Now on Netflix! A list of new shows sure to fulfill your watching fix. Here’s my take on a few of the shows both joining and leaving Netflix over the month of January.
Joining
1. The Shining
Here’s The Shining, a classic horror made in 1980 which is sure to… keep you on edge for the entirety of the film. The suspense really never ends until the final couple of scenes. But hey, all action and no suspense makes Jack a dull boy, or at least I think that’s what he says.
2. E.T.
Hey, I haven’t seen this onesince I was seven. It’ll be like my first time seeing it.
3. Super Man, and lots of him
My kryptonite is when Netflix decides to add the entire Superman series. I mean, not really but it will be nice to see some fighting and high-flying antics.
4. The Parent Trap
Starring not one, but two Lindsay Lohan. Who’s that again? (She’s so young)
5. V for Vendetta
Filling another vacant spot in Netflix, a vivacious movie about vengeance. You’ll find me voracious while watching this one. No really, it will leave you vexed. I remember watching this one for the first time back in English class because of dystopian themes and what not. It is honestly a really good movie, and it’ll be nice to watch it again. Imagine if someday our country was vicariously living through this movie, you know with Trump’s election and all.
6. Bee Movie
Save my soul. This movie, or meme should I say, has become a trend and speed demon on the interwebs. Now imagine me talking about the bee movie, only every time I say “bee” you have to read this 100x fast and by the time I’m done using the word “bee” there’s nothing left to read. You’ve been warned, look out for this meme. (Oh and if you haven’t actually seen the movie, Jerry Seinfeld is the main bee. Now isn’t that fun!)
7. It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia
This is one of those weird comedy central shows. It’s truly odd, but could make you laugh.
8. Alice Through The Looking Glass
I actually managed to see this one in theaters and let me tell you, it doesn’t disappoint. It’s like a sequel to the Alice in Wonderland series that Disney is currently making, or something like that. It’s really good!
Leaving in January
1. Hairspray
Sad to see this classic go. It’s like Netflix thinks they can stop the avalanche or something.
2. Law and Order SVU
Absolutely unforgivable. This is easily the best show ever made (rest easy, they’re only taking season 13 off, but honestly they should be adding rather than dropping.)
3. The Amityville Horror
Let’s face it, Ryan Reynolds is way more attractive when he isn’t possessed (but honestly who’s judging?)
4. Saving Private Ryan
Another sad loss, Tom Hanks did wonders with this one
5. Chopped Collection
There's nothing I love more than food, so it's sad to see this cooking show get chopped from Netflix.
