Netflix shows to watch in January 2020

Netflix’s New Year’s resolution is to bring SA the best content that can be found.

And with the release of new seasons of hugely popular shows such as the third season of the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, season two of I Am a Killer, Titans and Sex Education, it’s clear Netflix is making sure their viewers enter the new decade with a bang.

We are all already really super stoked about today’s release of The Witcher. It’s this year’s biggest fantasy action series about Geralt of Rivia (played by Henry Cavil of Superman fame) who is a genetically enhanced human with special powers, trained to slay monsters.

However, to make sure those of us with extended annual leave are never bored, Netflix is also serving up these new and renewed streaming gems:
