Netpicks: Everything coming and going on Netflix for April 2017
Big new originals including "Bill Nye Saves the World" and "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return" anchor Netflix's April.
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
Netflix has a whopping 25 original titles for April. A new comedy special from Louis C.K. is headed to the service early in the month. C.K.'s comedy style might not be for everyone, but everyone's favorite science guy returns, taking on global warming, GMOs, tech and more with "Bill Nye Saves the World."
In non-originals, you should definitely check out "Kubo and the Two Strings." It's a great family film with an excellent story. There's also the 1984 version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street." For some reason, I watched that movie when I was 8 years old. I didn't get a good night's sleep for two weeks after that.
Take a look at the full list below. Titles with an asterisk are not downloadable for offline viewing.
