My Watchable to Best Series and Movies on Netflix for the Month of February 2026

Here are the what I think are the "at least watchable" to the Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of February 2026:

* Hightown (2020) Seasons One to Three Series – Above average, this is an Adult, Sexy Crime Drama about a Woman Law Enforcer who got involved in her Town’s Drug Problems after the Murder of an Informant.

SEASON ONE: The great Characterizations and great Charisma of some of the Actors and Actresses are some of the main Reasons why I ended up watching it and actually finishing the Season. The Storylines are also interesting, but are a bit of a slow burn at some Spots. Another Factor that makes this Series interesting to watch is its “Mature Content”, which is typical of an original Starz Network Production.

For this Season One, I estimate that the Series averaged at least two Sex Scenes per Episode. Also typical of a Starz Production though is that it also big in Terms of the Lesbian-Gay-Bi-Trans (LGBT) Content, with the Lead Character herself being a Lesbian and the Town also being quite welcoming to the LGBT Community. The Way some of the Topics like Drug Addiction are a bit depressing to watch, but still one of the more interesting Series that Netflix managed to get from Starz.

SEASON TWO: The Story continues as some old Characters were lost, new Characters introduced and minor Characters upgraded to major ones in the new Season. Noticeably there is much less Sex Scenes this Season, but they more than made up for it with more Twists and Turns. This has got to be one of the better Crime Dramas I have seen recently, with the Characters so well written we can see and empathize with their own Personal Struggles. But again, there are some slow Spots which others might not like very much. But for me, this second Season is about as good as the first, Above Average.

SEASON THREE: Again, some Characters lost or became minor ones, others “graduated” into getting more Screen Time and new Characters introduced. I did notice that the Sex Scenes made a bit of a Comeback, much more than on Season Two but not as much as Season One. This Final Season is around 30% shorter than the first two, and I felt that they was still enough Material to work with for them to make at least another Season, but for some Reason it ended up being cancelled. I have to say that this is one of the Best Crime Dramas I have seen on Netflix since “Ozark”, it really makes you feel invested in the Characters. Too bad it ended, but who knows, if it does well enough on Netflix then we may see at least another Season of this excellent Series.

* Queen of Chess (2026) Documentary Movie – Outstanding, I was eagerly waiting for this Movie ever since I saw it’s Trailer a Month or so ago because I was a big Fan of the 2020 Hit Series, “The Queen’s Gambit” this is basically sort of a real Life Version of that. This Movie in a mainly Autobiographical Documentary of Judit Polgar, considered as the greatest Woman Chess Player of all time as of now because of her Accomplishments of being the only Woman to have reached the Top 10 Chess Players of the World, and the only Woman to have beaten a Number One ranked Chess Player during her time.

Judit was active from the 1990s to near the mid-2010s, and was a Product of an Experiment by her Father to develop “Geniuses”, with her two other Sisters also ending up as accomplished Chess Players. There was also a lot of Focus on her Professional Relationship with with Gary Kasparov, the World’s Number One Chess Player during her time. Lots of nice archival Footages, and also a lot of Interviews of Judit, Gary and a lot of other Personalities that were close to Judit like Friends, Families, etc. I’m glad that this one lived up to my Expectations of it. 

* Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (2026) Documentary Series – Above Average, this is a Behind the Scenes look of what used to be a Worldwide Cultural Phenomenon, a Reality Series that was looking for Girls who could end up with a Professional Modeling Career, as told by the Hosts and the Creative Force behind it. I liked it when they looked back at the Highlights, Controversies of the Series, but what sort of ruined it for me was when they started apologizing for almost each and every Controversy because it offended the Woke Sensibilities of today.

It was a Reality Show, and of course they were constantly playing Things up for the Audience. This is was the Norm back in the Day when Reality Shows were King, it was just the Way it was and most Shows were even worse than this one. I also didn’t like it when some of the Girls started blaming the Show too much, I felt they were being quite ungrateful. For a vast Majority of them, this Series was the Highlight of their Lives, it was as good as it ever got IMHO whether they liked it or not. Anyway, I thought this Documentary could’ve really been great, but it just ended up being bashed by the Woke Culture.

* I.S.S. (2023) Movie – Good enough to watch, this is a Thriller set onboard the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting the Earth where six American and Russian Astronauts were forced to go up against each other when their Countries go into a Nuclear War and each Side was ordered to take control of the Station. This is a fairly good Thriller, with a good amount of unpredictability and with some good Twists. But it is a bit claustrophobic and bland since the ISS Setting was not very large and with a simple Layout. There are also some slow Spots which made a Story feel like a Slow Burn, despite the Movie being only one and half hours long. Still, there are enough Elements to make it at least watchable and enabled me to finish the Movie.

