10 Best New Shows on Netflix (July 2020)
1. Sherlock
The show casts Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, a sociopathic but a clever detective. Martin Freeman elevates the usually dull role of Watson to make him interesting in his own right. They portray palpable chemistry together and are a perfect example of TV bromance.
A special mention goes to Andrew Scott, who gave an engaging performance as arch-villain Moriarty long before he became Fleabag’s sexy priest.

2. Unsolved mysteries
This series aired on NBC, CBS, Lifetime, and SpikeTV from 1987-2010. It has now got a fresh feel with the updated haunting theme song, and a ghostly image of Stack. The series is back on Netflix by creators John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer and feels more like the slickly produced true-crime format that Netflix has aced over the past half-decade.
3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
It’s nice for a show to reveal the funny side of a police station for once. And the producers have done it with their heart to show the silly yet surprisingly sharp workplace sitcom set in a New York City police precinct.
Lead cast, Jake Peralta is a cop, portraying a star detective on his team despite his childish approach to life. There are exquisitely drawn characters, including the show’s secret weapon, Andre Braugher. We know him best for his dramatic performances, but he plays a blinder as the overly serious Captain Raymond Holt, delivering his lines with unrivaled deadpan.
