L to R: Cobra Kai, Dishenchantment, and The History Of Swear Words (All images courtesy of Netflix)Graphic: The A.V. Club
Gone are the employees of Dunder Mifflin an in comes Nicholas Cage with a gaggle of experts to teach you everything you need to know about the word “shit.” It’s a fair trade, if you ask us.
To be honest, January isn’t a particularly packed month when it comes to new original content from Netflix, but there are still a few big ticket items worth considering next month. Season three of Cobra Kai, for instance, arrives in the new year (though Netflix hasn’t revealed the specific day yet). Following last season’s ugly brawl, the new chapter explores a change in dynamic between Danny (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka), resulting in a potential team up of the ages. Netflix also returns to Dreamland with a new season of Matt Groening’s Disenchantment, which teases new worlds and the brand new threats that come with them.
But if you’re looking for something a little more educational, Cage has you covered with a new series, History Of Swear Words. A team of etymologists, historians, and comedians will break down the cultural impacts of words like “fuck” and “pussy” while Cage simply does what Cage does, which is promising enough. The month also brings a suite of new documentaries, including CRACK: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, The Minimalists: Less Is Now, and Tony Parker: The Final Shot.
January also marks your final chance to stream Dallas Buyers Club, For Colored Girls, and Pineapple Express. Check out the full list of streaming debuts and final bows below.
