Shows and movies on Netflix: Life in Color with David Attenborough

It’s time for something for the whole family, and who doesn’t love David Attenborough? Life in Color with David Attenborough is the latest co-production with the BBC in the UK.

For a long time, there have been thoughts that some animals are colorblind or only see the world in black and white. That’s not necessarily the case. Something that this series looks into is just how animals use color to protect themselves and handle the wilderness.

Using innovative technology, the docuseries explores the importance of color for the survival of many creatures. It’s a beautifully-created series, and it’s sure to be a hit with everyone in the house. You can’t beat Attenborough’s soothing voice as he narrates everything.

Check out Life in Color on Thursday, April 22 on Netflix.

Shows and movies on Netflix: PJ Masks

Finally, it’s one for just the kids. Sometimes, you want to be able to put something on for them so you can get on with the housework, right? PJ Masks is perfect, and season 3 arrives on Netflix later this week.

The series follows three children who turn into Cat Boy, Owlette, and Gecko. They fight crime in their neighborhood, usually going up against the villains that Luna Girl sends their way—and sometimes fighting against her in the process.

While the series focuses on right and wrong, it’s also one about friendship and trust. The three children have to rely on each other and work as a team to get the jobs done. It’s perfect for younger children to gain inspiration from.

Check out PJ Masks season 3 on Monday, April 19.
