Netflix subscribers may have reasons to send AMC+ a Christmas card this year.
Two former AMC+ originals have arrived on Netflix years after the former unceremoniously canceled them despite renewing both shows.
Both of those series are among the Watch With Us team’s picks for the three underrated Netflix shows you need to watch in December 2025.
The first series is an ambitious sci-fi story, while the second is a legal drama. Our final pick is a supernatural fantasy.
25 Best Shows on Netflix Right Now (December 2025): ‘Stranger Things’ and More
‘Moonhaven’ (2022)
Moonhaven imagines a future where three generations have grown up on a lunar colony that was devoted to finding a way to heal Earth’s ecological and sociological struggles and ultimately save the planet. But just as the residents of Moonhaven are about to return to Earth in large numbers to implement their plan, one of their own, Chill (Nina Barker-Francis), has been murdered.
Detectives Paul Serno (Dominic Monaghan) and Arlo Noon (Kadeem Hardison) are a bit out of their depth as they look into Chill’s murder and her connection with Bella Sway (Emma McDonald), a pilot from Earth. A lot is riding on a quick resolution for this case, as it has unexpected consequences for the pending reunion between the people of Earth and their first colony on the moon. But it may not be as harmonious as anyone expected, and the secrets that emerge could place the future of humanity in doubt.
Moonhaven is streaming on Netflix.
’61st Street’ (2022 – 2024)
61st Street stars Courtney B. Vance as Franklin Roberts, a respected public defender who is on the verge of retirement while facing a cancer diagnosis that may prove to be fatal. Before Franklin can walk away from his calling, he involves himself in the case of Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), a high school athlete who is accused by the police of serious crimes. An officer, Michael Rossi (Patrick Mulvey), lost his life while trying to catch Moses, which could mean a long time in prison for the latter.

A crooked cop, Lt. Francis Brannigan (Holt McCallany), plants evidence and puts the pressure on Moses. But Francis doesn’t realize that one of his fellow cops has evidence of his misdeeds that could send him to prison as well. Meanwhile, Franklin faces an uphill battle proving Moses’ innocence in court, especially since his health issues and the political aspirations of his wife, Martha (Aunjanue Ellis), threaten to make things even more complex.

‘Lockwood and Co.’ (2023)
In the world of Lockwood & Co., ghosts are just real, their touch is fatal to humans and only children can perceive them. That’s why teenagers like Lucy Carlyle (Ruby Stokes) are called upon to be ghost hunters. Lucy has some impressive psychic powers and the ability to hear ghosts, but a tragedy at her previous ghost hunting agency has left her an outcast with few options available for work.
Anthony Lockwood (Cameron Chapman) and George Karim (Ali Hadji-Heshmati) take a chance on Lucy and bring her into the fold of Lockwood & Co. It isn’t long before the agency finds itself in a high-profile case and facing sanctions that may force it to close down. There’s more to this ghost problem than meets the eye, and Lucy’s newfound team may have what it takes to unravel a supernatural mystery that’s gripping their country.
