Many individuals have already mapped out their Memorial Day weekend plans-whether it’s hosting beachside gatherings, jetting off to visit relatives, or catching the latest blockbuster starring Tom Cruise. Meanwhile, here at Watch With Us, our only agenda involves renewing our Netflix subscription, shutting out the world, and settling in for a binge-watching marathon.
Why spend a fortune venturing outdoors when you can explore far-off destinations from the comfort of your couch through captivating streaming series, all at a fraction of the cost?
This weekend, we recommend three Netflix series set in vibrant locations-Manhattan, Copenhagen, and a Nantucket-inspired seaside town. While these settings are undeniably luxurious and costly, the true appeal of Younger, Secrets We Keep, and Sirens extends beyond their picturesque backdrops. Each series features engaging characters and addictive storylines, making them perfect choices for holiday viewing.
Rediscovering Youth and Reinventing Life: ‘Younger’ (2015-2021)
Many of us secretly wish to turn back the clock or start anew. For Liza Miller (Sutton Foster), a woman in her forties, this desire becomes reality-at least superficially. With her natural charm and youthful appearance, she convinces her colleagues at Empirical Press that she’s in her twenties. Her motivation isn’t solely vanity; she’s navigating an industry that favors young talent, like her ambitious peer Kelsey Peters (Hilary Duff). Her deception also opens doors to romantic possibilities, but how long can she sustain this facade without risking everything?
With a total of 87 episodes available on Netflix, binge-watching the entire series might be ambitious-unless you’re a dedicated fan. However, the first season stands out as the most compelling, showcasing Foster’s talent in a role that highlights her wit and charisma. Fans of fashion-forward dramas like The Devil Wears Prada or The Bold Type will find plenty to enjoy, all while experiencing the vibrancy of New York City without the exorbitant rent.
Younger is currently streaming on Netflix.
Unraveling Secrets in Copenhagen: ‘Secrets We Keep’ (2025)
It’s no surprise that this Danish limited series quickly became a hit on Netflix in mid-May. Its gripping plot and suspenseful storytelling keep viewers hooked through all six episodes. The story centers on Cecilie (Marie Bach Hansen), a wealthy executive living in an affluent suburb with her young son. When their nanny, Ruby (Donna Levkovski), mysteriously disappears one night, Cecilie embarks on an investigation that uncovers a web of lies involving her friends and neighbors. Was Ruby’s disappearance a murder? And if so, what secrets are being concealed?
While the premise of affluent individuals hiding dark secrets isn’t new, Secrets We Keep executes it with finesse, anchored by Hansen’s compelling portrayal of Cecilie’s growing anxiety and moral conflict. The series culminates in a shocking finale, leaving viewers eager to uncover the truth-perfect for a long holiday weekend binge.
Secrets We Keep is available for streaming on Netflix.
Drama, Comedy, and Intrigue in ‘Sirens’ (2025)
Imagine a weekend where estranged sisters reunite amidst a backdrop of opulence, with stunning scenery that highlights the wealth of the main characters. Add a talented cast of three leading actresses delivering nuanced performances, and you have Sirens. This series masterfully blends comedy, drama, and mystery, making it an ideal choice for viewers seeking a leisurely yet engaging binge.

The story follows Devon (Meghann Fahy), a rebellious family outsider eager to reconnect with her younger sister, Simone (Milly Alcock).
