But it’s not all romance: Natasha Lyonne’s mind-bending comedy Russian Doll and twisted superhero drama The Umbrella Academy will both see their premieres this month as well. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the streamer is premiering its first original dating show ( Dating Around) and gifting us the third season of its best original series about familial love ( One Day at a Time). Plus, this February, Netflix is bringing over fifty new shows and movies to its platform, and tons of it will appeal to queer audiences.
But at least we can take pleasure in the fact that we’re moving into the shortest month of the year, one when we can also celebrate our nation’s Black history and gorge on chocolates for Valentine’s Day (if you’re into that). We all know that 2018 was an awful year, and given what we’ve seen so far in January, 2019 doesn’t seem to be starting off that much better.
