Netflix is fuller every month with all kinds of films and series. April also comes with a nice shopping basket. Old golden films to a new crime documentary? These films and series are highly recommended this month!
Movies on Netflix
The Maze Runner
This film series may be older, but on April 1, many older films and series were put on Netflix. The Maze Runner is one of those movies you watch on a bored evening. Many people watched the series when it came out, but others have never heard of it. So it’s either a trip back into memory lane, or it’s a completely new experience.
Thomas, our main character, wakes up in an elevator. He remembers nothing except his name. The elevator stops on the top floor. When he gets out he sees some young people with exactly the same story as him. They survive there because the only way to escape is through the maze. During the day the maze is quiet and people look for the right way out. It is wise to get out of the maze before dark. At night the gates close and the strangest animals crawl out of their nests. Will the group and Thomas manage to escape? Does this go without setbacks or is there more going on than you think?
Pared con pared
Pared con pared, also known as Love, divided, is a Spanish rom-com. We can expect this film on Netflix on April 12. A romantic comedy isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like it, this film seems like a good one for your list.
Valentina is a pianist who moves into a new apartment. She decorates her apartment beautifully, with her piano as the centerpiece. As a pianist it is important to play and practice regularly. One downside to the apartment she bought; the walls are quite thin. So the sound of her piano flies to the ears of the neighbor, David. David is an inventor who likes to work in silence. Because the walls are so thin, David has no problem telling his complaints through the wall. How does this end? Is this a classic example of enemies to lovers or is there more to it?
Series on Netflix
Baby reindeer
This series is based on a play of the same name and can be seen on Netflix from April 11. This miniseries has eight episodes, all around thirty minutes. The main genres are drama and thriller, so if you don’t like those, it’s better if you go to the next one.
Donny is a comedian who earns little money from his work. During one of his shows, he starts flirting with a woman in the audience as a joke. The joke works well on stage and in the audience, but it also comes into play in his private life. This flirting turns into an obsession. This obsession is different than just watching videos in your bedroom. It turns out to be getting worse, which is possibly life-destroying for both Donny and the woman.
Dead boy detectives
This series is based on a DC Comics comic book. We will see this film adaptation on screen on April 25. Dead Boy Detectives has a bit of everything. Besides being concerned with the supernatural, there is also horror and comedy hidden in it. Watching this together with someone who likes completely different series than you is a good option.
Charles and Edwin are two young minds. They died young, but have no plans to go to the afterlife. Instead, they want to make the world a better place by solving strange cases. Of course, they do not do this alone, because how do two minds want to give their information to the world? This involves a clairvoyant, who works as a kind of microphone for the two boys. The cases they solve are impossible for ordinary people, because the supernatural plays a role in them.
Documentaries on Netflix
What Jennifer did
The documentary What Jennifer did is not for the soft-hearted. Everyone can watch the documentary on Netflix on April 10, but we will explain it in advance so that you at least know what it is about.
At first glance, Jennifer’s call to 911 seems “normal.” She sounds shocked because her parents have just been shot during a robbery. It soon becomes apparent that Jennifer knows much more than she lets on. Her parents were both from Vietnam and were convinced that their daughter was the perfect student. Good grades, lots of talent and even a big scholarship. Nothing is less true. Jennifer has been lying all her life to keep her parents happy. What exactly happened here? Was it really a robbery or is there more to it?
Our Living World
The docuseries has nature as its center. On April 17, Cate Blanchett will tell us all about our planet.
From the smallest insect to the king of the jungle, Cate discusses every piece of nature. Our Living World is a party for the earth. It shows the connection between all kinds of areas in nature and makes you amazed at how much we are connected to the animals and other nature around us. It shows one of the most special phenomena in the universe; life.
