Nicolas Cage in HISTORY OF SWEAR WORDS.Adam Rose/Netflix—@2021 Netflix, Inc.  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Dec 31, 2020 12:00 PM UTC Enter the new year with mindfulness with the debut of Netflix’s newest original series, _Headspace Guide to Meditation_. The animated show focuses on the [benefits of mediation](https://time.com/4246928/meditation-history-buddhism/), while providing real-life techniques and guided practices for you to try at home. It’s available to stream starting January 1. Documentary lovers will have plenty to stream this month. Cultural commentator [Fran Lebowitz](http://content.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2032523,00.html) offers up her signature sardonic wit in a new Netflix Original documentary series _Pretend It’s a_ City, directed by [Martin Scorsese](https://time.com/5688561/the-irishman-movie-review/). In the new show, releasing on January 8, Lebowitz gives a riotously opinionated guide to New York City, with topics ranging from tourists to the subway. Also debuting this month is Rudy Valdez’s _We Are the Brooklyn Saints_, a four-part Netflix Original doc series that centers on a youth football program in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York, as well as _Surviving Death_, a new original series that explores the possibility of an afterlife. Those looking for an educational (but by no means boring) experience this month should consider a _History of Swear Words_. With this in-depth, expletive-ridden and outrageously funny series hosted by [Nicholas Cage](https://time.com/4871258/nicolas-cage-viral-meme/), the origins of common profanities are explored by experts in etymology, pop culture, historians and entertainers. It debuts on January 5.
