It’s a new month, so you know what that means — a new batch of Black TV shows and films dropping on Netflix. With the general election serving as the backdrop for this month we’ll need anything to help take our mind off of what’s to come.

This month a few classic Black films join the streaming service, such as Woo, Two Can Play That Game and Boyz N The Hood, along with a new rom-com starring Kat Graham, a faith-based docuseries from Pharrell Williams and Bishop Ezekiel Williams and a dance documentary from Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland.

Below, check out the new must-sees dropping on Netflix in November.
