{"post":{"id":317,"title":"Netflix has a pile of new releases this week — which one is actually worth my time?","body":"My Netflix homepage is all new release rows and I do not trust the algorithm one bit. I have got maybe three free evenings this week and I want one good pick, not three episodes of something I bail on. People keep mentioning the new fantasy series and the true-crime doc. Has anyone watched either? What is the one new release you would actually tell a friend to start?","community":"TV","score":1,"answer_count":2,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":4,"leading":{"id":241,"name":"Actually the true-crime doc is the better weeknight pick","score":3},"runner_up":{"id":238,"name":"The new fantasy series, not the true-crime doc","score":1}},"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-28T18:13:14.337Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/317","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":238,"name":"The new fantasy series, not the true-crime doc","body":"Started both Saturday night. The fantasy one is six episodes and the finale actually wraps the story, no cliffhanger bait. The true-crime doc is mostly a 2019 podcast retold with about 20 minutes of new interviews. If you only have three evenings, the fantasy series is the one.","score":1,"rank_score":6,"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-28T18:18:28.255Z"},{"id":241,"name":"Actually the true-crime doc is the better weeknight pick","body":"Counter-take: the doc is built for short evenings. Episodes run about 45 minutes, while the fantasy series opens with a two-and-a-half-hour pilot. If you bail after one episode of the doc you have lost nothing, but quitting the fantasy show mid-pilot means you never reach the good part. For three free evenings, go with the shorter commitment.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"priyaq","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-09-28T18:23:44.114Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
