5 latest Netflix shows with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score
Link is copied Comments No plans this weekend? Netflix has got your back. If your idea of a perfect Friday, Saturday and Sunday is catching up with some of the best TV on offer, you've come to the right place. Because we've scoured the internet for the finest releases of 2025, according to Rotten Tomatoes. Ready to cosy up with the best entertainment on the market? Check out the titles below, all of which have a coveted 100% Tomatometer score (plus a couple of bonus additions)... (Picture: Netflix) In a sleepy Tasmanian seaside town, Kieran Elliott's life is changed forever after a huge storm kills three of his closest friends. 15 years later, Kieran returns to Evelyn Bay with a family of his own, hoping to make new, positive memories in a town that holds so many sad ones. However, it's not long until his past comes back to haunt him when a young woman, and a close member of the community, is murdered. Desperate for answers, Kieran's tragedy rears its head once again (Picture: Netflix) No one does true crime better than Netflix. Period. This new documentary features rare footage and interviews with CIA insiders on how they - and the world - came together to hunt down Osama bin Laden. Following the devastating events of September 11, 2001, in New York City, the al-Qaeda leader went into hiding to avoid capture by the United States. The militant leader was eventually killed on May 2, 2011, just under 10 years after the attacks, when a team of Navy SEALs raided his Abbottabad compound (Picture: Netflix) This German thriller captured the world when it was released back in February. It centres around a family who move into the oldest smart home in Germany, which has been vacant since the original owner died decades before. Unbeknownst to the family, the home is under the control of a virtual assistant named Cassandra, who vows never to be left alone again. Which means whether they like it or not, the family have no choice but to live under the watchful eye of Cassandra, who will stop at nothing to keep them there. But who actually is Cassandra? And what is her story? (Picture: Sasha Ostrov/Netflix) Pantheon is an adult animated sci-fi drama series created by Craig Silverstein and based on a series of short stories by Ken Liu. While the show has been running since 2022, and the latest season was released in 2023, it has recently been added to Netflix for the first time. Since the addition of the anime show, series two has received full marks from Rotten Tomatoes, and follows bullied teen Maddie, who starts to receive messages from a mysterious stranger claiming to be her father. The only problem? Her dad, David, just died… Turns out, David's consciousness has been uploaded to the cloud after an experimental brain scan, meaning he can still connect with the living. And the next twist? He's not the only one (Picture: Netflix) OK, so this one technically isn't on Netflix in the UK (it's available in the US), but you can catch it on BBC iPlayer, so who are the real winners? The Danish drama follows high school student Laura, who must choose between her divorced parents and the boy she is in love with. This might sound pretty dull at first, but there's a reason: the whole of Denmark is facing total evacuation due to rising water levels. The choice she makes sees her running the risk of never seeing some of her loved ones again (Picture: BBC) OK, not all shows are going to be perfect, but they can be nearly perfect so we've thrown in a couple bonus entries deserving of an honourable mention. In Forever's case, 97% on the critics' Tomatometer still warrants a watch. Plus, 88% of viewers (aka the Popcornmeter) recommend the show, too. The rom-com drama is set in Los Angeles in 2018, when two childhood friends reunite. Both are budding athletes who are experiencing pressure from their parents to solely focus on their college athletic scholarships, with their social lives coming second. But when they unexpectedly fall in love, the pair must navigate the joy and heartache of a first romance, along with the other pressures of life (Picture: Elizabeth Morris/Netflix) The world stopped to binge Adolescence when it landed on the platform in March as the four-part series - with each episode filmed in one gripping take - hit a jaw-dropping 66,000,000 views in just two weeks. It stars Stephen Graham as Eddie Miller, a father whose family is shattered after his 13-year-old son Jamie (Owen Cooper) is accused of the murder of his classmate Katie through stabbing (Picture: Netflix)

Jurgen Klopp hints he may NEVER return to management as former Liverpool boss admits ‘I no longer had a normal life'
Klopp spoke to two Premier League bosses about his time away from the dugout Stop the Klopp Jurgen Klopp hints he may NEVER return to management as former Liverpool boss admits 'I no longer had a normal life' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JURGEN KLOPP has suggested his managerial career might be over after admitting he doesn't want that life "anymore". The German coach quit Liverpool at the end of last season after nine years in charge of the Anfield outfit. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Jurgen Klopp has hinted he may never manage another football team Credit: Splash 2 Klopp admits he does not miss his old role Credit: Getty Having now had more than a year to reflect on his career options, Klopp, 58, candidly revealed he believes his time in the dugout could be over. Speaking to German outlet, Welt, the former Borussia Dortmund boss admitted life as a football coach took him "too far away from a normal life". He recalled how he lost 16 kilos between his time leaving Borussia Dortmund and joining Liverpool, thanks to being on top of his diet and exercising - something he couldn't do when mulling over tactics. Klopp said: "I was in a tunnel, but never with myself. Now I pay more attention to myself. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL WISH ROO WERE HERE? Wayne Rooney pictured looking glum on holiday with Coleen & Utd legends "As silly as it sounds, I stopped doing what I always wanted to do. "But it took me too far away from normal life – and ultimately, I no longer had a normal life. "Whatever normal life is: my car knew three ways: to the stadium, to the training ground, and home." Klopp explained how while he had plenty of visitors in Liverpool, he barely had any time for them - referencing how he had been to two weddings in the last four months as opposed to none in 23 years before that.

