“Working: What We Do All Day”:

-

This four-part docu-series borrows its title from Studs Terkel’s oral history on American labor. But host and co-executive producer Barack Obama will remind you more of another Chicago legend. He’s spent much of his post-presidency positionin­g himself as the next Oprah Winfrey. The highlights come whenever Obama pops in on common citizens, oohing over a part-time musician’s latest tunes, grocery shopping with a single mother and delivering lunch to desk-bound operators. Even those who hate his politics will have to agree that he exudes the warmth and wit of a daytime talkshow host. TV-14. Available on Netflix.

“Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me”: Anna Nicole Smith gets the Netflix documentar­y treatment. The film chronicles Smith’s life as a model, Playboy playmate and reality star. Smith died in 2007 at the age of 39 from an accidental overdose. “You Don’t Know Me” includes home video of Smith, whose birth name was Vickie Lynn Hogan, and tells her story through the eyes of those closest to her. TV-MA. Available on Netflix. 1 hour, 56 minutes. “XO, Kitty”: If you watched the “To All the Boys” movies, you probably remember scene-stealer Anna Cathcart as the confident, chatty kid sister, Kitty, to Lana Condor’s Lara Jean. Cathcart has landed her own spinoff series called “XO, Kitty.” Created by “To All the Boys” author Jenny Han, the show follows Kitty as she travels to Korea to attend an elite boarding school at which her long-distance boyfriend is a student. It’s also the same school her late mother went to a teen. Kitty imagines she can make a seamless transition to a new school in a new country and a romantic reunion with her boyfriend, but she quickly realizes life doesn’t always go as planned. TV-14. Available on Netflix.
