Your weekend watchlist: New documentaries, cool classics and more on Netflix
If one of your goals this year was to watch more educational shows and learn something new, you’re in luck.
Netflix has dropped a lot of relevant content, including the Nicolas Cage-hosted docusueries that delves deep into the history of expletives and cursing (something we find ourselves doing a lot to cope with stress).
Other shows that may help you pick up good habits includes an animated series on mindful meditation, and a cooking reality show that champions how to creatively make use of leftovers for brand new meals.
