Son Of A Donkey

Netflix’s new 6-episode buddy comedy, Son of a Donkey, is the perfect weekend binge. Each 21–28 minute episode is easy to watch, so you can binge the whole series in just one night.

The story follows Theo, who leaves home seeking independence but faces “adulting” challenges, such as fines, scams, and daddy issues. With his best friend Johnny by his side, mishaps turn into lessons about friendship and family.

Fans of classic goofball comedies like Superbad or modern hits like Platonic will love this laugh-out-loud series. Already trending on Netflix, Son of a Donkey delivers heartwarming humor and nonstop laughs, making it one of the most bingeable Netflix comedy releases of Fall 2025.

The Asset

The Asset has quickly become one of Netflix’s must-binge series heading into November 2025. This 6-part crime thriller skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s global streaming chart this week, outpacing new releases like The Witcher Season 4 and Nobody Wants This Season 2.

The viral Danish series follows a secret agent who infiltrates a dangerous underground gang, risking everything to rescue the girlfriend of its notorious ringleader. Highly bingeable and earning an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score, The Asset is already being hailed as one of the best Netflix original crime thrillers of the year.

For new Netflix series in October and November, The Asset should be at the top of your watchlist this weekend.

When Life Gives You Tangerines

Netflix’s 2025 K-drama series, When Life Gives You Tangerines, is a must-binge this weekend. The limited 16-episode series has earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 98% audience rating, making it one of Netflix’s most critically acclaimed originals.

Perfect for fans of slice-of-life stories and slow-burning romances, the series follows a group of young adults navigating life, love, and self-discovery. With each episode roughly an hour long, it’s ideal for a deeply immersive weekend binge.

Thoughtful storytelling, beautiful cinematography, and an emotionally rich narrative make When Life Gives You Tangerines Screen Rant’s top pick to watch from October 31–November 2, 2025. Don’t miss out on this binge-worthy K-drama.
