Too much to watch and too little time? We highlight the new Netflix shows you can’t miss this September

September is finally here and with it comes a slew of exciting shows for us to stream and binge throughout the month as many of us take time off with our kids for the school holidays. 

No matter if you have joined the throngs of Singaporeans flocking to nearby Malaysian cities such as Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur for the holidays or if you plan to kick back and just chill out at home this month, there will always be time to binge-watch a new series (or two). 

From the exciting dramatised documentary of the rescue of a school football team from a flooding Thai cave to the hilarious fifth season of Cobra Kai, there is so much on offer this month. 

Here, we highlight six shows that you should watch.
