Netflix is kicking off 2018 with an exciting lineup of new content coming to the streaming platform in February. Let me walk you through some of the most anticipated additions that will keep you entertained during those chilly winter nights.
Must-Watch Original Series
The crown jewel of February’s releases has to be “Altered Carbon,” Netflix’s ambitious new sci-fi series. Think “Blade Runner” meets “Black Mirror” – it’s set in a future where human consciousness can be digitized and transferred between bodies. The production value is incredible, and Joel Kinnaman delivers a compelling performance as the lead.
“Everything Sucks!” is another original series worth mentioning, taking us back to a 1990s high school in Oregon. If you loved “Freaks and Geeks” or feel nostalgic about the 90s, this one’s definitely for you.
Returning Favorites
“Seven Seconds,” starring Regina King, is making its highly anticipated return, and “Coach Snoop” gives us an intimate look at Snoop Dogg’s youth football league. These shows demonstrate Netflix’s commitment to both dramatic storytelling and compelling documentary content.
Classic Movies Making a Comeback
Remember “Ocean’s Eleven”? Well, it’s coming to Netflix in February, along with “Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2.” These classics are perfect for those movie nights when you want something reliable and entertaining. “American Pie” is also joining the lineup, bringing its iconic late-90s humor to the platform.
Family-Friendly Additions
Parents, you’ll be happy to know that “The Emoji Movie” is arriving for the kids, along with several new animated series. “Greenhouse Academy” Season 2 is also dropping, providing quality content for young teens.
International Content
Netflix continues to expand its global offerings with “Re:Mind,” a Japanese mystery series, and “Marseille” Season 2 from France. These international additions offer fresh perspectives and storytelling styles that you might not find in traditional American programming.
What’s Worth Your Time
If you’re asking me what to prioritize, I’d say “Altered Carbon” is the must-watch of the month. The production value alone makes it worth your time, and the story is genuinely intriguing. For movie nights, you can’t go wrong with the “Kill Bill” series – Tarantino at his finest.
Remember, some of these titles might become available at different times throughout the month, so keep an eye on your Netflix homepage. Also, it’s worth noting that while these new additions are exciting, some content will be leaving the platform to make room for the fresh arrivals.
