“Netflix and Chill” isn’t just a hashtag. It’s a February lifestyle. AwardsDaily TV offers some higher profile February titles for your mass consumption.

February is the month to officially “Netflix and Chill.” Granted, for the past few years, we’ve been accustomed to the Emmy-winning drama House of Cards dropping. Alas, they’re taking extra time this year and won’t premiere until later in the year. Still, you’ve got a few nice options to keep you warm in these cold winter months.

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson

You know what this is, and, if you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance. Or maybe you want to see it again. We fully support and encourage that.

Santa Clarita Diet (February 3)

Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) are husband and wife realtors leading vaguely discontented lives in the L.A. suburb of Santa Clarita with their teenaged daughter Abby, until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction…but in a good way.

Santa Clarita Diet stars Drew Barrymore as Sheila Hammond, Timothy Olyphant as Joel Hammond, Liv Hewson as Abby Hammond and Skyler Gisondo as Eric Bemis.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 (February 11)

Binge the 13-episode second season of the critically acclaimed Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The second season offers surprising moments from the cast, an unexpected departure, and a deepening of the characters in unusual and interesting ways.

White Nights (February 14)

This is not the 1985 dance drama with Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. And it’s worse-off for it. Instead, a coldhearted heiress, a man from her past and an ambitious new hire in her company all become entangled on a battleground for money and power. TBD on the dancing…

Accompanied by her obnoxious martial-arts-enthusiast neighbor Tony (Elijah Wood), they soon find themselves dangerously out of their depth against a pack of degenerate criminals.

The film was produced by XYZ Films and filmscience.

Netflix January

The New Year is upon us, and Netflix January titles bring a few new potential gems.

After a failed film adaptation starring Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep, A Series of Unfortunate Events tries a reboot of sorts. Starring Neil Patrick Harris, the new series is but one of a new promising Netflix January titles we’re excited about. Norman Lear executive produces a return to his 1970s classic One Day at a Time. The timely update focuses on a Cuban-American family and stars Rita Moreno. If neither of these two Netflix January titles excites you, then try Voltron: Legendary Defender because, yeah, some people haven’t moved on from the 80’s.

Here’s the full roster of notable Netflix January titles and descriptions, courtesy of Netflix.

One Day at a Time

A reimagining of the Norman Lear classic, centering on a Cuban-American family. Our heroine is a recently separated, former military mom (Justina Machado) navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom (Rita Moreno) and a friends- without-benefits building manager named Schneider. The 13-episode first season of One Day at a Time is produced by Act III Productions, Inc., Snowpants Productions and Small Fish Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television. Norman Lear, Mike Royce, Gloria Calderón Kellett and Michael Garcia are executive producers.

Jim Gaffigan: Cinco

We’re Lalaloopsy

Viewers will follow the incredible misadventures of six friends and their pets through a whimsical world. By celebrating the magic of creativity, these friends can weather anything together.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Netflix December

Pacific Heat

Pacific Heat is an animated comedy series based on the exploits of a dynamic unit of undercover police investigators working on the glitzy “Gold Coast” of Australia. This glamorous, sophisticated, and sun-drenched paradise masks a hot-bed of crime; everyone from drug smugglers and biker gangs to eco-terrorists and the person who invented frozen yogurt. In order to tackle this seedy underbelly police authorities established “PacificHeat.”

This covert squad of highly trained operatives technically does not exist (although they do have their own Facebook page), but when criminals strike, Pacific Heat will be there; unconventional, uncompromising and unafraid to operate outside the law – provided at least one of them is wearing a fluorescent safety vest. PacificHeat was created by the award-winning Working Dog team of Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch.

Reggie Watts: Spatial

Comedian/musician Reggie Watts brings viewers along on a one-of-a-kind surrealist experimental comedy adventure. The completely improvised show weaves together sketches, short stories, and dream sequences creating a truly unique experience. Filmed live on a soundstage in Los Angeles, Watts waxes poetic about flight, grits, and guns – and takes the audience on a trip fantastic they will not soon forget.

Captive

From the highest profile cases to those kept hidden from the public, comes a new docu-series from acclaimed executive producer Doug Liman and producers Simon and Jonathan Chinn. The producers of Captive have gained privileged access to the most challenging negotiations of our time — revealing how hostage-taking, and the efforts to resolve it, have evolved to address an escalating international trend. The episodes look at a wide range of situations from the viewpoint of everyone involved: the victims and their families back home, the experienced negotiators, business leaders, government officials and the kidnappers themselves.

Fuller House, Season 2

Returning for its second season, the Tanner family experiences a new year of life’s moments big and small from the start of a new school year, to budding romances to coming together for the holidays. There’s nothing like spending Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with the people you love, because life is fuller with family.

White Rabbit Project

In White Rabbit Project, Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara head down the rabbit hole to investigate weird and wonderful events from pop culture, science and history. Under their microscope are topics as diverse as jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists and crazy world war two weapons. In each episode the hosts immerse themselves in experiments, builds and tests as they sleuth the truth behind these and other well googled themes.

The series is also produced by David Alpert (The Walking Dead) and Rick Jacobs (Wynona Earp) for Circle of Confusion, David Ozer and Ted Adams for IDW Entertainment and Arvind Ethan David and Zainir Aminullah for Ideate Media.

Barry

A young Barack Obama, known to his friends as “Barry,” arrives in New York City in the fall of 1981 to begin his junior year at Columbia University. In a crime-ridden and racially charged environment, Barry finds himself pulled between various social spheres and struggles to maintain a series of increasingly strained relationships with his Kansas-born mother, his estranged Kenyan father, and his classmates. Barry is the story of a young man grappling with those same issues that his country, and arguably the world, are still coming to terms with 35 years later.

