2. The Zone: Survival Mission 2
We can’t be the only ones who teared up when Lee Kwangsoo ended up leaving Running Man after over a decade. We spent the whole episode sobbing over his last appearance. But we’re so excited to see him back with Yu Jaeseok for this newest TV show. Joined by Kwon Yuri, the trio goes through a disaster-simulated virtual space called The Zone and must survive hours in the unknown. Oh, and there are traps and temptations that’ll cause chaos, of course.

3. The Witcher Season 3 Volume 2
Destiny might have brought them together, but dangers are trying to force them apart. In the second volume of Season 3, we see Geralt and Yennefer fight to keep Ciri safe as war begins to brew in the Continent. For anyone who hasn’t seen the show before, let us give you a quick breakdown. This fantasy television drama is based on the book series The Witcher by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.
It tells the story of Geralt of Rivia (a monster hunter known as the witcher), Yennefer of Vengerberg (a sorceress), and Ciri (the crown princess of Cintra). Because Geralt and Ciri are linked by destiny, the witcher now becomes the princess’s protector and must fight against her pursuers. Oh, and this’ll be Henry Cavill’s last season as the witcher before Liam Hemsworth takes over, so it’ll be worth taking the time to watch.

5. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
From the whimsical mind of Wes Anderson comes this adaptation of a beloved Roald Dahl story. Henry Sugar is a wealthy man who enjoys gambling. While stationed at a hospital in India, he chances upon a doctor’s report of a strange patient who calls himself The Man Who Sees Without Using His Eyes. What inspired the curious name? The fact that despite medically sealing the man’s eyes, he still had the ability to see things! Fascinated by the man’s condition, Henry Sugar seeks the man out, only to find that he has passed away. We’re not sure how much this film deviates from the book, but there’s only one way to find out.
Coming soon on Netflix

A young mermaid with a heart for adventure longs to explore a world so fascinating and unknown to her.

8. The Bear Season 2
With a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and the general love from the internet, it’s considered one of the standout shows of 2022. So imagine our excitement when we found out that it’s back for a second season. Restaurant servers rallied together as the show thrusts you into the lives of talented chef Carmy and his crew, getting into the intricate idiosyncrasies of restaurant life. But what strikes a chord with fans is The Bear’s uncharacteristic cinematography where every episode feels like an entirely different show.
