15 Facts About What's Streaming In April On Netflix

Another month, another glut of films and TV shows exploding onto your screen like God’s proverbial flood, but created solely and exclusively to wash your brain clean. Is The Circle worth watching? Who cares, you’re going to watch. Is this brainwashing? Maybe, but if your parents have an opiate dispenser it’s hard to say no.

From serial killers to game show hosts, April’s got a ton of what-passes-for-fun shows and very little video games, but somehow surprisingly not new video games, which seems more appropriate for the ship-you-DVDs store. But! Also not on the list — Marvel stuff which has finally started moving back to Disney+ and Spider-Man: No Way Home which famously called Netflix streaming’s “Staten Island” — a place that is much cooler, much more expensive, and much less culturally powerful as a concept than it used to be — before moving to Starz.

Here are some of the interesting, bad, weird things being added to Netflix this month. Not mentioned, sadly? Your last relationship, despite the fact that you use your ex’s account to send them coded messages using different shows, begging them to take you back. Maybe that’s next month?
