If you’re looking for something fresh to stream, this month offers a fascinating mix of surreal comedy, L.A. satire, high-concept sci-fi, and rugged American drama. Here are the best new shows to watch right now.
Best New Shows to Watch: The Chair Company (HBO Max)
Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company is unlike anything else on TV—bizarre, darkly funny, and strangely profound.
The series follows Ron Trosper, a mid-level mall executive whose life spirals after a humiliating workplace incident. His obsession with investigating the shady Tecca Chair Company becomes less about uncovering a conspiracy and more about understanding his own drifting, middle-aged existence.Rather than building toward a major twist, the show feels like a character study wrapped in absurd comedy—and it’s absolutely riveting. Episode 6 drops Sunday.

Best New Shows to Watch: I Love LA (HBO Max)
On the surface, Rachel Sennott’s I Love LA looks like another millennial friendship comedy. But the series quickly reveals a deeper hook: Los Angeles itself is the true main character.
Instead of focusing solely on relationship drama, the show explores how the city shapes — and sometimes consumes — its ambitious residents. Fame, failure, and the internet’s constant gaze collide in a way that sets it apart from Girls, Broad City, or Friends. It’s sharp, stylish, and painfully accurate for anyone who’s ever tried to “make it” in L.A.
Best New Shows to Watch: Pluribus (Apple TV+)
Vince Gilligan returns with Pluribus, a quirky sci-fi story set once again in New Mexico. Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol Sturka, a woman so miserable it becomes the show’s driving force—and somehow, its strangest charm. Though slower to warm up than Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, Episode 3 locks in the tone and hints at something deeply compelling ahead. New episodes land on Fridays (usually late Thursday night).
Best New Shows to Watch: Landman Season 2 (Paramount+)
Taylor Sheridan’s oil-country drama is back, bringing Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris into another season of personal and professional chaos. As Tommy navigates shifting business alliances, his ex-wife resurfaces and a newly empowered Cami Miller steps into the oil industry spotlight.
Expect sweeping landscapes, tough dialogue, and the addition of Sam Elliott to an already powerhouse cast. Sheridan fans know exactly what they’re signing up for—and Season 2 delivers.
