This week on On Our Streaming Radar, we’ve got a little bit of everything: a classic American story getting a fresh start on Netflix, an international thriller with some real emotional weight and great character work, and one of the best — and most controversial — wrestling documentary series returning for a new season.
First up, Little House on the Prairie is back. That is a sentence I didn’t know I’d be writing in 2026, but this time, it’s on Netflix.
This new adaptation still gives you Laura, Pa, Ma, Mary, and the familiar heart of the story. The series comes from showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine and is based on the beloved Laura Ingalls Wilder books, but this version also expands the story with a more modern understanding of what the American frontier truly was — and what it has been.
You still get the themes of family, survival, resilience, and community, but also a more complicated look at the history surrounding westward expansion. And for those who may be unfamiliar with the original series, I think there could be some Yellowstone / Dutton Ranch vibes in there, in terms of family, land, legacy, and survival.
It feels like a timely adaptation, and kudos to Netflix for bringing it back.
Next up is Unconditional, which is on Apple TV. This eight-episode thriller premiered back in May, but it’s one that I think people need to make sure they pay attention to.
The series stars Liraz Chamami and Talia Lynne Ronn and follows a mother-daughter trip that turns into a nightmare when 25-year-old Gali is arrested for drug smuggling in Moscow. That forces her mother, Orna, into a dangerous fight for her daughter’s freedom.
I encourage everyone to check this one out if you like that international flavor, mystery, and thriller storytelling. But what really stands out are the scenes between Liraz and Talia. The writing and the relationship are so strong that once the story gets going, you are along for the ride the entire time.
Unconditional is streaming now on Apple TV.
And finally, Dark Side of the Ring is back on Vice TV for a seventh season.
The new season starts off with a major look at one of pro wrestling’s great villains and Hall of Famers, Jeff Jarrett. The first episodes center around Jeff Jarrett and his creation of TNA Wrestling, which was the only true competitor to WWE for nearly two decades.
It follows the trials and tribulations of the Memphis wrestling star who debuted in the WWF as a country music superstar and later transitioned into the King of the Mountain for TNA Wrestling.
Other highlights this season include looks at Zach Gowen, Paul Orndorff, and The Big Boss Man.
I’ll say this: Dark Side of the Ring has its highlights. Sometimes, I do feel like it focuses too much on the negative side of the business, and on a certain generation of the wrestling industry that is no longer present in the same way today. But I understand why these stories connect. They are unbelievable, emotional, and highly entertaining.
So even with conflicted feelings, I do recommend checking out Dark Side of the Ring, now on Vice TV, with episodes also on YouTube.
