that I can usually finish in a day or two. If you’re anything like me, you know how exciting these shows can be for the perfect binge-watching session.
Netflix hosts a huge catalog of such shows that you can finish when you want to stream an entire story without a cliffhanger or take months to finish watching. Here are five miniseries you can check out on Netflix US
Cassandra
AI is taking over all our jobs, even at home
for a A watch similar to the Black Mirror try this weekend, limited sci-fi thriller series Cassandra. This German horror series follows a family who moves into a seemingly perfect smart home that has been empty for 50 years. The house is run by an advanced AI called Cassandra, an electronic repository of someone’s mind from the past.
At first, Cassandra seems helpful and efficient, managing every aspect of their lives and acting like the perfect housekeeper, but gradually she becomes intrusive and unhealthy. As the family grows increasingly concerned about their AI companions, they realize that Cassandra has her own agenda, and a dark past connected to the house.
Grace’s nickname
An interesting case that blurs the line between reality and delusion
If you are a fan The Handmaid’s Tale or the works of Margaret Atwood Grace’s nickname is a must-watch thriller series that you can binge in one day. This period crime drama tells the story of Grace Marks, a young and mild-mannered Irish immigrant who is accused of a brutal double murder in 19th-century Canada.

Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer
It’s based on a gruesome killing spree that took place in real life in the 1980s
I always start my weekends with a documentary (usually true crimes), and Night Stalker it was a documentary that haunted me for days. It’s a four-part miniseries detailing the story of infamous serial killer Richard Ramirez during his 14-month reign of terror in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It tells the story from the perspective of detectives working on the case in a race against the clock as they try to uncover Ramirez’s identity.
What makes the Night Stalker (also known as the Walk-In Killer) interesting is that his series of murders are seemingly disjointed and the victims bear no resemblance. The hunt takes place amid paranoia among Los Angeles residents, while the media tries to uncover the true identity of the Night Stalker.
This documentary was a compelling watch because of the description of the killer (despite some sensationalism) and the events, as well as the panic that was spreading in LA at the time.
