It's time to get a little uncomfortable. Maybe it's because you see your childhood staring back at you when the Carmen Sandiego reboot hits Netflix on Jan. 18, 2019. (I was too old for the TV show, but I can't remember how many hours I spent with that game growing up.) Or maybe it's when Trigger Warning with Killer Mike lands the same day. Or maybe you'll start out your new year with the new season of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
One way or another, 2019 is going to be a big year for Netflix. And January is coming out swinging.
(Still stuck in December? Here's what's new for the final month of 2018!)
