It's pretty much always a big month for new shows on Netflix, but October especially is a standout month. Spooky season is here, y'all! That means the long-awaited arrival of the followup to Mike Flanagan's 2018 breakout hit horror series The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and it also means some intriguing new international series as a part of this year's Netflix and Chills lineup. But if you're just not here for the horror and Halloween Netflix moment, that's ok! October also brings some binge-worthy comedies with Emily …
TV shows are probably the best way to understand different cultures and the reality of countries all over the world. And Netflix has been investing heavily in Brazilian productions that give international viewers a broad perspective of Brazilian culture, history and also politics, with deep dives into Brazil’s complicated judicial system, panoramic views of the history and development of its music, as well as current readings of social interactions whose parallel to the Covid-19 pandemic are inescapable. Here are 13 Brazilian shows that you must watch to not only have fun and spend some time (maybe laugh and …
There's usually a bit of an entertainment lull in September, as the kids head back to school, awards season starts gearing up, and folks get to watching their old favorites for the upcoming holidays. But 2020 ain't your average year, and in a lot of ways, September is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing content months of the year. On Netflix, that naturally means a lot of binge-worthy shows are coming your way, and there are quite a few worth getting excited for, depending on what you like. For one thing, you're definitely …
It’s easier than ever to be an Anglophile these days, largely thanks to streaming services like Netflix, which have brought a wider variety of titles than ever across the pond and right to our doors (and/or our living room couches, as the case may be.) Where we once had maybe a dozen titles to choose from each year, thanks primarily to ongoing network franchises like PBS’ Masterpiece Theater, we now have hundreds, and even the most discerning fans can feel a bit spoiled for choice. Love period pieces? You can now pick your preferred timeframe — from gangsters in …
This year really is out here already trying to tell us its August, huh?

Well, 2020... we've had better years as a species, right? However, that's not television's fault, and the last several months have featured some very welcome episodic distractions, courtesy of Netflix. The best shows we saw since the ball dropped on New Year's Eve featured sexy vampires, sexy reality show strangers, and some very sexy food. They also, though, offered up moving portraits of humanity, raised important issues about race, class, and religion, and did their best to answer some of life's most important existential questions. Into the Night kept us on the edge of our …

Television, in trying times, can be a real gift: distracting us, teaching us about others, making us kinder, keeping us sane. Right now, the world is very lucky to be sheltering in place with a lot of truly outstanding programming — while it's unclear what the next six months will bring (both when it comes to television and the world), what is clear is that this list of the best shows to air so far this year was originally going to be capped at 20. As you'll see below, we couldn't keep it to that, as there were …
You just really can't seem to slow Netflix down. New month?

Children's entertainment has really gone through big changes through the decades. TV shows and movies used to appeal to kids with colorful, visually simplistic, and safe, heavily inspired by fairy tales and Disney shorts and movies. Nowadays, there's an overabundance of content available for people of all ages, with content that treats them as grown-ups and doesn't talk down to them. Emotionally-charged TV shows for kids are now common ground, and epic adventures are no longer reserved for teenagers and adults. But like with every other aspect of the Peak TV era, too many TV …
Despite the fact that vampires have more or less fallen out of the zeitgeist since Rob Pattinson brushed the last speck of glitter from the high planes of his cheekbones nearly a decade ago, the the sheer volume of serialized vampire content available to anyone with access to even a single screen has, thanks to the rise of Peak TV, absolutely exploded. On the one hand, it would be easy to look at this vampiric explosion and roll your eyes at the goofy excess of it all. Sure, thanks to Peak TV’s preference for the grim-dark and gory, …

Need a new binge?

And fortunately, it's a pretty good bunch of options when it comes to new TV shows on Netflix this month, whether you're looking to finally binge one of the best comedy shows of the 21st Century, or just tune in to the latest easy-watching Netflix originals. And to make picking through all the …
It’s not TV. It’s HBO. That’s the moniker that graced pay cable screens throughout the 1990s, as the “Home Box Office” network began experimenting with original programming for the first time. Most of those early shows were comedies, and some were even groundbreaking (lookin’ at you The Larry Sanders Show), but it wasn’t until the late 90s and early 2000s that HBO became responsible for inventing what is now known as “prestige TV.” The Wire and The Sopranos were unlike anything else on television, not only at the time, but in history. HBO’s subscription model …
Look, we're not gonna' sugarcoat it, things are looking pretty rough out there. Thanks to the rapidly-spreading coronavirus, we've basically hit the part of the movie where a scientist played by, like, Thomas Middleditch is saying "stay home or we won't be able to contain this thing" and an army general played by a Clancy Brown-type is like "get this nerd out of my war room." Don't listen to the Clancy Brown-type, folks. Listen to Hollywood's three dads, Tom Hanks, Idris Elba, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Take this seriously. Stay home if you …
