Best Series and Movies on Netflix - April 2025

The Netflix Logo

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

* Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2025) Movie – Outstanding, Netflix starts off April 2025 with a Bang with this outstanding Movie from acclaimed Director Guy Ritchie, about a Private Mercenary Group hired by the Government to track down and retrieve a mysterious Package that was stolen from a Company. This is a Light Comedy-Action-Spy-Thriller set in Contemporary Times. I knew this was going to be a good Movie the Minute Carl Elwes of the “Princess Bride” Movie Fame showed up in the opening Scenes as an important Part of the Team.

The Movie basically had an All-Star Cast with Jason Statham in his old Action Star self doing amazing Fight Sequences; Aubrey Plaza in perhaps at her funniest that I have seen her on Movie or Series; Hugh Grant is always entertaining while Josh Hartnett did great in a Comedic Role. Overall, this is just a very entertaining Movie with a fast pace that almost has everything in it: Great Action and Twists, Funny at Times, with excellent Characters and good Twists. 

* Jules (2023) Movie – Outstanding, this is basically like the 1982 Movie, “ET” the Extra-Terrestiral”, but instead of Kids, but with old People instead of Kids. It is a Science Fiction Light Comedy-Drama about an Alien Spacecraft that crash landed on the Backyard of an old Man played by the excellent Ben Kingsley and the complications that arose from that Situation. The Movie also tackles “Old People” Issues like Loneliness, Alzheimer’s Disease, etc. Pretty interesting Characters with a good touch of Humor and Quirkiness, one of the better Movies at the start of April 2025.

* Devil May Cry (2025) Season One Animated Series – Highly recommended, this is set in an alternate Reality where Demons coexist with Humans and are being hunted down by Demon Hunters, one of whom turned out to have a deeper connection with them than he initially thought. Although it didn’t seem to have been mentioned, this seems to be set in 1990s in that Timeline also, based on the Technology, Music, Clothing, etc. that was shown.

The Storytelling is pretty good and the Characters are quite interesting, not to mention the good Pacing the excellent Action Scenes. The World-building is also pretty good, delving deep into how the Demons ended up on Earth. The Visuals does seem a bit dated though as other Articles have mentioned, but nevertheless, overall still one of the better Animes this Year of 2025 on Netflix, hence highly recommended. 

* Black Mirror (2025) Season Seven Series – Outstanding, another great Season with a number of very memorable Episodes. This is an Anthology Series very much like “The Twilight Zone”, but is mainly Science Fiction that deals with the negative Effects of Technology on our Every Day Lives. Only six Episodes this Season, but I think half of them deserve an Award and are among the very best Episodes of the Series ever (namely “Common People”, “Bete Noire” and “Eulogy”). One is pretty good (“USS Callister: Into Infinity”) while the remaining two (“Plaything” and “Hotel Reverie”) I think are just average, but still good enough to watch. 

* iHostage (2025) Movie – Outstanding, this is a Suspense-Thriller about a Real-Life Hostage Situation that happened in the Netherlands several Years ago. The Pacing is fast, there a good Number of Twists and the Movie just was able to effectively sustain the suspenseful Aspect of the Event. We also got to see how well-equipped the Netherlands Police is, and how beautiful the iPhone Store that they have there, assuming that is really the Place where it happened. One of the better Movies shown on Netflix this Month of April of 2025.
