In over three years at Collider, senior author Jake has now penned over 2500 articles covering a wide range of TV and film for the resources, lists, utilities, news, and interview teams. Alongside interviewing stars such as Selin Hizli, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Harlan Coben, and Chelsea Peretti, Jake was lucky enough to visit the set of Aardman and Netflix's Wallace and Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024, getting the chance to chat with four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. Jake has also worked for other publications, including Agents of Fandom.

Bridgerton's chokehold over the U.S. Netflix charts is starting to fade. At the end of last month, the second half of Season 4 delivered a whirlwind of romance and scandal, as the will-they/won't-they drama between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek's (Yerin Ha) concluded in unmissable fashion. At the time of writing, the beloved period drama has dropped to third in the charts and has been overtaken by a pair of docuseries, with Spain's The TikTok Killer and The Dinosaurs taking the top two spots. If docuseries aren't your thing and you're finished with Bridgerton, here's a list of three other shows you should give a try on Netflix this week.

1 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' (2019–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 62% | IMDb: 8.5/10

Last weekend, the 2026 Formula 1 season began in earnest, as the Australian Grand Prix kicked off at Albert Park in Melbourne. With one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar having just premiered, now is the perfect time to watch Netflix's beloved docuseries, Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The series captures the euphoria and heartache ingrained in the FIA Formula One World Championship across multiple seasons.

Many fiction series aim to craft pulse-racing tension and unmissable drama, leaving you gripping to the edge of your armchair. However, you simply can't beat the raw tension created by high-octane sports, and they don't come much more high-octane than Formula 1. Add to that smart editing and emotional cinematography, and a recipe for binge-worthy television is born.

2 'Grey's Anatomy' (2005–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 84% | IMDb: 7.6/10

Sometimes, you can't beat the best, and Grey's Anatomy is arguably the greatest medical drama of all time. Following the revolving door of patients and professionals inside the walls of the fictional Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Grey's Anatomy centers on a new batch of interns and their supervisors, led by surgical intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo).

One of the most popular shows on television that has impressively maintained a large fanbase after more than two decades, there's never a dull moment on Grey's Anatomy. Sadly, a rewatch of the series is now made even more emotional and poignant following the death of Eric Dane following his battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

3 'The Staircase' (2022)

Rotten Tomatoes: 92% | IMDb: 7.1/10

If you love true crime but want something fictional this week, don't miss out on HBO's The Staircase. Based on the 2004 true crime docuseries of the same name, the series follows Colin Firth's convicted murderer, Michael Peterson, after he is charged following the death of his wife, Kathleen (Toni Collette), who was found dead at the bottom of their titular staircase.

Firth and Collette are two of the best actors working today, and they make for a perfect pairing in The Staircase. So great that they both earned Primetime Emmy nominations for their work, these performances alone would make The Staircase worth watching. Add to that a truly gripping tale told in eight easily binged episodes, and your week's viewing is sorted.
