The Four Seasons (Season One — Netflix)
Based on Alan Ada’s 1981 classic rom-com of the same name, this series follows six decades-long friends through the ups and downs of life over the course of four seasonal vacations. But as they head out for one of their quarterly weekends away, the couples — Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), and Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) — are upended by the news that one pair is about to split up. Stream all eight episodes on Netflix today!

Big Mouth (Season Eight — Netflix)
It’s time to say farewell to the Bridgeton teens! In the eighth and final season of Big Mouth, the characters grapple with the new challenges of high school: driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, porn and the teenage mind, cancel culture, their changing bodies and fear of a looming future. In addition to the already stacked queer cast and characters, this season introduces a slew of new LGBTQ guest stars, including Cynthia Erivo, Lena Waithe, Keke Palmer, Billy Porter, Stephanie Beatriz, and more! Binge the last chapter on Netflix now.
