And just like that, the first month of 2017 is over. For Netflix, it was barren beyond A Series of Unfortunate Events. Thankfully, February seems better packed on the originals front – there’s two exciting documentary series, one about design, and the other on cooking – and Netflix’s eagerness at Sundance means we’ll be treated to an award-winner much earlier than you’d normally catch a festival film.
Here are our five guaranteed-good picks for February 2017, and the full list of movies and TV shows coming to Netflix India after that.
I don't feel at home in this world anymore. / February 24
When a depressed nursing assistant’s (Melanie Lynskey) home is burglarised, she finds a renewed sense of purpose in her life by tracking down the thieves with the help of her obnoxious neighbour (Elijah Wood), who is also a martial arts enthusiast. The two find themselves quickly out of their depth in this Macon Blair (Blue Ruin, Green Room) written-and-directed film, which won the Grand Jury Prize at 2017 Sundance Film Festival this past week.
The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story / February 3
The first season of the anthology series focused on footballer O.J. Simpson’s much publicised court trial – the people involved in the prosecution and the defence, The Juice’s friends and family, and the many incidents that caught the public eye, including the glove that wouldn’t fit. For the show, it helped that the cast and crew delivered top-notch work, especially the likes of Sarah Paulson, and Sterling K. Brown. It won a total of nine Emmys, and the Golden Globe for Best Limited Series in January. The series is also available for streaming on Hotstar.
The 100: Season 4 / February 3, weekly
After Earth gets ravaged in a nuclear apocalypse, the only survivors were the ones living in futuristic space habitats orbiting our planet. Almost a century later, 100 juvenile prisoners are dispatched to the surface to check out the inhospitable conditions. The series, loosely based on a book of the same name, has been praised for its morally complex nature from the start, even if it’s never quite hit the peaks viewers had hoped. For ardent sci-fi fans though, The 100 remains a compelling watch, whose fourth season begins this month.
Abstract: The Art of Design / February 10
A Netflix Original, Abstract is a documentary mini-series that talks to the greatest designers from all corners “whose work shapes our world”. That involves industry veterans such as graphic designer Paula Scher, illustrator Christoph Niemann, architect Bjarke Ingels, Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, automotive designer Ralph Gilles, and photographer Platon. It’s being marketed as much more than just “blueprints and computers”, and a detailed study of both the art and science of good design.
Chef's Table: Season 3 / February 17
If you’ve been a Netflix subscriber at some point, you’ve probably come across Chef’s Table. The original documentary series goes into the lives and kitchens of the world’s renowned chefs, and shows you how they work. It’s food porn at its glorious best, sprinkled with enough character along the way. The third season, arriving in February, will profile Nancy Silverton at Osteria Mozza in Los Angeles, Ivan Orkin at Ivan Ramen in New York, Tim Raue at his restaurant in Berlin, Virgilio Martínez in Lima’s Central, Jeong Kwan at Baekyasa Temple in Korea, and Vladimir Mukhin at Moscow’s White Rabbit.
