In case you're looking for something substantial but lesser-known to watch, like Suits, here are seven series available on Netflix.
7. Billions (2016, 7 seasons, 60%)
This Showtime series follows Chuck Roades, a South New York District Attorney, and Bobby Axelrod, a hedge fund manager, in their standoff that drags them deeper and deeper each day. The star-studded cast of this white-collar procedural drama includes Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti and the legendary Clancy Brown. But there's a catch: Billions is only available on Netflix outside the US and UK.
6. Ozark (2017, 4 seasons, 82%)

3. The Queen's Gambit (2020, 1 season, 96%)