* Roofman (2025) Movie – Outstanding, this Movie is based in Real Life and is a Comedy-Drama about a Man who went into Prison for holding up various small Establishments, escaped from Prison, and ended up hiding inside a “Toys R Us” Department Store for a good Deal of time. Channing Tatum really did a great Job here in carrying much of the Movie, and Peter Dinklage of the “Game of Thrones” Series did an excellent Job in providing a complementary Role in Terms of the Comedy Aspect of the Movie. There are some slow Spots, but I felt it made up for it because of its outstanding End Part. One of the better Movies on Netflix for February 2026.

* Caught Stealing (2025) Movie – Outstanding, I knew nothing about this Film when I watched it, it was only in the End Credits that I learned it was directed by Darren Aronofsky, and my Reaction was, “No Wonder it was so Good”. This is a Black Comedy-Thriller about an ordinary Guy who somehow got himself involved with the Mexican, Jewish and Russian Mafias, and with a Dirty Cop. What makes this Movie great are the interesting Twists and memorable Characters. I recognized Vincent D’Onofrio only later in the Movie, and I didn’t even know Liv Schreiber was in it until the End Credits as both were almost unrecognizable in their Roles. This Film is another “Feather in the Hat” for Aronofsky, one of the better Directors in Hollywood right now. Pair him with a good Screenplay that is based on a successful Novel and you have a Recipe for Greatness. A Must-See Movie, another good one on Netflix for the Month of February 2026. 

My Watchable to Best Series and Movies on Netflix for the Month of January 2026

Here are the what I think are the "at least watchable" to the Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of January 2026:

* Stranger Things (2025) Series Finale – Outstanding, lived up to my Expectations and I think very worthy of being the fitting End to a Worldwide Cultural Phenomenon, and one of Netflix’s Flagship Shows. Lots of Thrills and nice Twists, lots of Heart and the Special Effects were easily the equivalent of any major Hollywood Movie out there, and it is basically a Movie of its own with its over two hour long running time. I particularly like the End Scenes as for me it showed the Main Characters not only saying goodbye to the Series, but also their Childhood and Innocence as they moved on to Adulthood. It’s bittersweet seeing this Series end, but at least it went on its own Terms, and while it was still Popular and People were still willing to watch it.

* Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story (2026) Documentary Movie – Outstanding, this is about a Therapist, Life Coach and Social Media Influencer of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Sect, more popularly known as the Mormons, in the United States (US) who ended up physically and mentally abusing in secret the Children of her close Business Partner. This was only discovered after one of the Children escaped and was able to call the Cops. The Documentary also shows an Insight of the Religious Beliefs and Practices of the Mormon Church, as well as show the Rise of Fall of Hildebrandt who as pretty successful in her own Right, up until the discovery the abuse she was doing. Again, just another of the excellent and fascinating Documentaries on Netflix.

3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object may be manifesting Alien Technology Signature which we don’t understand yet thru its three Mini-Jets

Original Image by Tony Scarmato from Dr. Avi Loeb's Blog

A Photo of the 3I/ATLAS Interstellar Object taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and processed thru a "Larson-Sekanina Rotational Gradient Filter" was posted by Dr. Avi Loeb on his Blog recently. The Photo shows the Object with three perfectly asymmetrical Jets coming out of it, at 120 degrees of each other around the Core. 

This looks suspiciously very “unnatural” to me, and looks very much like a Technological Signature or Technosignature of something that is not made by Mankind. But the Problem is that if it is one, we do not know the Practical Purpose of such a Series of Jets, we don’t know why it was made like this simply because we have not done anything like it before. 

That is one Problem with some Extraterrestrial Technosignatures, we might not necessarily know it when we see it because we don’t understand it yet. Hence at this Point we are unable to determine conclusively that this is indeed an Alien Technosignature. 

If 3I/ATLAS had manifested something that we do understand, like Artificial Lights, for Example, then of course we could easily say it is a Technosignature since we do understand that one. Anyway, here’s hoping that the Object will manifest more such Signatures before it passes Jupiter a couple of Months from now.

Best Series and Movies on Netflix - December 2025

Here are what I think are the at least watchable to Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of December 2025:

* The Abandons (2025) Season One Series – Outstanding, Series and Movies set in the “Old West” in the United States (US) tend to do well on Netflix, partly because of the Mystique of that Era, and partly because Netflix is able to get good Creative Teams for it, and this is no Exception. This is a Drama-Thriller about four Middle-class Families fighting against one rich Family over Territory in the mid-1800s. The Pacing is pretty good, but there are still some slow spots here and there, but somehow the Creative Team is able to find Twists to snap the Story into its decent Pace.

Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as expected were great as the strong, Matriarchal Heads of their Factions, and their Conflict is one of the main Drivers of the Plot. The Supporting Cast also did very well to support those two main Characters. The Showrunner of this Series, Kurt Sutter previously was involved behind the Hit Television Shows “The Shield” and “Sons of Anarchy”, and this one very much lives up to the Tradition of those two great Shows. The first really good Series on Netflix for the Month of December 2025.

Best Series and Movies on Netflix - November 2025

Here are what I think are the at least watchable to Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of November 2025:

* Frankenstein (2025) Movie – Outstanding, Netflix always tries to start each Month with a strong Movie, and it does so again with this one. This is based on a very old, Classic Novel set in the 1800s about a Man who successfully created on his own a Sentient Lifeform, but now has to struggle with the Consequences of that Creation. This Movie now for me is definitely one of Director Guillermo Del Toro’s very best works, up there with “Hellboy: The Golden Army”. Oscar Isaac is great as the unlikeable Genius while Jacob Elordi shone as the pitiful Monster who is just trying to find his Place in this World. Put thesd together with the excellent Storytelling and Cinematography of Del Toro and the big Budget provided by Netflix and you have a new, Modern Classic, a Must-Watch Movie for me. It is a bit long though at around two and half hours, so it took me a couple of sitting to finish this one. But it was very much well worth it.

* Death by Lightning (2025) Limited Series – Outstanding, this is a Black Comedy-Drama about one of the United States’ (US) Presidents, James Garfield who in the late 1800s was assassinated. The Series follows his remarkable rise in Politics where he became a Presidential Nominee mainly because of a single Speech, all the Way to the last Days of his Presidency. It shows the Rough Nature of US Politics even back in those Days. Michael Shannon as Garfield was great as usual, with the added Bonus of seeing him play not as a Villain for once but actually the Good Guy. Very informative, and the Comedic Nature of the Movie in some Spots helped a lot in making it interesting to watch.

My only complaint is that initially I had trouble following who was what, and what was being said because some of the Words used were old and unfamiliar. Garfield’s Speech was also spoken in the old English Way so it was not easy to understand. I had to resort to turning on the English Subtitles which helped a lot in solving those Issues. Very Informative of what went on in those Days, and great Visuals also of how the major US Cities looked like in the 1800s. The Series Title by the Way is derived from a somewhat Prophetic Remark by Garfield himself who said that Assassination Attempts were unpredictable and unavoidable Events that were similar to “Death by Lightning”.

Best Series and Movies on Netflix - October 2025

Here are what I think are the at least watchable to Best Series and Movies that I watched on Netflix for the Month of October 2025:

* Blackberry (2023) Movie – Outstanding, this is a Biographical Drama Comedy about the Rise and Fall of the American Company,  “Research in Motion (RIM)” whose most famous and successful Product was the “Blackberry” Phone in the 1990s and 2000s. Anybody who grew before and around that time knows how big the Company used to be, and this Movie gives a more complete Picture of what happened to it. It is a bit of a Tragedy to see how far they have fallen since then, but then again one could say they at least made it big. The Pacing, Storytelling, Characterizations all were very good, resulting in a very watchable Movie with excellent Portrayals by the main Actors. Another good start for the Month for Netflix, who seem to put some of the Best Movies they could get their Hands on at the beginning of each Month.

* The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Movie – Good enough to Watch, this Movie was hyped a lot before its release, maybe because Keira Knightley starred in it, but ultimately it just didn’t live up to Expectations. This is a Murder Mystery Thriller set almost throughout the Movie onboard an expensive Yacht, and despite it only being one and a half hours long, the Pacing seemed still too slow as not much interesting was happening onscreen. Most of the Plot was sort of predictable, it just turned out to be a pretty mediocre Movie overall, good enough if nothing better is around.

Still no Tail on 3I/ATLAS after passing close to the Sun, unlike C/2025 A6 Lemmon Comet; Also now accelerating on its own

Comparison of the real Comet Lemmon and 3I/ATLAS, Credits of the original Photos in the Article below

The Theoretical Physicist Avi Loeb in his latest Blog that the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS still has not shown a clear Tail like what real Comets should look like after passing close to the Sun. This is based on the Photo taken by the R. Naves Observatory last November 5, 2025. 

This is very unusual because if 3I/ATLAS really was a Comet composed primarily of Ice and Dust, then after passing close to the Sun it would've heated up enough to release most of the Gasses it had trapped in the Ice and form a Tail.
