5 good Netflix shows to watch this weekend: June 20-21

The Politician season 2

The first season of The Politician ended with a surprise, and fans have been eager to watch the second season. Well, the wait is over, and you can head over to Netflix now and watch season 2 in its entirety.

The second season picks up three years after Payton Hobart (Ben Platt) is elected student body president of his Santa Barbara high school. Hobart is now seeking the state senate seat away from Dede Standish (Judith Light) and her right-hand gal Hadassah Gold (Bette Midler).

During our current state of politics, it is nice to have an escape from reality and enjoy a comedic look at politics and all those involved.

Floor is Lava

All those years that everyone played the floor is lava as kids is paying off for some people. Floor Is Lava, a new Netflix original game show, is precisely what it sounds like. It’s an adult version of the iconic “the floor is lava” game that has been played for many generations in the comfort of our homes.

This new game show concept takes the childhood game and kicks it up a notch. An intense obstacle course is set up and includes but is not limited to large houses with couches, chairs, tables, curtains, etc. The floor is actually a liquid looking lava.

Needless to say, this isn’t your mother’s living room. The objects are moving, and you must swing across objects, and all the while, the liquid “lava” is spewing about trying to make you fall off. Competitors must maneuver through the course without touching the lava floor.

The show is hosted by Top Gear’s Rutledge Wood, and the first season is available now to watch on Netflix.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay premieres Saturday, June 20.

In the series, Seo Ye Ji plays Go Moon Young, a children’s book author with an antisocial personality disorder. She meets Moon Kang Tae, played by Kim Soo-Hyun, who works in a psychiatric ward and has little time in his schedule for love, according to Netflix.

Both of the characters suffer from emotional wounds and lean on each other to recover.

The director Park Shin Woo told PinkVilla: “The core message of the drama is, ‘You have to look at people as they are.”

Fun trivia: The show in Korean is called “Psycho But It’s Okay.”

Babies season 2

Babies, those adorable tiny humans make most people smile right? Season 2 of Babies is a docu-series focused on the growth and brain development of babies in their first year of life.

This is a show based on scientific studies but has large amounts of baby cuteness. A great show for current or future parents or anyone interested in human development. Babies’ development is a great mystery since they are unable to communicate what they are experiencing. This series takes a look into what makes babies tick.

You can watch the first two seasons on Netflix now.

Rhyme Time Town
