The third season of the reality competition series Floor is Lava is now available on Netflix. This series is inspired by the children’s game of the same name. In this competition, an obstacle course is filled with 80,000 gallons of sticky red goop, the lava, which contestants must avoid.

The third season consists of five episodes which will see three teams of three contestants as they try to maneuver the course.

Derry Girls seasons 1 and 2

The third and final season of Derry Girls releases on October 7. This gives you time to rewatch or have the pleasure of watching seasons 1 and 2 for the first time.

The British teen sitcom is set in the mid-90s and follows a group of teens during the final years of what was known as the Troubles, a conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years. The series is fictional but throws in several actual events that took place during this time. It is a hilarious look at a group of misfits attending a Catholic Secondary School and all the absurd stations they find themselves in.
