The first month of the year brought with it a slew of incredible offerings such as the final season of Bojack Horseman , the return of Sex Education , Vir Das’ new special For India , and so on, that started off 2020 on the right note. Even with slight disappointments like Ghost Stories and the Dracula reboot, it was an enjoyable month of binge-watching, leading into February that is headlined by Adam Sandler’s critically-acclaimed Uncut Gems.
Though not as content-heavy as January, this month also brings with it plenty to love for fans of romedy, as it’s Valentine’s Day soon after all! Apart from the release of the much-anticipated To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (the sequel to the smash hit To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before ), there are also other long-time favourites such as Little Things, The Kissing Booth, When We First Met , etc to comfort-watch... with a loved one or not.

With the Oscars set to arrive on February, there’s plenty of catching up to do for those who have missed out on nominated titles such as Marriage Story, The Irishman, Klaus and The Two Popes.
A still from ‘The Two Popes’
But if neither of these work, then here are some picks among the new stuff: The Pharmacist is an original docu-series that follows a small-town pharmacist who ends up exposing the opioid epidemic, Who Killed Malcom X? reignites the case decades after the assassination of African American leader Malcolm X, the third season of The Chef Show marks the return of Jon Favreau and Roy Choi at their good-natured best, while Sundance drama-thriller Horse Girl , directed by Jeff Baena (she co-wrote the screenplay with star Alison Brie), is another hotly-anticipated affair.
Taj Mahal 1989 and Amit Tandon: Family Tandoncies are exciting Indian viewers as well, but let’s face it, can anything compare to the hype around the new Pokemon movie? But no, it doesn’t take after the super-realistic style of animation that made Ryan Reynolds’ Detective Pikachu such a big hit internationally. Rather, it’s a remake of 1998’s cartoon film Pokemon: The First Movie , and has been titled Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, and follows a completely CGI style of animation.
Here is the complete list of new Netflix titles releasing in February 2020:
