Here are what I think are the at least watchable to Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of December 2025:
* The Abandons (2025) Season One Series – Outstanding, Series and Movies set in the “Old West” in the United States (US) tend to do well on Netflix, partly because of the Mystique of that Era, and partly because Netflix is able to get good Creative Teams for it, and this is no Exception. This is a Drama-Thriller about four Middle-class Families fighting against one rich Family over Territory in the mid-1800s. The Pacing is pretty good, but there are still some slow spots here and there, but somehow the Creative Team is able to find Twists to snap the Story into its decent Pace.
Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as expected were great as the strong, Matriarchal Heads of their Factions, and their Conflict is one of the main Drivers of the Plot. The Supporting Cast also did very well to support those two main Characters. The Showrunner of this Series, Kurt Sutter previously was involved behind the Hit Television Shows “The Shield” and “Sons of Anarchy”, and this one very much lives up to the Tradition of those two great Shows. The first really good Series on Netflix for the Month of December 2025.
