"American Vandal" — September 14

"American Vandal" — September 14

Season two isn't as magical as the surprisingly biting first season, but it maintains the smart premise and tone without sticking to the same formula. It also dives into darker topics including false confessions and flawed education systems. And it's about a prankster called "The Turd Burglar." It's truly poop humor at its best.

"BoJack Horseman" — September 14

"BoJack" is one of the best Netflix originals and one of the best shows on TV right now. And its fifth season is still strong. If you love this show, keep watching. And if you haven't watched, it's probably time to catch up.

"Maniac" — September 21

"Maniac" — September 21

"Maniac" is not for everyone. It's weird and a bit hard to follow for a casual viewer, though it's easier to pay attention thanks to its star-studded cast, which includes Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, Justin Theroux, and Sally Field. It's also directed by Cary Fukanaga, the director responsible for the groundbreaking style in season one of "True Detective."

"The Good Cop" — September 21

"The Good Cop" — September 21

"The Good Cop" comes from the creator of "Monk," so while it appears to be a conventional cop show, it's got a sense of humor about the tired genre, and has a quirky tone. And it stars an unlikely but curious pairing in Tony Danza and beautiful singer Josh Groban.

"Big Mouth" — October 5

 "Big Mouth" — October 5

Season two is just as sweet and gross as season one, and gets to expand its characters and world. If you have time, revisit the first season right before this comes out. It's only eight half-hour episodes, so it won't take too much time.

"The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" — October 26

"The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" — October 26

This show, which is perfectly cast starting with Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina, is also very accurately named. It's chilling and Sabrina definitely goes on some adventures! But don't expect anything similar to the Melissa Joan Hart sitcom. It's very dark, literally and figuratively, and might be a little disturbing for those who are scared easily.

"House of Cards" — November 2

"House of Cards" — November 2

Even if you've never been a fan of the series, it'll be a huge cultural moment as everyone finds out how the "House of Cards" team handled Kevin Spacey's abrupt exit amid the #MeToo movement last year. When Spacey was fired by Netflix, the show had just started shooting its sixth and final season, so it was rewritten with Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) as the lead, which she should have been the whole time.

"Marvel's Daredevil" — TBA

"Marvel's Daredevil" — TBA

"Daredevil's" second season was a bit of a downer, but it's third season could still be worth your time and hopefully is bigger and better. It's the best of the Marvel Netflix shows and if anything, its slow plotting will help you fall asleep.
