What to Watch RN: Our Netflix Binge List for Rom-Com Lovers in the UAE

Okay besties, let’s be real — there’s no better feeling than slipping into your coziest loungewear, lighting a candle that smells like a spa, and diving into a romantic comedy binge. Whether you're solo-sipping tea/smoothie or watching while pretending to fold laundry, this one’s for our rom-com queens.

We've rounded up the Netflix shows everyone in the UAE is watching right now — think love, laughs, and just enough drama to keep you texting the group chat after each episode.

1. Sweet Magnolias

Genre: Romance / Feel-Good DramaVibe: Small town, big feelings, lots of sweet tea (and even sweeter love stories)

Three lifelong besties juggling life, love, and a whole lot of Southern charm in the town of Serenity? We’re in. It’s heartwarming and perfect for a girls-night in. Bonus: Season 3 is officially here, so binge without guilt.

2. Emily in Paris

Genre: Romantic Comedy / Fashion FantasyVibe: Croissants, couture, and complicated love triangles

Yes, we’re still obsessed. Emily is still mispronouncing French words, Gabriel is still ridiculously goodlooking, and the outfits? Chic. It’s stylish, it’s fun, it’s everything you need for a night of escape in a city that always looks golden.

3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Genre: ComedyVibe: Wholesome weird meets New York chic

Kimmy is back (or back on your watchlist) and this time we’re loving her quirky charm even more. This one is ideal for when you want a break from romantic drama and just want to have pure, unfiltered fun with laugh-out-loud moments and low commitment.

5. Working Moms

Genre: Comedy / Real TalkVibe: Laugh-cry-relate-repeat

Not technically a rom-com, but we’re including it because it gets us. These women are funny, flawed, and dealing with chaos in the most fun way possible. Whether you're a mom or not, it's relatable.

Our Watch Night Tips:

• Pair your binge session with cozy pajamas

• Order your favourite Chinese take out

• Light a candle, slap on a face mask, and call it intentional self-care

So whether you're binging for the fashion inspo or just the laughs, there's definitely something on this list you'll enjoy. Happy watching and don’t forget to tag us in your cozy binge setups.
