Sex Education (Season 3)
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Cast: Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling
Writer: Laurie Nunn
Runtime: 45 min
The biggest comedy on Netflix right now is Sex Education by a country mile and it returns today with perhaps its biggest and best-reviewed entry to date.
We know that Netflix trailers viewership is often indicative as to how popular shows are and if that’s the case, Sex Education season 3 is going to be a home run.
Never checked out the show? Here’s what you can expect:
“Insecure Otis has all the answers when it comes to sex advice, thanks to his therapist mom. So rebel Maeve proposes a school sex-therapy clinic.”
Squid Game (Season 1)
Genre: Action, Thriller, Drama
Cast: Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-jun, Oh Young-soo, Jung Ho-yeon, Heo Sung-tae

Squid Game has been one of our most anticipated foreign titles for a while. The intriguing series sees a game show play out which is unique, to say the least.
Early reviews indicate this thriller is definitely worthy of watching and given the ending, we’ll hopefully be getting much more down the line.
