Even with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm serving you new movies, new TV shows, and original programming tailored to your viewing habits, the streaming service’s fire hose of content makes what’s coming difficult to parse. We’re here to help.
This month, we’ve got new seasons of You and Black Mirror, the Devil May Cry animated series premieres, and a new Asterix and Obelix movie. Relive your Tumblr dashboard in 2012 with Rise of the Guardians! There’s also a charming documentary about a pangolin, a new season of Love on the Spectrum, and the 1991 Addams Family movie.
Editor’s Pick: The Breakfast Club
Director: John HughesCast: Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy
Saturday detention brings together a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Though they’re initially all at odds thanks to their separate school cliques, they eventually bond and learn a little bit more about each other — and themselves. Even though edgy Allison gets one of the most needless makeovers in cinematic history, it’s still a good time. The Breakfast Club is a classic for a reason!
