Sometimes, the pressures to pay for a million streaming services can feel like a drag. Especially when some apps don’t necessarily update their libraries each month, leaving you to spend whole evenings skimming tired content you’ve already seen. Luckily, Netflix is devoted to constant refreshes, and this month, they’ve outdone themselves with a bevy of new titles, including thrilling documentaries, films, new seasons of your favorite shows, and exciting live events.
This month, Netflix has outdone itself with a wide variety of content — whether you need some laughs or want to get serious, you’ll find the perfect pick on this list. First, we’re tuning into a holiday romcom with an especially silly premise. Then, we’re counting down the days until Emily of Paris returns to our screens. Finally, we’re getting pumped for the final episodes of our favorite supernatural series.
