Congratulations, my friends! We’ve made it to Cardigan Season.

Look, there is no denying that watching the summer end is always a tough time—even in a year where seasonal traditions have mostly fallen by the wayside. But don’t underestimate the power of cozy! What you’re experiencing now is the best of both worlds. It’s still warm enough for outdoor photo shoots, patio drinks and various forms of outdoor recreation (or napping), but it'll soon be cool enough in the evenings to get a roaring fire going, and to tuck yourself beneath a blanket (for napping).

Plus, the leaves are changing and the sunsets are glorious…. Clearly, I’m an Autumn. Regardless, it’s also the ideal time to binge some quality content from your friends at Netflix Canada! Lots to watch this month. Here are my top picks:

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (9/01)

Despite festival season being a bit of a wash because…well, you know...Netflix ups the ante with some original films this month. First up is I’m Thinking of Ending Things, an adaptation of Canadian Ian Reid’s fantastic debut novel, written and directed by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) and starring Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collete and David Thewlis. The trailer alone looks mind-bendingly awesome, and you really can’t go wrong with Toni Collette.

A Star is Born (9/08)

Relive 2018’s biggest film that wasn’t about superheroes or dinosaurs! Not that A Star is Born isn’t its own franchise in a way, resurrecting itself every few decades since the early days of cinema to warn a whole new generation about the trappings of fame. And Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper acquit themselves well enough to make you almost forget about the Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland and Janet Gaynor versions. Just get ready to hum “Shallow” for the next few months, though. (And if you’re missing your superheroes and dinosaurs, 2018’s Venom and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom also join the streamer this month.)

The Social Dilemma (9/09)

Yes, social media has been a lifeline through the last six months, offering all of us an illusion of normalcy by continuing to connect us with irritating acquaintances, family members and co-workers. But it can also be dangerous! This Netflix doc explores our over reliance on the various platforms, and digs deep into how they are reprogramming our minds and, ultimately, civilization. (And when I’m done watching it, I’ll let you know how I feel about it on Twitter—@jplarocque. Follow me!)

Get Organized with The Home Edit (9/09)

While no one was looking, Reese Witherspoon took over the world. She started her book club, and then optioned pretty much all of those books, turning them into prestige shows like Little Fires Everywhere or Big Little Lies. Her exercise in brand extension continues with this series, featuring The Home Edit founders Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin as they reorganize the homes of both schlebby nobodies and glamourous Hollywood stars! In the stars camp is Witherspoon, Neil Patrick Harris and Khloe Kardashian, but in the schlebby nobodies camp is… Just kidding. You don’t care about them.

The Devil All the Time (9/16)

Get ready for some good ol’ American Gothic! Based on the Donald Ray Pollock novel of the same name, The Devil All the Time follows a group of unsavoury characters in post-WWII Ohio and West Virginia, including a disturbed war veteran, a pair of serial killers and a false preacher. Produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, the film stars Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Sebastian Stan, Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson.

Ratched (9/18)

Sarah Paulson is back! But…did she really go anywhere? Continuing her quest to topline as many Ryan Murphy-adjacent properties as possible, Paulson stars in this prequel series to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, about the early days of Nurse Ratched. As with most Murphy projects, the built-in buzz and camp appeal is certainly present, as is an impressive cast—Cynthia Nixon, Jon Jon Briones, Sharon Stone, Judy Davis, Vincent D’Onofrio, Rosanna Arquette…. So, we’ll see. This is a strange property to build a franchise around, but if there’s someone to do it, I suppose it would be Murphy.

Enola Holmes (9/26)

Continuing with strange franchise properties, Netflix has adapted the popular Enola Holmes Mysteries book series into a film, starring Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown as the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. Hell-bent on avoiding finishing school, Enola runs away to London to start her own detective agency specializing in missing person cases. Super beefcake god Henry Cavill stars as Holmes, while Sam Claflin and Helena Bonham Carter round out the cast. (Should be fun for The Baby-Sitters Club crowd, or at least better than the horror they’ll experience when they accidentally click on The Babysitter: Killer Queen looking for more content this month.)

The Good Place: Season 4 (9/26)

If you haven’t watched The Good Place yet, you should. Mike Schur’s wonderful existential comedy grapples with philosophy and the meaning of life and what it means to be good in a world that often seems to disregard goodness. It’s also very, very funny. The final season comes to Netflix this month, and it’s just as good as everything that came before, ensuring that the series will be regarded as a classic. And the finale? Get your tissues out.

Plus, make sure you catch these titles before they’re gone for good!
