It looks like Netflix has delivered another certified hit, and in a year that boasts the likes of Black Mirror season 7, Wednesday season 2, and Squid Game season 3, there's plenty of competition on the streaming giant.
2025 already got off to a flying start for Netflix, with Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham's Adolescence scoring an unheard-of 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
If you're running out of things to binge, Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield's The Four Seasons could be one to watch.
As a modern remake of Alan Alda's 1981 movie of the same name, The Four Seasons plays out over eight binge-worthy episodes, with each block of two episodes covering a different season.

The crux of the story follows three couples as they navigate the trials and tribulations of their relationships, as one pairing prepares to get divorced.
It seems fans can't get enough of The Four Seasons, and with some calling it the best show to grace Netflix, many are watching the entire thing in one sitting.
With an all-star cast that includes Fey, The Office's Steve Carell, and Sing Sing's Colman Domingo, it's being praised as a heartwarming and heartbreaking outing.
Posting online, one viewer cheered: "The Four Seasons on @netflix is probably one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time. Great acting, great script, extremely funny, and extremely touching. Such a relatable show to anyone married or in a relationship."
Another added: "Omg laughing to the point of crying 😂😂😂😂 Go watch The Four Seasons on Netflix!!!! Best random binge watch ever!!!! 😂😂😂😂."
A third concluded: "The Four Seasons on Netflix is the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life."
It's not just casual viewers who are enamoured, with critics also agreeing that The Four Seasons is well worth a watch. The Independent's Lucy Mangan writes: "Part White Lotus without fatalities, part Gilmore Girls on HRT or Golden Girls with men, The Four Seasons is Fey and her writing and acting ensembles on fine form."
The Times' Ben Dowell adds: "The mix of Fey and her writing team’s combination of clever wordplay and broad comedy is performed as skilfully as you would expect from a cast this strong, but it is smart rather than smart-arsed."
The Wrap's Marah Eakin sums up: "Everyone in this cast is notoriously funny, and while this show isn’t exactly doing 'prestige comedy' at the level of 'Hacks' or even 'The Righteous Gemstones', it’s a gentle joy to watch, even during dicey moments that could hit a little too close to home for some couples."
If you've already whipped through The Four Seasons and are worried about what to do next, there could be good news about a potential season 2.
Discussing the idea of more episodes, Fey told TV Line: "I feel like we sort of don’t dare to dream yet, but we did. Who knows. If we were lucky enough to do more of these, we’d certainly all like to hang out again."
Whether that's with a whole new cast or some familiar faces reprising their roles, it's easy to see The Four Seasons going for a fair few more seasons.
