As we enter the Spring season of February we have many awaited theatrical releases. But, OTT is not behind on the action. Netflix this month like its usual pattern brings a variety of content from the new season of its popular show You to an Indian series that explores the dark side of class disparity in some upmarket schools in the country called Class.
Here is a list of some films and shows to look forward to on Netflix this month:
Class
Releasing on: February 3rd
A storyline similar to ones previously followed in Hindi films like Aamir Khan’s Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar and Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, Class explores the fitting in of 3 middle-class students who make it into an upmarket school populated by kids coming from rich families. How the lifestyle followed by them, clashes with theirs is intriguing but unlike the films mentioned, the show seems to address the darkness in a less glamorized fashion addressing some real issues students face.
You: Season 4 Part 1

The Penn Badgley starrer You has received a lot of attention from Netflix viewers who appreciate a Crime and Psychological thriller like it. Surrounding a man who follows a history of stalking and obsessing over his romantic interests, the show continues to keep the fans on edge and wanting more!
Your Place or Mine

Starring the greats Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher and others, Your Place or Mine is a much-needed rom-com break in the midst of Crime dramas.
