All the shows to watch on Netflix this month
Life by Aminath Sirajudeen 28 mins ago Netflix is serving a refreshing lineup of series perfect for beating the heat as summer begins to heat up, . Whether you're escaping the midday sun with some AC-blasted binge time or winding down after those long summer evenings, we've curated the ultimate Netflix viewing schedule to carry you through the season's first wave of releases. From Arctic-set romantic comedies that'll cool you down to thrillers that match summer's intensity, these are the shows worth trading beach time for screen time. North of North | Now Streaming This groundbreaking Canadian original takes viewers to the fictional Arctic town of Ice Cove, Nunavut. In the series, a young Inuk woman Siaja (Anna Lambe) is rebuilding her life after a very public divorce. Created by Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (The Grizzlies), the series blends stunning Northern landscapes with sharp, heartfelt comedy about community and self-discovery. It's a refreshing perspective we rarely see on screen. Think Schitt's Creek meets Northern Exposure, but with an authentic Inuit voice. Love on the Spectrum: Season 3 | Now Streaming The Emmy-winning docuseries returns with more heartwarming journeys as autistic singles navigate the complex world of dating. This season introduces new hopeful romantics while checking in with familiar faces from previous installments. What makes this show so special is its genuine, non-exploitative approach to storytelling. You'll find yourself genuinely invested in each participant's search for connection. Perfect for when you need a feel-good watch that celebrates love in all forms. Pulse | Now Streaming This gripping medical drama set in hurricane-prone Miami continues to deliver some of the most intense ER sequences since Grey's Anatomy's early seasons. The storm-battered hospital setting adds an extra layer of urgency to already high-stakes medical cases, while the doctors' personal dramas provide compelling character development. Apple Cider Vinegar | Now Streaming Kaitlyn Dever's portrayal of a wellness influencer whose empire crumbles as her audiences realize it was built on lies, remains one of the most biting satires of influencer culture to date. The show's clever examination of how easily good intentions can curdle into deception makes it particularly relevant in our social media age. Black Mirror: Season 7 | Now Streaming Charlie Brooker's tech-paranoia anthology returns with six new tales, including a long-awaited sequel to the USS Callister episode. Early reviews suggest this might be the series' strongest season yet, with episodes exploring AI relationships, digital afterlife, and more disturbingly plausible futures. Adolescence | Now Streaming Stephen Graham's powerful performance anchors this real-time thriller about a father confronting his son's shocking criminal accusation. The continuous-shot format creates unparalleled intensity that will have you holding your breath through entire episodes. When Life Gives You Tangerines | Now Streaming This sweeping Korean drama continues to win hearts with its decades-spanning love story. The show's ability to balance intimate personal drama with Korea's rapid historical changes makes it one of the most emotionally rich offerings currently streaming. You: The Final Season | Releasing April 24 Penn Badgley's murderous Joe Goldberg returns to New York where it all began, completing his journey from stalker to full-blown serial killer. The final season promises to deliver all the psychological tension and dark humor fans expect, while hopefully providing satisfying closure to this twisted saga. Chef's Table: Legends | Releasing April 28 Celebrating 10 years of gastronomic excellence, this special season pays tribute to the culinary icons who shaped how we eat today. Each episode profiles a different legend – from groundbreaking chefs who revolutionized techniques to those who changed dining culture itself. The cinematography remains as breathtaking as ever, transforming each dish into a work of art. Pro tip: Don't watch on an empty stomach. The Four Seasons | Releasing May 1 Tina Fey and Steve Carell lead this sharp ensemble comedy about three long-married couples whose friendships implode when one marriage suddenly ends. Based on the 1981 film, the series follows the group through four seasonally-themed vacations over a year. Each getaway reveals new tensions and truths. The writing delivers that perfect mix of cringe comedy and heartfelt moments about long-term relationships. Siren | Releasing May 22 Julianne Moore is deliciously unsettling as wealthy socialite Michaela Kell, who develops a dangerously obsessive relationship with her young protégé (Milly Alcock). When the protégé's sister (Meghann Fahy) attempts an intervention during a weekend at the Kells' lavish beach estate, tensions explode in this darkly comedic exploration of power, class, and manipulation. Think The Talented Mr. Ripley meets Big Little Lies. April's Netflix lineup offers something for every mood and viewing preference. For those seeking cultural enrichment, North of North and When Life Gives You Tangerines deliver fresh perspectives. Comedy lovers shouldn't miss The Four Seasons, while Siren and You will satisfy thriller fans. To feed the sci-fi geek in you, tune into Black Mirror.
