Netflix’s new spy thriller is a bingeable series packed with mystery — and it’s already crashed the top 10

Susanne Wolff in "Unfamiliar" on Netflix (2026).

A new week means the top streaming services have likely seen the usual top 10 shuffle, with viewers discovering new shows and movies over the weekend. Netflix probably experiences the most changes as newer releases manage to crack the trending lists, which is no small feat on the world’s biggest streaming service. “Unfamiliar” is a recent title worth making note of this week, having shot straight to the No. 5 spot.

“Unfamiliar” is a German thriller series set in Berlin that follows a family racing to contain the fallout of their past while protecting loved ones and those trying to disappear from it. While its premise may sound like a typical spy drama you’d stumble across on TV, sometimes all you really need is a show packed with action and twists to feel rewarded. “Unfamiliar” delivers exactly that within Netflix’s signature style of tightly-packed episodes.
