6 things to watch on Netflix after you finish In the Dark
By Mads Lennon
You just raced to the ending of In the Dark and now you’ve got nothing left to watch! Don’t worry, we’ve got a couple of suggestions to keep you busy.
In the Dark premiered this past winter on The CW, but many people are just discovering the show now due to its recent Netflix debut. It’s a great series to watch over the summer. Murphy is blind and thinks she’s discovered her best friend’s body in an alleyway. Unfortunately, by the time the cops arrive, there is no body.
She spends the entire 13 episodes of season one desperately trying to solve the mystery of what happened to her pal, Tyson. You’ll get sucked in right away due to the show’s dark humor and the incredible acting on behalf of the series lead, Perry Mattfeld. The series has plenty of other lovable characters too and a surprisingly more adult theme than what The CW typically airs.

6. Secret Obsession (2019)
- Directed by: Peter Sullivan
- Starring: Brenda Song, Mike Vogel, and Dennis Haysbert
This psychological thriller starring Brenda Song is a quick and highly watchable film that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire way through! Song’s character, Jennifer, is run down in the street by an anonymous vehicle one night.
When she wakes up in the hospital, she has no memory of the event or her life before it. She meets a handsome man named Russell who introduces himself as her husband. But it doesn’t take long for Jennifer to realize something is terribly wrong.
5. Dead to Me (2019 – present)
- Starring: Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, James Marsden, Max Jenkins, Sam McCarthy, and Luke Roessler
Dead to Me is a newer Netflix release and one of the best in the past year. The series stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as two grieving widows who meet and form a deep friendship at a therapy group.
Applegate’s character, Jen, is dealing with the aftermath of her husband dying in a random hit-and-run accident. Meanwhile, Judy (Cardellini), is struggling to come to terms with her husband’s death by a heart attack.
The series is a short and hilarious black comedy about two women’s friendship despite everyone involved hiding dark secrets. If you loved the tone of In the Dark, especially the dry wit and caustic attitude of Murphy’s character, then Dead to Me should be at the top of your Netflix queue. Dead to Me has been renewed for a second season!
