Sex Education brings all of the same endearing characters and retro vibes to Season Two while also highlighting the very real issues associated with the show’s namesake.

It’s somehow hilarious and touching and powerful all at the same time, making it an absolute must-watch for 2020.
Gentefied – Gentefied is a peek inside a California neighborhood that is seeing the firsthand effects of gentrification. Most complexly, it also asks its three main characters exactly what their role is when it comes to the neighborhood’s ever-changing population. As hilarious as it is thoughtful, Gentefied feels like the little engine that could, and that little engine is delivering a dose of representation that the streamer could really use.
A Fall From Grace – In Tyler Perry’s first film for Netflix, a woman named Grace works to overcome her woes in life when she meets a charming younger man. She falls in-love and marries him, but he soon reveals his true, sinister intentions. Grace snaps, and soon finds herself on trial for his murder.
