This new 6-part Netflix comedy series is a must-binge this week, November 3–9, 2025. Season 2 just dropped on Thursday, and it’s poised to make a big splash in viewership. While thrillers like The Asset, Rulers of Fortune, and Amsterdam Empire climb global streaming charts, this returning comedy is already earning critical acclaim.

Season 1 earned an impressive 94% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics and audiences alike, making this returning Netflix series one of the most talked-about comedy shows to binge right now. Screen Rant’s latest best Netflix shows to binge this week roundup includes it as a top pick — and for good reason.

The Vince Staples Show Is A Must-Watch Netflix Comedy Series This Week

Season 2 of the beloved “slice of life” series The Vince Staples Show is Screen Rant’s top pick for a Netflix comedy to binge this week. Even if you missed season 1, it’s easy to catch up — all five episodes, each under 26 minutes, can be watched in a single night.

The show blends dark comedy, satire, and surreal biographical storytelling in a style similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm and Atlanta. It follows Vince Staples, the “kind of famous and sort of rich” rapper, navigating life in his hometown of Long Beach, CA, with an absurdist lens. Fans of The Chair Company on HBO Max will likely enjoy this series as well.

Beyond acting and creating this Netflix series, Vince Staples is an elite hip-hop artist known for hits like “Norf Norf,” “MAGIC,” and “Big Fish,” with notable collaborations including Mac Miller, Billie Eilish, Tyler, the Creator, and Earl Sweatshirt. His latest single, “Corporate Thuggin’,” dropped in October.

Netflix Quietly Became A Comedy Powerhouse In 2025

Thanks to hilarious modern comedy series like Mo, Tires, Nobody Wants This, and The Vince Staples Show, Netflix has proven that it’s not joking around when it comes to its 2025 slate of comedy series. While dramas and thrillers continue to top Netflix’s global streaming charts, original comedy shows like these have mostly earned widespread critical acclaim and strong viewership.

These recent successful efforts in comedy push Netflix closer and closer to the same premier level as Apple TV, HBO Max, and Hulu, which collectively have taken home the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for the last five years. Netflix has received several nominations in the category – for titles like Wednesday, GLOW, and Russian Doll – but has never taken home TV comedy’s biggest prize.

The Vince Staples Show may not be the comedy series to get Netflix over that hurdle, but it is a crucial stepping stone for the world’s largest streaming platform to affirm its new comedy brand identity. Not only is The Vince Staples Show hugely entertaining, inventive, and hilarious, but it also lays a firm foundation for the future of comedy on Netflix, which is even more reason why you should binge it this week.
