Netflix India's biggest recent swing away from crime dramas and thrillers, Musafir Cafe is a gentle, slow-living romance starring Vikrant Massey as a man torn between two women - his fierce first love Sudha (Vedika Pinto) and the steady, grounded Preeti (Mahima Makwana) - set against the hills of Mussoorie and the lakes of Bhopal. Based on a Hindi novel by Divya Prakash Dubey, it leans hard into mood over plot, and critics have been divided: some find the pacing sluggish and the love triangle a little familiar, while others say the chemistry between the three leads and the postcard-pretty locations make it easy, comforting viewing.
Contestants "locked up" jail-style, competing through confrontation, tasks, and drama has always leaned on controversy and shock value rather than craft. It's the kind of show people watch to argue about rather than admire, and its return to the charts says more about India's appetite for loud reality TV than about the show's quality.
Samay Raina's talent-comedy show; where contestants perform bizarre "latent" skills and are roasted by a rotating celebrity panel is back for a second season, simulcast on Netflix and YouTube. The first season became a genuine phenomenon (and also landed in real legal trouble in 2025 after remarks made on the show), and this season has already been reported as one of the most-watched Indian streaming titles of the year so far. It's chaotic, unfiltered, and very online, its a show built for clips and group chats as much as full-episode watching.
A French military thriller made with cooperation from France's real counter-terrorism unit, starring Tomer Sisley as a veteran officer whose final mission turns personal. Six tightly paced episodes deliver genuinely impressive, well-choreographed action and a strong lead performance, though the villain is thin and some side characters feel underused. It's available with a Hindi dub, which has clearly helped its popularity in India, but it carries an adult rating.
A Korean dark-fantasy limited series about a medium and a court lady unraveling supernatural secrets inside a haunted palace. It's part of a broader wave of Korean horror-tinged dramas currently dominating Netflix's non-English charts, and it's been drawing attention for its atmosphere and mythology-building as much as its central mystery.
A remake of the 2011 Korean film *Spellbound*, this horror-romcom pairs a ghost-seeing hotel heiress (Park Eun-bin) with a prosecutor terrified of ghosts (Yang Se-jong), as the two team up to solve unsolved murders while dodging - literally - an inconvenient curse that means she can't touch him without passing the ghost-sight along. Reviews call it deliberately lighter and sillier than Netflix Korea's darker current slate, leaning into rom-com tropes and a solid ensemble rather than tight plotting.
Adapted from the popular webtoon *Manager Kim*, this action-comedy follows a former North Korean spy turned ordinary single dad (So Ji-sub) who's forced back into his old skill set when his daughter goes missing. It became a genuine ratings hit in Korea and topped Netflix's global non-English chart for weeks.
Live premium wrestling event coverage. Not really a "show" to review so much as a live sports broadcast worth it only if you already follow WWE.
Same story: weekly WWE programming, here because live sports content reliably charts wherever it streams.
A hard-hitting Korean drama about a government task force empowered to physically confront school bullies, teachers, and corrupt parents when institutions fail victims. Adapted from a controversial webtoon, the show has drawn real debate, critics are split on whether its "state-sanctioned violence as catharsis" premise is a smart provocation or an uncomfortable endorsement of corporal punishment but nearly everyone agrees the performances, especially from lead Kim Moo-yul, are strong, and it's become one of the more talked-about K-dramas of the year.
