After a reasonably quiet start to 2018 Netflix is just about starting to pick up the momentum with its February releases.
Sure, there’s not a vast amount of new content available, but there are some gems.
In terms of originals, Netflix is heavily promoting its new series Altered Carbon. Based on a 2002 sci-fi novel by Richard Morgan, the cyberpunk series is set in the far future.
Humans have left Earth and left the notion of mortality with them. In this future reality, humans are beings of consciousness. They get transplanted into new bodies every time the old one wears out.
The story of the series sees a private investigator attempting to solve the murder of his last body. If you enjoyed the Oscar-nominated Bladerunner 2049 this one might be right up your street.
Netflix is also working hard to promote its remake of the 2003 series, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. The series revolves around gay men giving makeovers to their straight counterparts.
