XO, Kitty

• Creator: Jenny Han
• Cast: Anna Cathcart, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Choi Min-yeong, Anthony Keyvan, Regan Aliyah, Peter Thurnwald

For fans of the To All the Boys film franchise, Kitty Song-Covey has always been the adorable, witty youngest sister. We're talking the one who notices everything, offers matchmaking advice, and steals scenes with her charm. Now, she has her own story. Netflix’s XO, Kitty spins off this beloved character into a series that mixes teen romance, coming-of-age drama, and cultural discovery in a way that’s both heartfelt and binge-worthy.

XO, Kitty picks up where Kitty’s story in the To All the Boys films left off. Determined to explore life beyond Portland, Kitty moves to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the prestigious Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Her goal?

To reunite with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae, and to experience the life her late mother once lived at this elite school. But life in Seoul is far from predictable. Kitty quickly discovers that love is complicated, friendships can be messy, and figuring out who you are isn’t as simple as following a plan. There are three seasons of this teen series so far, with the third installment just recently dropping on April 2.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen

• Creator: Haley Z. Boston
• Cast: Camila Morrone, Adam DiMarco, Gus Birney, Karla Crome, Sawyer Fraser, Jeff Wilbusch, Ted Levine, Jennifer Jason Leigh

It’s been quite a struggle on the horror front this year for Netflix, but with the ominously titled Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, the streamer has finally delivered a chilling, thought‑provoking series worthy of attention.

Instead of relying on cheap jump scares or familiar tropes, this eight‑episode horror limited series unfolds like a slow‑burn psychological nightmare that turns wedding jitters into something truly disturbing.

At first glance, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen follows what seems like a typical romantic drama setup. Bride‑to‑be Rachel Harkin and her fiancé Nicky Cunningham are preparing to say “I do.” The couple travels to Nicky’s family’s secluded vacation home in the woods for an intimate wedding surrounded by loved ones. It's supposed to be a picture‑perfect beginning.

But Rachel can’t shake an unshakable feeling that disaster is looming. What starts as normal pre‑wedding nerves quickly morphs into a creeping, atmospheric dread as eerie events and unsettling coincidences begin to stack up around them.

Love on the Spectrum

• Creators: Karina Holden and Cian O'Clery
• Cast: James, Connor, Abbey, David, Madison

Amid a TV landscape filled with cutthroat reality dating shows and surface-level drama, Love on the Spectrum shines as a sincerely heartfelt and uplifting Netflix docuseries. Eschewing sensationalism, it provides an honest, emotionally grounded glimpse into how autistic adults across the United States navigate one of life’s most universally compelling quests. That's seeking love and a meaningful connection.

The American version of the series, which debuted in 2022, is based on an original Australian concept. It follows a diverse group of autistic adults as they dip their toes into the dating world for the first time or navigate ongoing romantic experiences.

The show captures the nervous excitement, tentative hope, and joyful discovery that comes with dating, all while highlighting the unique communication styles, personality traits, and life perspectives of each participant. There are four seasons out so far, with the fourth installment just recently being added to Netflix on April 1.
