February will see a host of highly-anticipated movies and TV Shows released by streaming network Netflix. The anticipated Netflix shows will start streaming as early as 2nd February and continue across the month.
Here is your guide to 3 of the best Netflix shows this month
1. Yellowjackets – 14th February
This drama is about the decades-long aftershocks from a high-school soccer team’s plane crash. It is one of the most anticipated Netflix shows. The show returns after such a long gap of almost two years. It has given followers enough refresher courses before another watch, which has come just at the right time. Last season, as if being stranded in the woods and resorting to cannibalism when they were teenage girls wasn’t enough, the adult versions of the characters faced life-or-death horror at the isolated location where Lottie (Simone Kessell) formed a cult. As the adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) says, “Someone wants us dead”.
The back-and-forth in time continues, with the main cast returning, including Lauren Ambrose as the adult Van, Liv Hewson as her younger self, Christina Ricci as adult Misty, always up to something suspicious, and Elijah Wood as Walter, her demented citizen-sleuth colleague. Hilary Swank makes some guest appearances in the present-day timeline. All we know so far is that she is already drenched in blood.
2. Zero Day – 20th February
This political thriller starring Robert De Niro is intriguing and timely. When a cyberattack hits the US, causing devastation and deaths, former president George Mullen (De Niro) is called in to head a commission investigating the source, working against a barrage of problems and forces: big tech, Wall Street, rival political factions and a world of disinformation. Connie Britton plays Mullen’s former chief of staff and Jesse Plemons is a former aide with political ambitions of his own.
Joan Allen plays Mullen’s wife, and Lizzy Caplan their daughter, a member of Congress. The plot deals with the slippery nature of truth itself. “That’s the spine of my character in the show,” De Niro has said. “Don’t dodge anything. Don’t play games. Be honest about what’s going on so that the public knows what’s going on.” Angela Bassett plays the US president in casting that would have landed very differently if the US election had gone another way.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar – 6th February On Popular Netflix Shows
Apple Cider Vinegar is another of popular Netflix Shows that will be coming out this month. In ACV, Kaitlyn Dever, who has been great at comedy (Booksmart) and drama (2019 miniseries Unbelievable), takes on a bit of both in this fictional version of a true story. She plays Belle Gibson, an Australian influencer and con woman, who falsely said she had brain cancer and was curing it with natural ingredients and lifestyle, turning that lie into a financial empire selling apps and cookbooks. The show goes beyond her to include four other women in her orbit.
One of them is under her spell, another becomes a business rival. The series is set in the early 2010s, at the dawn of Instagram, and tackles the rise of social media influencers. You can guess at its appeal. The show seems to echo the Netflix hit Inventing Anna, with Julia Garner as Anna Delvey, who masqueraded as an heiress and was convicted of grand larceny and theft of services for her cons.