Call me Francis

Call Me Francis, is a 4 part biographical miniseries that chronicles Pope Francis’ life, his controversial political leanings, his remarkable humanitarian work and his ascent to Papacy starring Rodrigo de la Serna, Mercedes Morán and Muriel Santa Ana.

The miniseries opens with Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s early years in Buenos Aires in the 1960’s and depicts his journey through the height of Argentina’s “Dirty Wars” during the 70’s and 80’s, culminating in his appointment as Pope Francis, the first Latin American Pope in history, in 2013.

From Paris to Italy and even down under in Australia, this group’s fan-damonium reaches a fever pitch.

Black Mirror

Now that summer is over, it’s time for some scares. You’d think that Netflix would have a bevy of new spooky stories coming down the pike, but there’s not as many as you’d imagine coming this month. Make sure you have some horror movies and specials stocked at home, because Netflix October is a bit disappointing in the horror department on the streaming service.

In addition to some beloved classics movies (Titanic, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Quiz Show all hit this month), the most anticipated titles include the third season of Black Mirror and the latest offering from Christopher Guest, Mascots. Following the highly competitive world of “sports mascotery,” the mockumentary brings back Guest favorites Parker Posey, Bob Balaban, Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard, and Harry Shearer. Catherine O’Hara will be missed this time around.

September Netflix

September Netflix offerings include Luke Cage, the latest Marvel series

September Netflix offerings range from the “can’t miss” (Narcos Season 2) to the “just can’t” (don’t beat me up Luke Cage). All kidding aside, this month in the streaming giant provides a fairly robust variety of television to satisfy almost every palate. Take a look at a few of the more significant September Netflix offerings. These should keep you set until October brings Mascots.

Narcos Season 2 (September 2)

Netflix tried very hard to get the Television Academy excited about its critically acclaimed drug series, but some things were not meant to be. Still, Narcos provides high quality entertainment (because there’s not enough out there, right? *wink wink nudge nudge*), and Season 2 looks of similar quality.

 

ARQ (September 16)

I haven’t heard of this film, but here’s Netflix’s description: In a dystopian future, an engineer trapped in a house and surrounded by a mysterious gang of masked intruders must protect a technology that could deliver unlimited energy and end the wars that have consumed the world. Ok. When is Stranger Things coming back?

Easy Season 1 (September 22)

Easy is an anthology series not currently produced by Ryan Murphy. That not enough to entice you? It stars Orlando Bloom, Malin Akerman, Jake Johnson, Marc Maron, Dave Franco, Hannibal Buress, Emily Ratajkowski, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Aya Cash and Elizabeth Reaser. The 8-episode series brings Chicago to life with a story about “love, sex, technology and culture.” It also hails from Joe Swanberg (Drinking BuddiesV/H/S). This one feels like a Megan McLachlan special.

 

Luke Cage Season 1 (September 30)

Luke Cage puts Jessica Jones’s fuck buddy into his own TV show. I’m sure there are Marvel people out there who clutched their pearls at my description of this show. Such is life. Luke Cage stars Mike Colter at the titular indestructible man. Sorry but this feels a little like something we have to slog through to get to The Defenders, but I could be 100 percent wrong about this. Still, the trailer doesn’t provide much evidence to the contrary.

And the best of the rest…

Johnny Depp as Donald Trump and Baz Luhrmann’s new series highlight the Netflix August lineup

August brings a slow end to the long, hot summer. In addition, the Netflix August offerings are frankly slim pickings, which brings little comfort to those who choose to be shut-ins. Most noteworthy, Baz Luhrmann’s (Moulin Rouge!) highly anticipated musical drama The Get Down finally premieres. Multiple rumors (production delays! most expensive show ever!) plagued the production, but Lurhmann’s recent appearance at TCA seemed to calm the waters slightly. The series is no doubt ambitious. It is described as “a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco — told through the lives and music of the South Bronx kids who changed the city and the world … forever.”

Netflix will unveil six episodes of the 12-run first season on August 12.

Also premiering in August is Funny or Die’s surprise Emmy nominee Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal. Johnny Depp plays Donald Trump. That is all you need to know. Check that out August 1 if you haven’t seen it already.

Here are the rest of the Netflix August lineup.

80s tunes

Stranger Things lovingly recreates an era through memorable 80s tunes

There are many wonderful things to praise in Netflix’s newest obsessive series Stranger Things. The Spielbergian themes layered with vaguely Michael Mann-inspired cinematography. The pack of kids straight out of The Goonies. Winona Ryder. We here at AwardsDaily TV have made this homage to the Sci-Fi / horror cinema and literature of the 1980s our newest obsession. We’ll publish a review of the entire series in the coming week. We didn’t want to rush it. We wanted to take our time and luxuriate in the 80s goodness. But here’s a heads up: one of Stranger Things greatest assets is a robust and lovingly selected series of 80s tunes (even though many songs hail from the late 60s).

Some of these are more standard selections. Some are unsung gems. One thing is clear: someone at Netflix missed a big opportunity to dish out a sure fire oldies soundtrack a la Guardians of the Galaxy a few years back. Since we’re lacking a single consolidated soundtrack, there are a few ways to recreate the sound and fury of the series 80s tunes yourself. Update: according to the LAist, the Stranger Things soundtrack will see the light of day as an official compilation.

There is at least one Spotify listing assembled here if you don’t already own the songs yourself. But if you already have a robust collection of 80s tunes, then here’s the full soundtrack listing episode by episode.
