No other streaming service releases as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare even a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We try to cover each of the new releases on Netflix weekly, but today, we’re also going to drill down on the returning shows.
It’s a varied week this week on Netflix, with an interesting selection of returning shows. Comedy fans get a new season of Mo, adventure fans get a new season of The Recruit, anime fans have a new season of The Seven Deadly Sins to watch, and sports fans can tune in for a new season of the rugby docuseries Six Nations: Full Contact.
