The June Bank Holiday weekend is finally here.
And after a week where the weather's been... a bit all over the place, to put it mildly, the idea of staying in and catching up with the latest films and TV shows on Netflix is super tempting.
Here are five new additions to Netflix to check out this weekend.
1. Always Be My Maybe

Childhood friends Sasha and Marcus have a falling out and don’t speak for 15 years. But when Sasha, now a celebrity chef in Los Angeles, returns to her hometown of San Francisco to open a new restaurant, she runs into her old pal – a happily complacent musician still living at home and working for his dad. Though the two are reluctant to reconnect, they soon find the old sparks — and maybe some new ones — are there.
2. When They See Us

Based on a true story that gripped America,
When They See Us will chronicle the notorious case of five teenagers of colour, labeled the 'Central Park Five', who were convicted of a rape they did not commit. The four-part limited series will focus on the five teenagers from Harlem: Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise. Beginning in the spring of 1989, when the teenagers were first questioned about the incident, the series will span 25 years, culminating in their exoneration in 2002 and the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014.
3. Killer Ratings
