Here's Everything You Need to Watch on Netflix Next Month
September is an important time for pop culture. It is, after all, the month both Beyoncé and Will Smith (read: timeless stars of stage and screen) were born. And it's the month during which some people celebrate the birth of Adam Sandler (read: *disappointed in your last decade of work emoji*). September is also the time when screen junkies transition from hitting the movies for entertainment to firing up the flatscreen. Netflix knows this. So, as summer turns to fall, the streaming service is giving subscribers new episodes of Narcos and Chef's Table as well as some great action flicks and powerful documentaries. Oh, there's also a little show called Luke Cage that we're pretty excited about. Here's everything you need to watch on Netflix next month.
Chef's Table: France (2016)
It seems like food television is everywhere nowadays—from Top Chef all the way down to Guy's Grocery Games. If you're not full off it yet, give Chef's Table a try. Each episode delves into the life of a world-renowned chef and in so doing offers a much more intimate look at food and the people behind it than your average cook-off show. Season 2 was split into three parts, with the first six episodes premiering in May. The next offering will focus on four French chefs: Alain Passard, Adeline Grattard, Alexandre Couillon, and Michel Troisgros. Chef's Table does an amazing job of humanizing the expert chefs and the food—made by masters and shot dramatically—looks like fine art.

Amanda Knox (2016)
This Netflix original documentary dives deep into the case of Amanda Knox, the study-abroad student who became the prime suspect for the murder of her apartment-mate. After being held for four years in Italian prison, becoming tabloid fodder for the Italian and American press, she was eventually acquitted. Now five years after her release, the documentary reexamines her strange and tragic case.
