If you're looking for something good to watch for Valentine's Day, but you feel like you've scrolled the regular Netflix selection to death over the years, we've got you covered. To make the streaming selection easier as you settle in for the night, we've put together a list of recent romantic highlights in the Netflix library, from the much-hyped To All the Boys I've Loved Before followup to some Netflix Original Series highlights and a pair of old-fashioned sappy Nicholas Sparks romances that arrived on the streaming service just in time for V-Day.

There haven't been a whole heck of a lot of romantic highlights on Netflix in the last few months, so if you don't find what you're looking for here, be sure to check out the Best Romantic Movies on Netflix, The Best Rom-Coms on Netflix and the Sexiest TV Shows on Netflix.

To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You

To All the Boys I've Loved Before was the breakout hit of Netflix's Summer of Love, the programming event that helped usher in a newfound enthusiasm for rom-coms, tender and charming to boot, subverting all the antiquated rom-com ropes while highlighting all the best ones. With To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You now on Netflix, Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) are back for a sequel that explore what happens after their happily ever after; especially when the last of the handsome young men (Jordan Fisher) who received one of Lara Jean's letters comes back into her life.

While the sequel hasn't met with the same rapturous critical response as the first film, word is the next chapter in Lara Jean and Peter's love story is a worthy sweet treat for a Valentine's Day watch. As Matt Goldberg said in Collider's full review:

"To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You is still a nice rom-com for the Netflix crowd that wants to chill out with a sweet picture with charming lead actors, and I do appreciate that it’s trying to do something slightly different rather than just replicate the formula of the original. But while To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before can easily stand as a rom-com staple on Netflix, P.S. I Still Love You is more of a curiosity that you’ll probably watch once before pressing play again on the first movie."

The End of The F***ing World

Ok, admittedly this one may be pushing the limits of "new" content since it came out late last year, but in case you missed it, you definitely want to put The End of the F***ing World Season 2 on your V-Day watchlist. Or if you somehow missed the wildfire breakout first season, settle in for both, because at just eight 30-minute or less a season, this series was designed to be binge-watched shotgun-style while you get swept up in the wild, unorthodox, and deeply dark romance of James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden).

While Season 2 didn't quite live up to the frantic Bonnie and Clyde on a teen honeymoon antics of the first installment, it thrived in its own right as a slower more meditative reflection on loss, loneliness, and living with your mistakes. As I said in Collider's full review:

"Most impressive is the way The End of the F***ing World Season 2 rebukes the very intoxicating tragedy that made the first season end with such a wallop. It’s a story that wants to slap the poison out of Juliette’s hand and tell her to get her shit together. Once again, it’s a story about the light that slips through the cracks in broken hearts; this time, the light may not be quite as dazzling, but it’s absolutely still worth capturing."

Sex Education

Sex Education is one of those lowkey Netflix hits that seemed to come out of nowhere and thrive on the power of good buzz. Even if you haven't caught Sex Education yet, you probably know someone who loves it. Asa Butterfield stars as Otis, the son of a sex therapist (the always extraordinary Gillian Anderson), who has become the de facto sex expert at school thanks to his second-hand knowledge. and decides to set up a sex advice business with resident "bad girl" Maeve (Emma Mackey).

Sex Education returned for its second season last month to more good buzz, deepening the dynamics and developing between the teenaged and adult characters alike, and digging into the supporting cast. As Nick Ross said in his four-star Collider review:

"Just like the students, this series has grown into something more mature. Authentic and grounded performances from the entire cast elevate the show beyond the inspirations it was based on. With some surprising moments in the final episode (and the most awe-inspiring version of Romeo & Juliet I think anyone will ever see), Sex Education has an opportunity to become something truly special and deserves your attention."

Sex, Explained

Speaking of Sex Education, if you're looking for something a little more information for your evening, check out Sex, Explained, the latest Vox/Netflix Explained collaboration, which features Janelle Monae as the host of this streaming sex ed. In five thirty-minute-or-less episodes, Sex, Explained investigates everything from 'Sexual Fantasies' to 'Birth Control' to 'Childbirth', presenting a host of scientific information and data with the help of colorful animated graphics and Monae's voice over. It might not be the sexiest choice for a Valentine's evening, but it is a pretty insightful investigation into human sexuality, romance, and biology.

A Nicholas Sparks Double Feature

If you're looking for an old-fashioned sappy romance for Valentine's Day, you can never go wrong with a Nicholas Sparks movie. Fortunately, Netflix added two classics from the catalogue this month, just in time for the holiday. First, there's Dear John the 2010 drama starring Channing Tatum as a soldier who meets the girl of his dreams (Amanda Seyfried) and spends the next seven years toughing it out with her through his deployment. It's everything you'd expect from a Sparks movie, saccharine sweet and heart-stomping, and Tatum and Seyfried make charming pair.

And then, of course, there's The Notebook. The 2004 period drama starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams is the crown jewel in the Sparks cinematic canon, a genuinely excellent romance movie that embraces all the best qualities in his love stories without an excess of the downsides. It's a classic. It will make you want to yell at your lover in the rain. It will make you want to write them every day for a year. Basically, it's a can't-miss Valentine's Day classic.
