What to watch on Netflix this weekend: Aaron Hernandez, Sex Education and more

Ready for the arrival of movies and TV shows on Netflix? Here are our top recommendations to watch this weekend!

While movies in theaters are struggling with a bad reputation, things are going great over at Netflix! The end of January will give the streaming titan an even bigger boost with the release of Miss Americana, Ragnarok, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. These are some of the most anticipated projects, but we have plenty to keep us entertained.

For starters, one of Netflix’s most popular series returns with Season 2, Sex Education. The true crime documentary, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, is also trending. Many subscribers are also still catching up on You Season 2, The Witcher, Dracula, and Cheer. 

What has kept your interest going so far this year on Netflix? Here are 5 not to miss: 

Grace and Frankie Season 6: As popular as Grace and Frankie is (there are six seasons now steaming), I believe it is underrated with the “younger” crowd. I am here to tell you that you need to give this show a chance! It’s a heartfelt light comedy full of life lessons and laughter. Season 6 premiered Jan. 15.

This debuted on Netflix Jan. 15.

A Fall from Grace: From writer and director Tyler Perry, A Fall from Grace follows Grace Waters (Crystal Fox) a woman getting over her ex-husband’s affair and trying to move on to another romance.

Sex Education Season 2:  The anticipated second season has finally arrived! Sex Education stars Asa Butterfield as Otis Milburn, an awkward high school student who becomes popular for his knowledge of sex. It’s not so much (at all) that Otis is experienced, but his mother Jean (Gillian Anderson) is a sex therapist. We can’t wait to see what new misadventures await Otis in Season 2.

Ares: Need a psychological horror to watch this weekend? Enter the world of Ares on Netflix, now streaming. The series follows a secret student society where newbies and best friends Rosa and Jacob join in order to gain wealth and power, but at what cost?
