If you can’t remember a show that Netflix debuted earlier this year, it's likely due to the platform's constant influx of new series. The majority of Netflix’s shows meet their end after just one season, often disappearing as quickly as they appeared.
Nonetheless, Watch With Us has curated our selection of four forgotten Netflix shows that deserve a second chance in 2026.
Altered Carbon (2018 – 2020)
Will Yun Lee as Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon.
Netflix invested heavily in the sci-fi cyberpunk series Altered Carbon, and its stunning special effects reflect that. Based on Richard K. Morgan's novels, the show explores a future where humanity discovers a way to transfer memories into new bodies, offering immortality only to the privileged.
Takeshi Kovacs (Will Yun Lee), a rebel in his previous life, is awakened after hundreds of years and must navigate this new world.
Bloodline (2015 – 2017)
