Netflix Canada: What's Good In October?

All The New Stuff You Should Watch On Netflix This Month
Netflix

It's getting cold. Much, much colder. The idea of staying indoors, curling up on the couch and watching Netflix Canada gets more and more appealing as the leaves keep on falling.

This month, there is no dearth of engaging -- and in some cases outright scintillating -- content for your viewing pleasure. Movies-wise, take a look at Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac." Of course, Volumes 1 and 2 are both available. Or maybe you want to take in the visceral "Beasts Of The Southern Wild," which earned rave reviews back in 2012.

There are some new TV shows available in October as well, including Season 5 of "The Vampire Diaries." If laughing is more your thing, then check out Season 21 (21!) of "America's Funniest Home Videos." Guys getting hit in the groin with a baseball bat never stops being funny. We agree.

HuffPost Canada and Netflix Canada have teamed up to provide you with our best suggestions for new arrivals, long-time favourites and titles coming soon. Stop shuffling aimlessly through Netflix's library, and just take our word for it.

We will update with new suggestions biweekly -- feel free to check back whenever you're at a loss. Of course, Netflix Canada has way more titles than we have listed here.

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article did not list the streaming dates for two movies. "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" will be available for streaming on October 18 and "Jodorowsky's Dune" will be available on October 23. Netflix Canada didn't notify us of these dates originally. We've made changes to the article below and apologize for any misinformation given.
