#1 If you have Netflix and some free time this month then this guide is for you.
#3 Clickbait
[One season, 8 episodes]
Overview:Clickbaitexplores the ways dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media, and reveals the ever-widening fractures between virtual and real-life personas. For instance, the Brewer Family, who discover that one of their own, Nick Brewer, is missing, having appeared on a viral video, which contains a chilling message, saying that he will die should the video reach 5 million views. It is set in Oakland, CA, but was mostly filmed in Melbourne, Australia.
My review: Feels a little lifetimey, definitely no critically acclaimed, but will burn up some watchtime. Eventually you wont care the characters aren't believable and you'll be hooked waiting for the next plot twist.

#2 The Circle [Season 3]
[13 Episodes]
Overview:The contestants, or "players", move into the same apartment building. However, the contestants do not meet face-to-face during the course of the competition, as they each live in their own individual apartment. They communicate solely using their profiles on a specially-designedsocial mediaapp that gives them the ability to portray themselves in any way they choose. Players can thus opt to present themselves as a completely different personality to the other players, a tactic otherwise known ascatfishing; for example, one male player in the first season presented himself as a female identity, while another female contestant used photos of a woman she felt was more attractive.
Throughout the series, the contestants "rate" one another from first to last place. At the end of the ratings, their average ratings are revealed to one another from lowest to highest. Normally, the two highest-rated players become "Influencers", while the remaining players will be at risk of being "blocked" by the Influencers. However, occasionally there may be a twist to the blocking process varying from the lowest rating players being instantly blocked, the identity of the Influencers being a secret, or multiple players being blocked at one time. Blocked players are eliminated from the game, but are given the opportunity to meet one player still in the game in-person. Then, the day after a blocking, a video message is shown to the remaining players to reveal if they were real or fake.
During the finale, the contestants rate each other one final time, where the highest rated player wins the game andUS$100,000. Also, fans ofThe Circleare able to vote for their favorite player. The player that receives the most votes is known as the Fan Favorite and receivesUS$10,000.
My review: Don't binge this one too quickly. The first 8 or so episodes are out now with more being released weekly. Watch this if you love drama. Stay far away if you hate game shows. If you don't like waiting week to week, there are two other seasons already on Netflix you can watch before this. The previous season has nothing to do with the season after, so you can definitely watch these in any order.

#1 Sex Education [Season 3]
[8 Episodes]
Overview:Sex Educationprimarily follows Otis Milburn, an insecure student at Moordale Secondary School. Otis begins the series ambivalent about sex, in part because his divorced mother Jean is asex therapistwho frequently has affairs with her male suitors, but is unable to maintain romantic relationships. His best friend is Eric Effiong, the gay son of Ghanaian-Nigerian immigrants. Over the course of the series, Otis becomes close with Maeve Wiley, a confident student whose high intelligence is overshadowed by her troubled past.
My review: This is a must watch. It's a british teen comedy drama but it is absolutely fantastic. Please do not start this from season 3 if you missed the previous two. I wish I could watch this again for the first time.
