12 Best Shows on Netflix Right Now (April 2025)

One of Netflix’s most underrated series, Sweet Magnolias isn’t anything more than an enjoyable drama about good people doing good things. That sounds boring, but throughout its four seasons, the show has provided enough entertaining moments to remain one of the streamer’s most consistently watched original shows.

The show focuses on the friendship between three friends: Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), a mother of three recently separated from her husband Bill (Chris Klein); Helen Decatur (Heather Headley), a successful attorney contemplating a career change; and Dana Sue Sullivan (Brooke Elliott), a chef who runs her own restaurant. The three women navigate life, love and everything in between while living in an idyllic South Carolina town. 

Sweet Magnolias is romantic escapism, but it’s done well, and the three leads are genuinely charming. The fourth season premiered on February 6, 2025 and with its continued success, it’s bound to return for another season.
