The weather is changing, the days are getting shorter, and before you know it, it's dark outside before you've even figured out what you're eating for dinner. Welcome to fall in Buffalo!

And while I'm not quite ready for everything that comes with the colder weather, I am ready for one thing: Netflix and chill!

I'm talking a good blanket, some snacks, your favorite people, and a lineup of shows and movies worth staying home for.

Whether you're planning a girls' night, spending time with your boo, or enjoying some much-needed alone time, I've got four Netflix picks you need to tap into.

Now, this one is bringing the drama! Starring Kerry Washington and Ben Affleck, Animals follows a Los Angeles mayoral candidate and his wife whose lives are turned upside down when their son is kidnapped.

And if you need a refresher, go back and watch the original A Different World too! The culture, the fashion, the friendships, and those important conversations still matter.

Tyler Perry is back with another story about love, struggle, and second chances.

Doing Life stars Naomi Baker and Jay Reeves and follows a single mother who develops an unexpected relationship with an incarcerated man through letters.

It's a story about finding love in unexpected places, overcoming difficult circumstances, and believing that your past doesn't have to determine your future.

This might be the one to watch with your girls because you already know there's going to be plenty to discuss afterward!

So grab your snacks, get comfortable, and prepare to have opinions about everybody's decisions.

Fall is the perfect excuse to slow down, stay inside, and enjoy a good movie or series.

Call your girls, plan a cozy night with your boo, or make it a solo self-care evening. Whatever you decide, there's something on this list for you.

Now tell me, what are you watching on Netflix that I need to add to my list?
