Not long ago, us poor, unsuspecting pop culture enthusiasts were positively drowning in the unforgiving sea known as Netflix’s potential, wading through a freshly announced wave of original films that is supposed to span the entirety of 2021 with one new film a week. It’s a promising start for the mega streamer as we hurtle towards a year in pandemic mode, which has had an immense impact on both the film and TV production industries. Meanwhile, Netflix keeps trucking as best as it possibly can with gobs of content that is sure to serve as a complement to any indoor Valentine’s Day plans.
Two of the biggest romantic premieres in the streamiverse will undoubtedly be Malcolm & Marie and To All The Boys: Always And Forever. Filmed entirely in quarantine (and likely the first major production to accomplish as much), Malcolm & Marie stars John David Washington and Zendaya, who reunites with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson for an intimate, black-and-white look at a strained adult relationship. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the third and final installment of the To All The Boys series is bursting with color and confusion of young love. Both look stellar.
If you aren’t into romance these days, how about a rousing tale about elder abuse? I Care A Lot stars Rosamund Pike as a greasy, court-appointed legal guardian to the elderly who is able to grift her clients’ assets by legal means. She finally meets her match in an unassuming woman (Dianne Wiest) who has ties to a ruthless gangster (Peter Dinklage). Chris Messina also appears in this presumed romp, rounding out a cast of heavy hitters in this little bit of V-Day counterprogramming.
There is definitely an influx of original programming premiering in February, so check out the list of new offering below.

For those outside the US, I Care A Lot is an Amazon Original in a bunch of countries. It’s out the same day though, so I guess Amazon and Netflix co-operated on arranging its release.
Yeah, these lists are usually useless to me. For example, both Inception and Shutter Island have been on Netflix for a few months now.
Oh hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for my chance to watch Eat Pray Love.
Other than Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, I’m really excited for Kid Galactic. That one’s by a Cartoon Network alum, right?
Kid Cosmic and yeah, it’s by Craig McCracken. Count me in too.
That Amy Adams has been having a rough go of it lately, ya know?
Any idea when these are coming?:The Walking Dead Season 10
Better Call Saul Season 5
In The Dark Season 3
The Blacklist Season 8
???
If you haven’t watch Bates Motel, get on it. A truly great show that doesn’t get enough love.
It’s on my queue, but I have the same problem I have with Lovecraft Country and most dramas I technically want to watch – the drama is, invariably, more stressful than relaxing, so I can’t watch a bunch in a short amount of time. Is making it through only one season worth it?
No, it’s really not. Bates Motel genuinely gets better and grows with each successive season. So, one season is kind of worthless.
Looking forward to I Care A Lot, mostly for Pike (she’s wonderful when she’s playing an evil shit but I still say her Jane Bennett is my favourite depiction of that character). Is this latest drivel in the All The Boys saga the last one? Please say it is. I’d gladly fire the entire cast into the heart of a volcano…
