January is here and Netflix is kicking things into gear with genre programs like Archive 81 and quirky animated series, The House. George Mackay and Jeremy Irons put in the work in the World War II drama Munich: The Edge of War. And after an extended wait, it is finally the beginning of the end for Ozark, which returns to the streamer with the first half of its final season. Kristen Bell’s dark satire The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window touches down at the end of the month. And in case you need more Queer Eye goodness in your life, keep an eye out for Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness. You just may learn a thing or two.