But the Premier League and Champions League winner hasn't been short of top clubs wanting to add him to their ranks, with Bayern Munich inquiring over his availability. Arne Slot shows his class as he leads Anfield in chant about Jurgen Klopp after sealing 20th title for Liverpool However, despite chats with Jose Mourinho and Roy Hodgson about coaching, his gut feeling is that while he loved his job, he doesn't miss it. Asked about his links to Bayern, Klopp said: "But I don't want that anymore. I have a job now that fulfills me and is also intense. "I don't sleep in the morning and I don't go to bed later at night, but I can organise my work much better. "My wife, for example, is really happy with it because we can plan things much better that we couldn't before... "Of course I enjoyed it too. Some days I couldn't believe my luck. Just look where I came from - and then I made it to Liverpool FC, and it worked out pretty well there. "If I were to go back to coaching somewhere, it would all start again. I'm me! I can't just take over and coach. "Then I'd be completely involved everywhere again. And I just don't see that happening anymore." On his chats with Hodgson and Mourinho, he continued: "He (Hodgson) came up to me and asked how I was. In the same breath he said to me: 'I miss it.' "And I was like: 'What?' Roy is 77 years old - and he wants to be a coach again. Unbelievable! "When we played against Crystal Palace with Liverpool, I always asked him whether his apartment was damp or why he was standing on the pitch now. "But Jose Mourinho also said to me: 'This is not the end.' There are those coaches who always want to do that. I loved being a coach, but I was never addicted." Klopp also ruled himself out of taking a job at one of the Red Bull teams.

The Pitt: show with 95% rating still not available in the UK
The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025 - but you can't legally watch it in the UK 😫 Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Pitt is one of the most acclaimed shows of 2025. Noah Wyles returns to the world of medical TV for the show. It has a 95 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans of medical dramas continue to miss out on one of the most acclaimed shows of the year - at least in the UK. The Pitt debuted in America back in January 2025 but it still doesn't have a release date on this side of the pond. Noah Wyles, who was one of the stars of ER back in the 1990s and 2000s, has returned to familiar ground for this acclaimed Max show. Unlike other HBO shows it didn't immediately come to Sky Atlantic and Now TV. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But why can't you watch it yet in the UK? Here's all you need to know: What is The Pitt about? Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor in The Pitt | John Johnson/HBO The show, which brings together former ER collaborators Noah Wyles and R. Scott Gemmill, is a fresh twist on the medical drama. The synopsis for the first season on Rotten Tomatoes reads: 'A realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.' Across its 15 episodes, the show charts one single 15 hour shift in the titular hospital. Each episode covers roughly one hour of said shift - similar to how 24 worked back in the day. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It has a 95 per cent certified fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes - and an equally high 85 per cent audience score on the popcornmeter. So it seems like a real must watch. Why can't you watch The Pitt in the UK? Despite its critical acclaim and popularity with viewers in the US - it has already been renewed for a second series - it can't currently be watched legally in the UK. The show premiered on the streaming service Max (set to revert back to the name HBO Max soon) in January and it is not one that we have on this side of the pond yet. Unlike other HBO and Max shows, The Pitt has not been picked up for coverage by Sky Atlantic/ Now TV - which is a tad unusual. We reached out to Sky to see if they would be broadcasting it, but they did not respond. One wrinkle is that HBO Max is finally set to launch in the UK in 2026. It is set to bring together Max's streaming library with Discovery+ and TNT Sports - with further details in due course. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Unlike other European countries, HBO Max had not previously launched on our side of the pond due to Warner Brothers Discovery's deal with Sky - which is why shows like Game of Thrones and The White Lotus are broadcast on Sky Atlantic. However a deal has been struck and will see the ad-supported version of Max bundled in for Sky customers at no extra cost at launch, paving the way for its release in early 2026. The Pitt could be being saved as a potential draw to get people to subscribe to HBO Max upon its launch in the UK - but that is speculation on my part.

