Here’s Flare’s rundown of all the new shows and movies worth checking out this July on Netflix in Canada—and what to binge before they’re gone

So, slather on the SPF and start streaming everything coming (like a brand spankin’ new season of Stranger Things, Queer Eye and Orange Is the New Black) and going (like holiday classic The Holiday *cries on Jude Law’s muscular shoulder*) to Netflix Canada this July.
