Netflix adds a few noteworthy shows and movies in September.
On Sept. 1, movies such as “American Psycho,” “Mystic River,” “Stripes” and “Superbad” join the service. Netflix also adds the second and third “Lord of the Rings” movies, but I feel like those are coming and going from the platform every few months.
I’m looking forward to a few Netflix Originals this month, with the movie revival of Zach Galifianakis’ “Between Two Ferns” standing out. Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show, “The Spy,” and Ryan Murphy’s new show, “The Politician,” both look promising. I’ll also be watching the return of the docuseries “Abstract: The Art of Design.” The underwhelming but popular Matt Groening animated show “Disenchantment” returns as well.
Movies leaving the service on Sept. 1 include “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “A Clockwork Orange,” “Magic Mike” and “The Hangover.” The Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movies also depart. Most affecting to my life will be the exit of “Portlandia,” a show I often watch before bed.
Netflix giveth and Netflix taketh away.
