You know those shows you randomly click on and then can’t stop watching? This list is all about those. Not the overhyped ones — these are the lowkey gems that hit every time. Drama, mystery, teen shows, and plot twists for days.
Â
A whole high school gets trapped in a town with no adults. It’s giving Lord of the Flies but with drama, romance, secrets, and chaos. Canceled too soon = cliffhanger, but still SO worth it.
The Society (TV Series 2019)
Â
A friend group growing up in a tough neighborhood, navigating love, gangs, and coming-of-age stuff. Funny, emotional, real. The first few seasons hit hard.
Watch On My Block | Netflix Official Site
Â
Private school, dead sibling mystery, secret societies... yeah. It starts off kinda cheesy but gets addicting. You’ll be clicking “next episode” without realizing.
Watch Greenhouse Academy | Netflix Official Site
Â
Swedish teen royalty falls for a boy at boarding school. It’s quiet, intense, and has hella emotional depth. Plus, the soundtrack is perfect.
Watch Young Royals | Netflix Official Site
Â
Treasure hunts, drama, rich vs. poor, hot people running from danger. Even if you’ve seen it mentioned, it’s better than you think.
Watch Outer Banks | Netflix Official Site
Â
Fantasy but make it modern. A family moves into a weird house with magical keys that unlock powers. Dark but not scary-scary. If you liked Stranger Things, you’ll probably love this.
Locke & Key (TV Series 2020–2022)
Â
Creepy island + memory loss + teen secrets = binge material. Feels like a British mix of Pretty Little Liars and The Wilds.
Watch The A List | Netflix Official Site
Â
British teen dealing with eating disorder recovery while trying to catch up on life. Emotional, real, and has that Skins vibe but more current.
Watch Everything Now | Netflix Official Site
Â
Spinoff of On My Block that’s more chaotic and cursed in the best way. Quirky cast, fast-paced, and a good laugh with a little mystery too.
Watch Freeridge | Netflix Official Site
Â
A dark twist on the Sherlock Holmes universe. Teen detectives, supernatural drama, and grimy London aesthetics. Slept on and stylish.
