(SPOT.ph) Finally, after what seems like forever, January is coming to a close. We don't know about you, but we're ready to close chapter one of twelve and head straight to chapter two: February. And while most of you may think the second month of the year is going to be full of sappy love stories, rom-coms, and a whole boatload of drama, you're only partially right. This month Netflix is giving love a darker twist with stories about obsession, lies, and passion. Yup, we're calling it. You're going to think twice about calling February all fluff. We rounded up 10 new Netflix shows that'll have you, dear Spotters, all hot and bothered this love month.
