XO, Kitty dropped yesterday, which means you're not behind yet. Bloodhounds Season 2 landed this morning, so the Korean action crowd has something to work through too.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is still sitting at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and most people still haven't watched it, which feels like a problem worth fixing this weekend.
And if you're the type who likes to have something on while you're doing other things, St. Denis Medical just hit the platform for the first time (eighteen episodes of an NBC mockumentary that critics compared to The Office and Abbott Elementary, all at once).
Here are ten things on Netflix right now worth your time.
XO, Kitty Season 3
Netflix Series | Dropped April 2
It dropped yesterday, which means you are not behind. Anna Cathcart returns as Kitty Song-Covey for her senior year at KISS in Seoul, and this season reportedly delivers on everything Season 2 set up — more Min Ho, Lana Condor back as Lara Jean in a guest appearance, and critics calling it the best season yet. If you've been meaning to start this one, the timing is perfect.
Bloodhounds Season 2
Netflix Series | Dropped April 3
Dropped today. The Korean action thriller returns with Kim Geon-woo back in the ring and the loan shark underworld messier than ever. Season 1 built a devoted audience on the strength of its fight choreography and genuine stakes. No critical consensus yet, but if you burned through Season 1, this is your weekend.
St. Denis Medical
NBC Series | New to Netflix
The NBC mockumentary sitcom that critics called a tart, well-cast addition to the genre just landed on Netflix. Wendi McLendon-Covey leads a staff of overworked doctors and nurses at an underfunded Oregon hospital. It holds an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and draws inevitable comparisons to The Office and Abbott Elementary. Not quite either of them. Still very good.
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen
Netflix Series | Dropped March 26
The Duffer Brothers' first project after Stranger Things is a horror limited series from Haley Z. Boston (Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities). Camila Morrone plays a woman convinced that her upcoming wedding is headed somewhere dark, and the eight episodes follow the week leading up to it. Baby Reindeer director Weronika Tofilska helmed two episodes. Holds an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics calling it atmospheric horror that earns its dread.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Film | Dropped March 20
Four years after the series finale, Tommy Shelby is back. It's WWII now, which means the stakes got considerably higher than Birmingham gang turf wars. Cillian Murphy, fresh off his Oscar for Oppenheimer, returns to the role that made him a household name. Creator Steven Knight wrote the film specifically as a cinematic continuation, not a cash-grab epilogue. Holds a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Someone has probably already spoiled it for you. Watch it anyway.
Anaconda
Netflix Film | Dropped March 25
Jack Black and Paul Rudd play childhood friends who travel to the Amazon to remake their favorite movie — the original 1997 Anaconda — and then a real giant anaconda shows up. It made $135 million at the box office on a $45 million budget, critics gave it 48% on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences gave it a 75%. The math is obvious: critics didn't love it, and nobody cared.
Vladimir
Limited Series | Dropped March 5
Rachel Weisz plays a college professor who becomes dangerously fixated on a younger colleague, and the whole thing unravels from there. Based on Julia May Jonas's acclaimed novel, it's sharp, uncomfortable, and intentionally provocative. The kind of limited series that exists specifically to make you argue about it afterward.
Anatomy of a Fall
Film | New to Netflix
If you skipped this during its Oscar run, you made a mistake, and now you can correct it. Holds a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sandra Hüller and director Justine Triet are operating at peak power. One of the best films of the decade so far, now finally streamable.
The Plastic Detox
Documentary | Dropped March 16
This documentary follows six couples who embark on a plastic detox within their homes, examining what microplastics are doing to our health — from hormone disruption to increasing rates of cancer, early heart attack, and stroke. Directed by Louie Psihoyos, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind The Cove. You will look at a water bottle differently by the time it's over.
American Gangster
Film | New to Netflix
Ridley Scott's 2007 crime epic is now on the platform. Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas, building a heroin empire in 1970s Harlem. Russell Crowe as the detective trying to bring it down. Holds an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. A Sunday night movie if there ever was one.
