Now let’s look at our recommendations for some great Netflix shows for the weekend ahead.

Who Killed Sara? season 3

The Mexican mystery thriller Who Killed Sara? is back for it’s third and final season. The Netflix original series was created by José Ignacio Valenzuela and produced by Perro Azul.

Álex Guzmán spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He was convicted of the murder of his sister Sara, and after his release from prison, makes it his mission to discover who actually killed her and get revenge on the Lazcano family who wronged him.

The series has received positive reviews from critics for being a thrilling murder mystery mixed with drama and high energy.

The Umbrella Academy

Now is the time to watch or rewatch The Umbrella Academy seasons 1 and 2. The third season will be released on June 22, and you want to be ready for it. The series is a Netflix original based on the comic book series written by Geral Way and illustrated by Gabriel Bá.

The Umbrella Academy follows a dysfunctional family of gifted sibling superheroes born on the same day in different parts of the world. After their father’s death, they reunite to find out who murdered him while under a threat of imminent apocalypse.

Be cautious in watching this trailer if you haven’t watched the other two seasons, as this is for the third season and could give some things away.

Bling Empire

The Netflix reality series Bling Empire has been described as a real-life Crazy Rich Asians. This series focuses on a lavish group of Asian and Asian-Americans living in Los Angeles. They live fabulous, extravagant lifestyles, and all cast members are connected to the fashion and entertainment industries.

They have money to spend, wear the best designers, and attend the top-tier events the city offers, but don’t worry — a heavy dose of drama comes with all of that. Which, let’s get real, that is why we watch.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the series a 90%, stating, “Bling Empire may be another celebration of lavish wealth, but the focus on an Asian American cast gives this reality program an intriguing layer of cultural celebration.”

Servant of the People seasons 2 & 3

The satirical series Servant of the People launched the political career of the current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Netflix now has all three seasons available once again.

Zelenskyy portrays Vasily Petrovych Goloborodko, an absent-minded history teacher who goes on a profane rant about the corruption in Ukraine that is filmed but a student who loads the footage to YouTube. The video goes viral and, unknown to him, launches his political career, which eventually finds him as the new President of Ukraine.

The series ran for three seasons until Zelenskyy decided to run for president of Ukraine under a new political party named Servant of the People.

The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib season 1

The next installment of the Boss Baby saga, The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib, sees Theodore Templeton revert to his baby self as he has been framed for embezzlement. This story takes place after the event of The Boss Baby: Family Business. 

Boss Baby and his niece Tina will lead a team to increase Baby Love while battling against their new arch nemeses, The Uncuddleables.
