Hey all – Steve here. If you have followed my writing, you know that on the first of each month (or any time before the 10th – leave me alone) I bring you the list of what’s new on Netflix. Obviously the biggest news of January 2021 is that The Office is now gone from Netflix and has moved to their home base of Peacock. That being said, you’ll forgive me for being a few days late in 2021 and enjoy the goodness that is coming to Netflix!
As always, let me know what YOU’RE watching on Netflix!
