Of all of Netflix’s offerings in February, we’re most excited about “Malcolm and Marie,” a black-and-white romantic drama starring Zendaya and John David Washington. They’re both powerhouse young actors, and early reviews
say their chemistry is something to behold. It hits the streaming service on Feb. 5.
For rom-com lovers, the third instalment of the “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” series is out Feb. 12, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
There are some pretty great previous releases hitting Netflix this month, too: the very dark comedy “Bachelorette,” written and director by “Russian Doll” co-creator Leslye Headland (out Feb. 1); Barry Jenkins’ beautiful, lush, underrated “If Beale Street Could Talk,” (Feb. 20) and the ever-popular show “Parks and Recreation” (Feb. 1).