'It's a hell of a ride!' Your favourite shows like Squid Game
Squid Game is back for a third season, and fans are no doubt binge-watching the hit Korean drama at breakneck speed. Which means many will already be looking for a similarly high-stakes, morally complex series to watch next. And while reality shows like Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge and MrBeast's Beast Games have tried to capture the essence, the Squid Game creator has admitted they leave a 'bitter taste'. Fortunately, the world of streaming is rich with gripping K-dramas and survival thrillers that scratch the same itch — and several viewers have taken to Reddit to share their favourite Squid Game alternatives. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. A user calling themselves ed_five suggested Netflix drama The 8 Show. Explaining the premise, they wrote: 'Eight people agree to a game show where they don't know the rules. I have to warn you, it gets very dark.' And TommyRobotX added of the Korean series: 'Despite the lower stakes, they somehow made it harder to watch (anxiety) than Squid Game.' Meanwhile, Dazzling_Pipe_9910 also mentioned The 8 Show, but preferred revenge thriller The Glory. They said: 'I watched The 8 Show and The Glory after Season 2 of Squid Game…The Glory is definitely worth watching and has left a lasting impression. I'd recommend.' Another user, Pettyyoungthing, suggested Alice in Borderland, which proved to be a huge hit on Netflix when it was first released in 2020. They explained: '[It's a] Japanese show where [people] get stuck in a mix of Hunger Games and Squid Game type scenario. Hijinx ensue'. And ChattyWalker suggested dark thriller Bargain, on Paramount Plus, writing: 'It's a hell of a ride! Only 6 episodes, unfortunately, but a nice binge.' One user suggested 3%, a Brazilian series available on Netflix. Explaining the plot, they wrote: 'The majority of the population live on the improvised 'inland' and, at the age of 20, people compete to become the 3% of humanity that gets to live in the affluent 'offshore' community.' A K-drama that's received lots of comparisons to Squid Game, The 8 Show focuses on eight strangers, each facing serious financial trouble, who agree to join a dangerous reality TV show as a way of earning money. Reviews are mixed, with the show earning a respectable 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics, compared to a 66% Audience Score. One impressed audience member wrote: 'I watched the entire series in 24 hours, a first for me. I found it impossible to stop watching. The cliffhangers were great, the suspense was at a fever pitch, and the social commentary was spot on. Good comic relief as well. Highly recommend.' Another said: 'Excellent show! Every episode is unexpected and surprising. A more deep and shocking Squid Game. This show will make you reflect on the society and on human nature.' Where to watch: Stream all eight episodes on Netflix. Years after surviving being brutally bullied in high school, teacher Moon Dong-eun devises a calculated plan to make her abusers pay for what they did, unravelling their now successful lives from within. The Glory received praise from critics, with the San Francisco Chronicle writing in their review: 'Visually arresting and carefully constructed, The Glory sharpens its central theme to a fine point.' Audiences were also impressed, with viewers taking to Rotten Tomatoes to hail The Glory as 'captivating', 'beautiful' and 'a slow-burn masterpiece'. Where to watch: Stream all 16 episodes on Netflix. This Japanese sci-fi series follows 'an aimless gamer and his two friends [who] find themselves in a parallel Tokyo, where they're forced to compete in a series of sadistic games to survive'. The show, which has been compared to Squid Game in the past and even achieved a higher Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, has proved itself a hit with both fans and critics. 'This sprawling Japanese manga adaptation is rarely subtle, but its ability to deliver on wide-scale expectations make it a true TV standout,' IndieWire wrote in a season two review. Meanwhile, Google reviewer Sarah wrote: 'This is one of the best TV series I have ever watched! Season one reminded me a lot of Squid Game mixed with a little bit of Hunger Games but leaves off with a better cliffhanger.' A highly anticipated third season of Alice in Borderland is coming to Netflix in September 2025. Where to watch: Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Netflix. Described as 'addictive' in The Guardian's four-star review, Bargain is set in a remote hotel in Korea where human organs are auctioned off to the highest bidder. A synopsis adds: 'After a catastrophic earthquake, the victims, traffickers and buyers are all trapped inside the crumbling building. Cut off from the outside world, they must fight to survive the aftermath at any cost. With a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, the show has impressed critics, who have described it as 'engrossing', 'wildly unpredictable' and 'gloriously vicious'. Where to watch: All six episodes are available to stream on Paramount Plus. There are four seasons to binge of this Brazilian show, which is set in a future society where most of the population lives in poverty. But, every year, each 20-year-old gets one chance to join the privileged 3%, who have been saved from squalor and now live in a utopian paradise. More Trending The show has a very respectable 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its twists and strong characters. Screen Rant wrote in their review: 'When 3% isn't making thoughtful observations about the human race and how we wall ourselves off from one another, it's dazzling you with clever moments and genuinely shocking twists all designed to keep you hopelessly hooked.' And Refinery29 said: 'The Brazilian show will itch the Hunger Games scratch, but still add an entirely new element of excitement.'
