Six Netflix AMC series to watch if you’re a sucker for the supernatural
It always starts with one random episode. Nothing big, no hype. Just that weird AMC section on Netflix no one really pays attention to; no idea why it’s even there. Honestly, the title looked kind of dramatic in that old-school way, so it felt safe to try. And that one click took you to the world of the supernatural shows on Netflix, and you never looked back.
The thing is, these shows aren’t trying to be scary; they are just slow, and they brood. People here whisper instead of screaming. Everyone has secrets and trauma and some centuries-old problems they never dealt with properly, and supernatural stuff is mere background. What actually matters here is how every character looks like they haven’t slept in years and still somehow find time to fall apart romantically.
And once it captures your mind and heart, that’s it. You keep watching. It starts with one episode, and before you know it, it turns into five, and you start genuinely relating to a witch who is being haunted by her bloodline or a detective who’s being haunted by his own guilt or a vampire who talks too much and never apologises for it.
So yes, if the Netflix homepage has been feeling a little too bright and polished lately, this is your escape plan. Six AMC shows that have been sitting there quietly and somehow still not getting the attention they deserve. Go ahead and pick your pick.
Six Netflix AMC series to watch
Interview with the Vampire
Forget what you know about the old Tom Cruise version because this one is THE ONE. It is way moodier and bloodier, but also still tender. Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid turn the classic Anne Rice story into something dangerously emotional. It’s not about monsters; it’s about obsession and the price of eternity when you can’t let go of someone who ruined you.
Every scene, nay, every frame feels like it’s been dipped in heartbreak, yet you cannot stop watching. The dialogue is rich and full of pain disguised as poetry. You don’t watch this one casually but sink into it, like you’ve made a bad decision you already know you’ll repeat, and we are all in for it.
Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches
Alexandra Daddario finally gets her moment through this show, and she spends most of it questioning reality. This show follows her as Dr Rowan Fielding, who is a neurosurgeon who suddenly discovers she is the heir to a powerful witch dynasty, which is just about to be the worst family secret imaginable.
If you believe goth is your style, then this show with the dreamy-eyed protagonist is designed for you. There’s magic which will never get old to watch. Betrayal? Of course. You also have one mysterious spirit that might be helpful or might be playing everyone for fools. Think of it as the supernatural soap opera you didn’t know you needed.
A Discovery of Witches
A Discovery of Witches basically translates into that one relationship you chose to be a part of, even though you knew it wouldn’t last. It starts with Diana the witch, who accidentally finds this ancient manuscript, and suddenly, all the vampires and creatures are on edge, and right in the middle of it, she falls for this centuries-old vampire who honestly should’ve been in therapy instead of falling in love with a historian. Talk about the plot twist, lol.
It has everything from obsessive enemies to supernatural politics that make zero sense, but you pretend to understand (of course). It’s slow but not in a boring way. A better way to explain would be like committing to a Wattpad story, which starts dragging in between, but you can’t leave because you want to know how it ends. You stay for the romance, but you end up caring way too much about witch hierarchies and bloodlines.
The Walking Dead
Look, we all know it got memed to hell, but the first few seasons of The Walking Dead are genuinely iconic in their own way, and you can’t argue with that. In fact, it makes you kind of miss the time when TV wasn’t afraid to go feral. It’s not about zombies. It’s about how people fall apart when everything familiar is gone and survival turns you into someone you barely recognise, and how trust becomes a luxury.
You get attached and think the makers won’t kill the character they make you get attached to, and then they do, and they do it brutally, and you keep watching because now you’ve emotionally invested in this dirty little group of survivors and their moral dilemmas. Some arcs drag, yeah, but the tension never really goes away.
Fear the Walking Dead
Before everything turned into a multiverse of zombie spinoffs, Fear the Walking Dead was a breath of fresh air. Also known as a prequel that actually worked. Here, you know the apocalypse is coming, but they don’t. They are still going to work and fighting with their families and being messy and tired, and then suddenly none of that matters anymore because society just… breaks.
What’s cool is how the show doesn’t try to make anyone a hero. Everyone’s selfish in different ways. Everyone’s panicking and doing what they think is right and messing it up anyway. And it’s comforting, because it reminds you that no one’s ever really prepared, and that if everything fell apart tomorrow, you’d probably be just as unhinged as they.
Dark Winds
Let’s take a little detour from the gothic mess and visit Dark Winds. It is AMC’s reminder to you that mystery doesn’t need fangs to get under your skin. This show is set in the 1970s, and it follows two Navajo police officers solving crimes that go way too deep. Zahn McClarnon is the kind of performer who doesn’t need to raise his voice to make you listen, and he is purely magnetic in this show.
The whole show kind of sits heavy in your chest. And it’s not scary, just heavy, and you think about it way after the episode ends because it’s not just about the crime; it’s about everything buried around it.
