While it’s true we miss hitting up the latest restaurants and spending the weekends at the beach, one of the silver linings of spending so much time indoors is the chance to smash all of those series and movies you’ve been meaning to binge but didn’t quite have the time.

To the surprise of perhaps no one but to the joy of many, Netflix’s biggest show of all time (yes, it even beat out Bridgerton), Squid Game, has been renewed for a second season.

They say that deux is always better than un, and that's certainly the case when it comes to Netflix series Emily In Paris.

From real stories of coaches who changed games forever to the fictional rags to riches trajectory, these movies never get old.

Welcome to Culture Curve—your go-to guide to what’s on the rise and slide in culture in April 2021.
