An interesting month in new releases on Netflix in the US this month with a mixed bag across the board. We’ve had some updates to well known series and also plenty of Netflix Originals to fill in the gap of not having very many movies added to service throughout the month.
With regards to numbers, we saw 63 new TV series and documentaries added to Netflix along with 97 new movies. Both of these numbers are significantly down on the month before where January saw 117 new movies and 115 new TV series and documentaries added. This could be simply down to the time of the year or Netflix switching their priority to quality over quantity. Although you could strongly argue this month has been anything but full of quality.
Highlights
Let’s go over some of the highlights of the new additions but we strongly recommend you head over to our top 10 titles added to Netflix in February for a more complete guide.
Kicking off with the originals, we had the reboot to the 90’s fan favorite show, Fuller House. It has already split opinions right down the middle but not in the traditional sense. This time around the fans are in complete disagreement with the critics on this one. Another great original to arrive this month is a brand new cooking show called Cooked. It follows a famous food critic to discover how exactly some food is made.
This month also saw the first season of Better Call Saul become available on Netflix along with updates to Bates Motel and An Idiot Abroad.
Movies were a real let down this month but there’s still some hidden gems in there even if most are for kids. Cult classic Full Metal Jacket saw a return to Netflix in the beginning stages of the month, the movie follows a brutal boot camp during the Vietnam War.
For the kids, both live action Scooby Doo movies became available along with the British spy movie, Johnny English. That’s not all however, as The Wild Thornberry Movie from Nickelodeon arrived but the real standout movie this month was Stardust, the 2007 fantasy epic with an all-star cast set in a magic realm beyond the wall.
