If you’ve taken a peek at Netflix’s Top 10 lately, most of it probably won’t surprise you. In the number one spot? WWE Raw, as usual (it seems to live there every Tuesday). Then there’s Ginny & Georgia, which just dropped its third season, followed by Tires, the raunchy comedy that’s been making people actually laugh-out-loud. Sirens, a buzzy, star-studded series, takes the fourth spot.

But when I got to number five, I had to do a double take. Because unlike the rest, this one isn’t new. It’s not a fresh season. It’s not even a 2020s show. Enter: Blindspot.

Yep, Blindspot—the crime drama that originally aired on NBC from 2015 to 2020—is suddenly having a serious resurgence. The show dropped on Netflix on June 7 and, clearly, people (myself included) are into it.

The premise? A mysterious, tattoo-covered woman is found naked inside a duffel bag in the middle of Times Square. She has zero memory of who she is but the FBI quickly discovers that her tattoos are actually clues—each one unlocking a different crime they must solve. Needless to say, things get twisty fast.

What’s funny is, I remember when this show premiered and thought, “Huh, looks cool,” but I never actually watched it. So the fact that all five seasons are now on Netflix means, yeah, I’m queuing it up ASAP. And I’m clearly not the only one.

“They put Blindspot on Netflix!! Love that for me,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “Blindspot on netflix is goodtttt why nobody told me about this show.” Someone else? Already on episode 13 of season 1.

Moral of the story? Old show or not, Blindspot is clearly finding a whole new fanbase—and I’m officially in.

If you’re looking for something binge-worthy, go ahead and add it to your watchlist. We can spiral together.
