Take Care of Maya

Adding to Netflix's extensive catalog of documentaries is Take Care of Maya. In 2016, a ten-year-old named Maya Kowalski was admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. As the medical team worked to understand her rare illness, they also began to question the truths that held the Kowalski family together. Maya's subsequent placement in state custody set off a chain of tragic events that irrevocably altered the lives of the Kowalski family and will challenge viewers' perceptions of children's healthcare.

Glamorous

Glamorous is a comedy-drama TV series that revolves around the life of Marco Mejia (Miss Benny), a young, gender non-conforming queer individual who finds themselves in a stagnant phase. However, their fortunes take a turn when they secure a position working for the renowned makeup tycoon, Madolyn Addison (Kim Cattrall), the CEO and founder of Glamorous Cosmetics. Madolyn enlists Marco to serve as her trusted confidant, offering to impart all her knowledge and expertise in return. Yet, Madolyn cautions Marco that the world of business and life itself is not always filled with glitz and glamour. Through their journey, Marco's experiences will aid them in discovering their true aspirations, unraveling their identity, and understanding the significance of their queerness.
