Club Benefits
Planning to squeeze in a Netflix binge this weekend? If you've got no plans or errands to run and you're just looking to kick back and relax on the sofa in front of a Netflix series, but you don't want to waste your spare time endlessly scrolling through the streaming service's countless categories and genres, allow me to step in.
Netflix adds tons of new shows and movies every month— here's everything new on Netflix this January as proof — and that means it can be pretty difficult to keep up with what's new and noteworthy. But, every week, we pull together a list of just three recent Netflix additions that you might want to stream on the service; you can find this week's new-to-Netflix recommendations below.
New to Netflix shows to stream this weekend
'Agatha Christie's Seven Dials'
Looking for a quick miniseries to fit in this weekend? I'd recommend checking out "Agatha Christie's Seven Dials," a fast-paced, witty new take on the Queen of Crime's Seven Dials Mystery from ex-"Doctor Who" showrunner, Chris Chibnall. He's turned this into a characterful, frequently funny three-part murder-mystery show that you can polish off in a single evening.
"Seven Dials" takes us back in time to 1925, to a lavish country estate in southern England. There, a seemingly harmless practical joke appears to have gone terribly, murderously wrong. Suspecting foul play, amateur detective Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent (Mia McKenna-Bruce) sets out to unravel the truth — and in doing so, uncovers a chilling plot that will change her life forever.

'His & Hers'
Chances are, "His & Hers" needs no introduction to the majority of our readers, as this twisty six-part mystery thriller series has held tightly onto the No. 1 spot on Netflix since its debut earlier this month; it's already brought in almost 20 million viewers in its first week on the platform.
If you're not caught up yet, "His & Hers" centers on two people: Anna Andrews (Tessa Thompson), and her estranged husband, Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal). Anna's an ex-news anchor who heads back to her Georgia hometown after a brutal murder, and Jack's the officer heading up the official investigation into the death. Anna launches her own inquiry into the crime, and as Jack grows suspicious of her interests, the pair find themselves on opposite sides of a complicated murder case, with secrets seemingly around every corner...

'The Upshaws'
worthy"The Upshaws" returned for the seventh and final part on January 15, bringing this easy-watching, old-school sitcom to its end with an extra batch of 12 half-hour episodes. It might be a farewell, but Netflix promises this final run is "culminating in an unforgettable series finale," so expect a worthy send-off.
Created by Regina Hicks and Wanda Sykes, "The Upshaws" follows family patriarch Bernie (Mike Epps) and the rest of his Black, working-class Indianapolis family. Bernie tries to do his best to care for the rest of the family — wife Regina (Kim Fields), their daughters (Khali Spraggins and Journey Christie), son (Jermelle Simon) plus the teenage son Kelvin (Diamond Lyons) he had with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis), and ge along with his sister-in-Law, Lucretia (Sykes) — but without that blueprint for success.
