A popular South Korean post-apocalypse show wraps up this week when Sweet Home season 3 arrives.

Too Hot to Handle season 6
- Reality dating show returns on Friday, July 19
Netflix's first and only dating show inspired by a Seinfeld episode returns for its latest run of episodes with Too Hot to Handle season 6.
As with the past seasons, this show tasks its cast of "sexually busy" singletons with abstaining from physicality, as they conduct a round of challenges to get to know their fellow cast members on a personal level. A prize pot of $100,000 is reduced every time the cast members break the non-physicality rule, and in some past seasons it's been reduced to nothing by rule-breakers.
Too Hot to Handle season 6 promises to spin the premise in some new ways. It debuts on Friday, July 19 and you can expect a new batch of episodes every Friday for the next few weeks.
Skywalkers: A Love Story

Netflix ends the week with its latest extreme sports documentary which, judging by the press images alone, promises to show you visuals that'll get your teeth chattering.
Skywalkers: A Love Story is about the couple Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau, two Russian climbers who don't climb mountains but buildings. They've made a job and lifestyle out of scaling the biggest towers in the world, and the documentary charts their relationship and their careers as they keep aiming for bigger climbs.
It's a feature-length documentary that you'll be able to watch on Friday.
