If you’re looking for something to watch instead of Super Bowl 2024, you’re in luck. We’ve already picked out the five best Netflix series that are perfect alternatives to the big game. Unlike some of the heavier Netflix productions, these are shows that will uplift your mood and are suitable for any occasion. Plus, they’re great to binge-watch.
“Obliterated” (2023)
“Obliterated” is an excellent choice to counter-program this year’s Super Bowl because both the series and the event take place in Las Vegas. However, what happens in Vegas in this action-comedy is a problem. CIA officer Ava Winters, Navy SEAL Chad McKnight, and their team thought they had saved Las Vegas from a serious terrorist threat that could have destroyed the city. So, they all indulged in drugs and alcohol, celebrating their victory.
Unfortunately, the team’s fun was premature. The previous threat was just a distraction to divert attention from the real terrorist plan. Now, most of the team is either drunk or drugged up and cannot function properly, let alone save the situation. But if they don’t sober up quickly, there won’t be anything left to save in Las Vegas.

“Cobra Kai” (2018-present)
“Cobra Kai” is a sequel to “Karate Kid” that has taken Netflix by storm and is the perfect alternative to Super Bowl, whether you’re watching it alone or at a party. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence over three decades after their showdown at the All-Valley Karate Tournament. Daniel has achieved almost everything he desired, while Johnny has had no luck since high school.
After defending his young neighbor Miguel Diaz in a fight, Johnny is inspired to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo to find a new purpose in life. This sparks a conflict with Daniel as their lives intertwine again. Daniel even starts training Johnny’s estranged son, Robby Keene, while Miguel finds love with Daniel’s daughter, Samantha LaRusso. As tensions rise in the valley, fists will collide.

“Arcane” (2021-present)
Imagine if Pixar produced an animated series for teenagers, and you’ll get something like “Arcane.” Although this series is based on the League of Legends video games, you don’t need to know the franchise to enjoy it. The show explains everything you need to know about the shimmering metropolis of Piltover, which rules over the fallen city of Zaun in a fantastical sci-fi world where impossible technology coexists with magic.
Violet and her sister Powder are tough orphans raised in Zaun. After a catastrophic heist attempt in Piltover, Violet and Powder are chased back to Zaun. As tragedy unfolds, the sisters are separated for many years. The next time Violet sees Powder, her younger sister has changed her name to Jinx and become one of the most dangerous women in Zaun. The chaotic reunion of Violet and Jinx is not what they expected and could lead to a war between Piltover and Zaun.

“Monk” (2002-2009)
“Monk” is a recent addition to the best Netflix series, and its episodic format makes it perfect counter-programming for Super Bowl. Almost every episode of “Monk” is self-contained, and they provide enough mystery, comedy, and drama to keep you coming back for more each time. Tony Shalhoub is absolutely hilarious as Adrian Monk, an incredibly talented detective who is ruled by his fears and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which destroyed his promising career at the San Francisco Police Department.
With the help of his assistant, Sharona Fleming, and her replacement, Natalie Teeger, Monk manages to function well enough to take on new cases on behalf of the San Francisco Police Department. But the funniest moments of the series come from Monk’s eccentricities, which invariably test the patience of everyone around him.

“Seinfeld” (1989-1998)
“Seinfeld” may not have had a new episode in over 25 years, but it remains one of the greatest sitcoms of all time and one of the most popular comedies on Netflix. It’s not just a good alternative to the Super Bowl, but the episodes of “Seinfeld” are suitable for any occasion, from watching it alone to having episode marathons.
Jerry Seinfeld portrays an exaggerated version of himself, getting involved in unfortunate events and misunderstandings with his friends: George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Kramer. The ensemble cast works brilliantly together, making “Seinfeld” a timeless comedy. Thanks to this series, the most absurd parts of the ’90s will live on forever.
