Hey, no need to feel any FOMO this season when you’ve got Netflix. After all, TV makes you smarter, right? This being autumn and all, it’s staying-in-and-out-of-the-cold season. What better way to do that than by snuggling on the couch and watching a movie or binge-watching an entire season of a TV show? With over 50 titles being released in the month of November, Netflix has options to keep you occupied. Since the holidaysare right around the corner, there are a few choices that make this month’s list that will get you into the festivities :)
Making good on their promise to release a Netflix show every six months, Marvel is serving up season one of Jessica Jones (11/20), a new series starring Krysten Ritter as an ex-superhero with a past. Also, Aziz Ansari stars in the comedy Master of None: Season 1 (11/6) as a 30-year-old actor in New York trying to figure out his life.
Check out John Mulaney: The Comeback Kid (11/13), a comedy special, if you’re looking for a laugh (or 10.) Brand new sketch comedy series With Bob and David: Season 1 (11/13) also promises to be a riot. Another original called Seven Deadly Sins: Season 1 (11/1) that’s about a deposed princess, with the help of evil knights, fighting her way back to her throne — which sounds like Daenerys Targaryen if you ask me.
If you’re in the mood for thrillers and mystery, check out River (11/18) featuring the inimitable Stellan Skarsgård as a detective tormented by the deaths of his partner. Of course, there’s also a new kid’s option as well: Care Bears & Cousins: Season 1 (11/6) revisits the beloved bears and their adventures.

It’s totally cuffing season, so let’s jump in with one of the greatest romances (and tragedies) of all time with Anna Karenina (11/12) with Keira Knightly as a the title character.

Also dropping are couple of documentaries like Kurt Cobain documentary Soaked in Bleach (11/15), a behind-the-scenes look at Raf Simons’ turn as artistic director at Dior in Dior and I (11/14), Do I Sound Gay? (11/3) — a fascinating look at voice inflection and sexual orientation.
