From gritty true-crime to sports docu-drama, globe-trotting renovations to high-octane reality, this list is built for variety. Whether you crave tense investigations, behind-the-scenes training camp chaos, or feel-good competition, these 10 picks deliver something you can sink into right now.

‘The Yogurt Shop Murders’ (2025)

A harrowing Austin cold case becomes a riveting limited series in ‘The Yogurt Shop Murders’. The show balances sensitivity with momentum, threading survivor voices, investigators, and archival materials to unpack a tragedy that’s haunted a community for decades. It’s not lurid—it’s methodical, humane, and utterly absorbing.

If you’re into meticulous, episode-by-episode reveals, this one rewards close viewing. Expect smart structure, measured pacing, and the kind of detail that keeps you pausing to process what you’ve just learned.

‘Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills’ (2025)

‘Hard Knocks’ is back in the huddle, and the Bills make for a compelling camp: high expectations, loaded roster, and sky-high stakes. You get the big personalities, the playbook chess, and those brutal cut-day conversations that never stop stinging.

It’s the perfect background-to-binge ratio: cinematic practices and meeting-room tension intercut with off-field moments that humanize the roster. Even if you don’t know a nickel package from a nickelback, the storytelling pulls you along.

‘Extreme Detailing’ (2025)

Cars as time capsules—that’s the hook in ‘Extreme Detailing’. Watching a master restorer revive barn-find exotics and sentimental daily drivers is surprisingly emotional; these aren’t just mechanical makeovers, they’re personal histories getting a second life.

The craft segments are deeply satisfying: technique breakdowns, problem-solving under pressure, and those final reveals that make you gasp. Put it on, and suddenly you care way too much about paint correction.

‘Red Bull Soapbox Race’ (2025)

Chaos, engineering, and costumes collide in ‘Red Bull Soapbox Race’. Gravity-powered builds scream down wild courses as teams try to balance speed with spectacle, and the results are equal parts thrilling and hilarious.

It’s pure vibes—fast cuts, near-misses, and wipeouts you can’t look away from. If you want something infectious and crowd-pleasing for a group hang, this is your no-brainer pick.

‘See No Evil’ (2015– )

‘See No Evil’ returns with new cases that hinge on one relentless witness: surveillance footage. The series turns security cameras into protagonists, reconstructing investigations frame by frame until the truth clicks into place.

The format is catnip for puzzle-solvers. Each episode builds a breadcrumb trail across doorbell cams, street corners, and storefronts, turning everyday footage into a forensic treasure map.

‘Mysteries of the Abandoned: Hidden America’ (2022– )

America’s forgotten sites tell big stories in ‘Mysteries of the Abandoned: Hidden America’. From deserted industrial hubs to eerie military relics, each hour ties striking ruins to innovations, scandals, or turning points you didn’t know you wanted to Google.

It’s beautifully shot and sneakily educational—the kind of show that scratches the travel itch while feeding your inner history nerd. Come for the drone sweeps, stay for the “wait, that happened there?” reveals.

‘Deadliest Catch’ (2005– )

The Bering Sea doesn’t care about your plans, and ‘Deadliest Catch’ proves it yet again. New episodes bring white-knuckle deck work, gnarly weather turns, and the constant calculus of risk vs. reward among rival crews.

You feel every decision in your gut—where to set pots, when to ride out a storm, how to keep the boat and crew intact. It’s as tense and elemental as unscripted TV gets.

‘The Great Food Truck Race’ (2010– )

‘The Great Food Truck Race’ shifts into a fresh city sprint with teams hustling through challenges, pop-ups, and surprising sell-offs. It’s competition with a street-food heartbeat, and the menu pivots are half the fun.

Between the host’s curveballs and local flavor tests, episodes fly by. You’ll end up rooting hard for a favorite truck and craving whatever they just nailed under impossible time pressure.

‘The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper’ (2023– )

Need a smart, single-sitting doc without committing to a full series? ‘The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper’ serves topical deep dives that are timely, succinct, and built to be watched in one go.

The reporting is crisp, the access is strong, and the episodes make complex issues feel navigable. It’s a great “learn something substantial over lunch” addition to your queue.

‘House Hunters International’ (2006– )

Window-shop your way around the globe with fresh episodes of ‘House Hunters International’. Couples and families weigh budgets, commutes, and dream lists against unfamiliar markets, and the compromises are oddly addictive.

You get quick city primers, neighborhood quirks, and just enough real-estate drama to spark debates on the couch. It’s the coziest form of escapism—passport not required.
