It’s no mystery why so many of the best mysteries are on Netflix. Mystery has turned out to be one of the most popular genres among Netflix subscribers who are looking for a few extra thrills from their movies. There is also an allure to playing armchair detective while attempting to solve the unfolding mysteries before the protagonists get a chance to figure it out.
Our latest update for this list includes Wind River and Prisoners, both of which feature Marvel actors spreading their wings into more dramatic and intense territory. Considering the way they shared the screen in the Avengers movies, it’s kind of bizarre to see Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner with such a different dynamic in Wind River. Meanwhile, Prisoners has one of the darkest turns by X-Men star Hugh Jackman in his performance as an aggrieved father who will do anything to find his missing daughter.
Those are just two of your viewing options in our list of the best mysteries on Netflix right now. Keep reading, and you’ll find the right mystery for your next movie night.
