Nick and Vanessa Lachey host as the season unfolds week by week, showing the couples going from the pods to a romantic trip, then moving in together. This season focuses on how these couples navigate everyday life – including their jobs and different lifestyles – as they try to make their connections work and ultimately decide if they want to get married.

2. ‘Mob War: Philadelphia vs. The Mafia’ (2025)

As a true crime buff, I just finished this three-part docuseries about the brutal mob war that took over Philadelphia in the 1990s. It focuses on the battle between established boss John Stanfa and the ambitious Joey Merlino. They really dig into the hits, the illegal operations, and how the FBI tried to crack down on everything. It’s all brought to life with interviews and old footage. It’s a quick watch – just one season – and Netflix rates it for mature audiences. What’s really compelling is hearing from people who were right there at the time – former mob guys and locals who saw it all go down.

The popular romantic comedy series created by Erin Foster is back for a second season, continuing the story of Joanne, a podcaster who’s open about sex, and Noah, a rabbi.
