Self-care comes in many forms. For some, it’s slapping on a 24-karat gold face mask and calling it a day, while others prefer sweating it out at hot yoga. But for us, we like to unwind in front of a good sitcom, romantic comedy or action-packed series. Real talk: we all deserve some quality me-time every once in a while (with a cup of tea and salty snack in hand). So, if you’re in desperate need of a break from your endless cycle of work, sleep, repeat, we rounded up everything that’s coming to Amazon Prime Canada in September 2018, including every season of Grimm, the new must-watch series Forever (starring Maya Rudolph!) and so much more. Happy binge-watching!
