Netflix’s November 2026 slate is live, and so far this month, the streamer's added a whopping 15 new shows to its library. I'd wager that’s more shows than most subscribers probably watch in a whole year — trying to finish it all in a month is basically impossible.

To help you figure out what to watch first, I’ve turned to review site Rotten Tomatoes to pick out the Netflix arrivals with the highest critics' scores. Of course, just because a show has a high Rotten Tomatoes rating doesn't mean it will be to every Netflix subscriber's taste, but it's a great jumping off point to see which new-to-Netflix shows are probably worth your time.

Before diving into November's top three, a quick point of order: Any Netflix originals not yet released at the time of writing were left off the list, as they lack Rotten Tomatoes scores. If two titles tied, I used the audience score to break the deadlock.

With that out of the way, here are the three TV shows added to Netflix in November 2026 with the highest scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

A badass Black protagonist in a Western steampunk anime? Sign me up. "Bass X Machina" stars Brian Tyree Henry as Bass Reeves, a real-life escaped slave turned groundbreaking lawman whose legacy inspired a Taylor Sheridan show and HBO’s “Watchmen,” among other pieces of pop culture. Showrunner LeSean Thomas ("The Boondocks," "Black Dynamite," "The Legend of Korra") uses his legacy as a jumping off point for a mesmerizing mythos all its own, blending fantastical steampunk westerns with real-life history — and it's cool as shit.
