There are six new projects on Netflix this weekend for you (also me) couch potatoes to enjoy.

Half are reality-based shows: one about metalwork, another about racing and one for true crime buffs. The other three have international flavors: South Korea, Indonesia and Japan.

If you're into Korean dramas, there's Miss Night and Day. If you like getting scared and still be fascinated by a different culture, there's Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams. And if you're feeling nostalgic about your childhood, there's the new Ultraman: Rising.

So sit back, relax, Netflix and chill.
