Younger complete series on Netflix
In Emily in Paris' absence until season 5 premieres later this year (hopefully!), Netflix very gracefully gave us the gift of Younger. All seven seasons of the TV Land romantic comedy series from Emily in Paris creator Darren Star arrived on Netflix earlier this month. If you love Emily's adventures in Paris and still rewatch Sex and the City on a loop, this is the sexy binge-watch for you.
Sutton Foster's character Liza Miller, a newly divorced single mother in her 40s, lies about her age in order to land a new job at a publishing firm and get back to the career she started before becoming a mom. Suddenly, she's at the center of a sexy, fast-paced new world in New York City, complete with a a love triangle between her hunky boss and a cute, young tattoo artist.
The Night Agent season 2 on Netflix
Obviously, Netflix's original action series The Night Agent isn't particularly known for its romance. It's a show about political conspiracies as Peter Sutherland, an FBI Night Action agent, goes on dangerous missions to take down traitors and threats to national security. The breakout hit series returns with its highly anticipated second season on Netflix on Jan. 22.
Even though The Night Agent isn't inherently a romantic show, there's plenty of romantic tension between Peter and Rose, and that's sure to continue in season 2. Besides that aspect of the series, no one can dispute that watching Peter be a badass is sexy. Gabriel Basso's charm, confidence, and good looks leap right off the screen to make you swoon. Wait, what were we talking about?
