3 Paramount+ Shows Worth Binging This Weekend

Key Takeaways

• Dexter: Resurrection features Michael C. Hall alongside Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, and Neil Patrick Harris in a secret society of serial killers
• The series picks up a decade after New Blood, with Dexter following his son Harrison to New York City
• Killing Eve and Everybody Hates Chris round out a diverse weekend watchlist spanning thriller and comedy genres

Friday night ritual: couch, drink, show. The problem with Paramount+ is its library is so massive you might finish that first beverage before finding something to watch. If you've already caught up on newer series like Marshals and The Madison, here are three shows worth committing to this weekend (April 24 to 26).

Dexter: Resurrection

Michael C. Hall's iconic killer takes Manhattan in the latest chapter of the Dexter saga. When the original series launched in 2006, it felt like the darkest, most unique show on television. The central question that hooked audiences: how are we rooting for a cold-blooded serial killer who dismembers people in a plastic-lined kill room?

Eight seasons, a revival (New Blood), and a prequel (Original Sin) later, Dexter and his dark passenger are still at it. Resurrection picks up roughly a decade after New Blood, after audiences thought he was shot dead by his son and heir apparent, Harrison (Jack Alcott).

Harrison has fled to New York City, where he's hiding out as a bus boy and trying to keep his own dark passenger under control. Dexter follows, and if you thought Miami's Bay Harbor was a playground for serial killing, Manhattan offers a whole new hunting ground.

The casting alone makes this season worth watching. Dexter gets recruited into a secret society of serial killers run by Peter Dinklage and Uma Thurman. Neil Patrick Harris plays a tattoo-collecting murderer. Krysten Ritter portrays a vigilante who targets sexual predators. It's a murderer's row of talent, pun intended.

Dexter's main problem this time isn't just managing his own urges. Original police captain Angel Batista (David Zayas) now knows Dexter's true identity and has followed him to New York. With one season complete and another confirmed, Resurrection has the momentum to keep fans hooked.

Killing Eve

If Dexter's methodical kills feel too controlled, Killing Eve offers a messier, more chaotic thriller. The cat-and-mouse dynamic between Sandra Oh's MI5 agent Eve Polastri and Jodie Comer's psychopathic assassin Villanelle made this one of the most talked-about shows of its run.

The show plays with obsession, identity, and the thin line between admiration and destruction. Comer's performance earned widespread acclaim, and the stylish European locations provide a visual feast. All four seasons are available for a complete binge.

Everybody Hates Chris

For something lighter, Everybody Hates Chris remains a classic sitcom that holds up. Set in 1980s Brooklyn, the show follows a young Chris Rock (played by Tyler James Williams) navigating childhood in Bed-Stuy. Chris Rock narrates, providing adult perspective on adolescent humiliations.

The writing stays sharp throughout all four seasons, mixing genuine warmth with Rock's observational humor. It's the kind of comfort viewing that works whether you're watching one episode or six in a row.
