A new weekend in October is coming and we couldn’t miss our usual appointment with all the best TV series and films to watch on Netflix. Among the countless new proposals that Netflix gives us every day, choosing a TV series or a film and above all getting everyone to agree is not that simple. Here is some useful advice to help you choose which series or film to watch in streaming in this new autumn weekend which runs from 17 to 19 October 2025.
The best Netflix series of 2025, so far
If you like political (and relationship) series: The Diplomat
Keri Russell returned to Netflix in the role of Kate Wyler with the third season of “The Diplomat”, the political drama about women in power (but not only) which won over everyone, even obtaining several Emmy nominations.
In this new season, after a chapter that didn’t fully convince us, the series returns to confirm its initial quality by giving us a beautiful story of marriage and the beauty of its cracks as well as intriguing political dynamics and wonderful interpretations.
In these eight new episodes, in fact, Kate will have to deal with her husband’s new, very important role, a marriage that seems adrift, new interests and also difficult choices.
The best thing about the series is its extremely realistic portrayal of the imperfections of long-term relationships, and it’s worth watching for that alone.
