It doesn’t make sense, but October is almost here. If you want to spend the fall season curled up watching TV, Netflix’s October offerings include the last season of Emmy darling “Schitt’s Creek,” a number of Adam Sandler oldies, a ton of spooky Halloween movies and — somehow — a Christmas movie called “Holidate.”
