If you've ever wasted hours scrolling through Netflix looking for the perfect show to watch, you should know that you're not alone. It can be difficult to find exactly the right thing.

Then check out the best new shows to stream this week, as well as the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, the best shows on Amazon Prime Video, the best shows on Max, and the best shows on Disney+. Gangs of London (2020-) Everyone loves a gangster show, and Gangs of London is one of the best. The series follows a group of international crime families who converge on London in the aftermath of the assassination of a hugely powerful figure in the city's underworld. Although it's a sprawling story over three seasons, Gangs of London has also featured the kind of tension and action that few series can generate. That's likely thanks, at least in part, to the influence of Gareth Evans. However, it's also a function of the fast-paced writing of the series, which has continued to build momentum each season. You can watch Gangs of London on Netflix. The Pacific (2010) This less widely heralded younger brother of Band of Brothers is no less an accomplishment than the original series. The show is set in the Pacific Theater during World War II. It follows the lives of three soldiers as they battle their way across the Pacific during the entire war. With the backing of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, no expense was spared in the recreation of some of the most important battles of the war, but what's remarkable about The Pacific is how much time the show takes to remind us how young the men fighting this war were and how much it changed the course of their lives. You can watch The Pacific on Netflix. Supernatural (2005-2020) One of the longest-running shows in the history of sci-fi television, Supernatural went through many phases of life over the course of its 15 years on the air. At its core, the show was always about two brothers hunting monsters and fighting for each other no matter what life threw at them. Part of the show's brilliance comes from the way that circumstances around these two might change, but their personalities remain the same. No show can run for 15 years without being a great watch, and that's exactly what Supernatural is. You can watch Supernatural on Netflix.

Gangs Of London is back - here's what you need to know
Gangs Of London is one of the most violent shows on television and has gripped audiences since its release in 2020. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, it follows undercover police officer Elliott Carter, played by Sope Dirisu, working in the heart of a top-level criminal organisation after infiltrating the infamous and powerful Wallace family. Now in its third season, familiar faces return, and new villains emerge as the battle to lead the criminal underworld rages on. Note: Mild spoilers ahead "Every year we're trying to go a bit further," Dirisu told Sky News. The London-born actor is the cop-turned-criminal whose life was turned upside down when his family were killed in a car accident. Season three delves into those events as Elliott takes on a new role among the gangs. "It's a great testament to the response that we're getting from our audiences that they want more of it. People are still engaged. There are some shows that don't get to make a season three, so we don't take that for granted at all," he said. Set in a fictionalised version of London, akin to Gotham in the Batman universe, season three sees some new faces joining the fold. "It does feel like Batman is going to fly in at any minute," laughs Richard Dormer. The Game Of Thrones actor plays Cornelius Quinn in the series, the brother of Michelle Fairley's Marian Wallace and the uncle of Peaky Blinders actor Joe Cole's character Sean Wallace. Dormer said: "I watched episode two of season one, when they raid the Travellers camp, and I just really sat up with wow. I just thought it was brilliantly done, technically, it was just amazing to watch." For the actor, as much as he enjoys being part of the cast, the violence depicted is not his cup of tea as a viewer. He said: "I'm not a big fan of it but I think technically, when it's done right, it's breathtaking. There's this kind of a thrill in it because it's safe and so over the top that you know it's not real so you can kind of wallow in it and enjoy it, you know." Andrew Koji takes on the mysterious assassin role, hidden by a hood and a glorious side fringe, in the upcoming episodes. "I didn't realise the fringe was that prominent," he told Sky News after watching the new episodes, adding "it's gone now, hopefully never to return". After working on Bullet Train, Warrior, Snake Eyes and most recently the Netflix show Black Doves, Koji said getting to use his background in mixed martial arts is always something he wants to lean towards. "This unique mix of his raid-esque style action with gripping family drama in this kind of heightened, stylised London is interesting, nuanced and different. I jumped at the opportunity."
