Traditionally, February is a bit quieter than other months when it comes to new Netflix Releases.

Chronically Metropolitan
Chronically Metropolitan is a comedy-drama that follows the life of a novelist, Fenton, as he tries to win back his lost love, Jesse.

Camp X

Hunters Of The South Seas
Everything you need to know about Hunters of the South Seas is neatly encapsulated in the title. This BBC documentary show explores how whale hunters, ocean traders, and fishermen spend their life at sea. Writer Will Millard explores the communities of the Western Pacific and the Coral Triangle.
Reviews for this show were glowing. Ellen Jones, a reviewer for the Independent, wrote, "For once the host actually knew what he was talking about." If you want to watch Hunters of the South Seas, do so before it leaves on February 1st.
Revolting Rhymes
In 2016, a series of short films mirrored the children's book by Roald Dahl called Revolting Rhymes. All three parts were combined to form a movie by the same name. In 2018, Revolting Rhymes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and won the British Academy Children's Award for Best Animation.
The film takes classic fairytales--including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Snow White--and combines them all to create a clever twist. Revolting Rhymes is a fun movie that kids will enjoy, but it'll leave Netflix when February rolls around.
The Pyramid Code
The Pyramid Code is a documentary series all about the Egyptian pyramids. Throughout the series' five episodes, experts explore evidence to learn how the ancients build the pyramids. The construction has baffled scientists for hundreds of years.
At one point, The Pyramid Code rose to number two on the Bestsellers list on Amazon. But on February 8th, it will disappear from Netflix. If you're interested in the history of the pyramids, turn on The Pyramid Code before it vanishes.
Operation Gold Rush
Despite its name, Operation Gold Rush isn't about any historical gold rushes. Instead, the host Dan Snow explores the Canadian wilderness for gold. Snow follows the last gold rush of the 19th century from the Alaskan coast to the Canadian arctic. In essence, it's a real-life gold rush.
The mini-series has one season and only three episodes, but it's fascinating. Operation Gold Rush only streams on Netflix, and once January leaves, it'll be gone. If you want to watch it, now is your chance.
Spartacus
Those interested in Ancient Rome may want to watch the show Spartacus before it leaves Netflix. The historical fiction story is based on Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who leads a slave revolt against the Roman Republic. In the show, writers explore the obscure details of Spartacus's early life as well as the uprising.
As a whole, Spartacus has three seasons totaling 39 episodes. If you miss the show on Netflix, it'll still be available on Sling TV, Starz, and YouTube. But you may want to start it soon if you're interested.
The Lizzie Borden Chronicles
The Lizzie Borden Chronicles aired in 2015 as a sequel to the film, Lizzie Borden Took an Ax. The show is a historical fiction story about the gruesome deaths of the Borden father and stepmother. In the show, Lizzie is acquitted of the slayings and joins her sister, Emma, to start a new life.
Lizzie Borden was a real American woman who was tried for murder in August 1892. However, the show is mostly speculative and replaces the unknown pieces of Lizzie's life with fiction. Still, it's an interesting show that will leave Netflix in February.
Yoko
Yoko began as a Russian-Spanish kids' show, but it now airs in over 60 countries around the world. The story follows a magical creature named Yoko as she plays with her friends outdoors. All 52 episodes will depart from Netflix when January ends.
Yoko takes children's' games and turns them into adventures. The show has won many awards since it was released in 2015. Although it is available to stream on other platforms, Netflix will no longer host the show.
The Bomb Squad
The Bomb Squad is a documentary series that follows a British bomb disposal team into the war in Afghanistan. The mini-series only has two episodes that run for 52 minutes each. But if you're interested in modern warfare and technology, this 2011 series might be worth a look.
On February 1st, The Bomb Squad will no longer be on Netflix. Currently, the show does not appear on any other streaming service, but you can find the episodes on YouTube. It may be an underrated show, but it's still worth a mention.
The Big Catch
Fishing fans may feel disappointed to know that The Big Catch is leaving Netflix. The BBC series follows a fishing competition, but it isn't a calm vacation on a lake. Eight professionals travel the world to the most dangerous fishing spots, from the mountains of British Columbia to the Mekong River in China.
The series is quite beautiful in that it shows many destinations with several breeds of fish. It also explores how local fishing techniques can adapt to certain situations. By February, though, The Big Catch will leave Netflix.
Pioneers Of African-American Cinema
Unlike other series, Pioneers of African-American Cinema is a collection of movies. The series collected over 20 films directed by African Americans. Some are short, others are over an hour, but all are cultural films produced between 1915 to 1946. Oscar Micheaux, Richard E. Norman, and Spencer Williams are some of the notable directors featured.
The show has received mixed reviews, which may be why Netflix will remove it in February. Unfortunately, Pioneers of African-American Cinema only streams on Netflix. The black-and-white movies will be hard to find after this show leaves the streaming service.
The Furchester Hotel
If the puppets in The Furchester Hotel look similar to the Sesame Street, it's because Furchester Hotel is a spin-off series! In this show, a cheerfully chaotic monster family, the Furchesters, run a hotel together. The kids' cousin, Elmo, joins the family to help them run the hotel for a while.
The show aired between 2014 and 2017, producing three seasons. Now, you can only find Furchester Hotel on Netflix and iTunes. But it'll leave the streaming service on the first of the month.
World's Busiest Cities
In the 2017 show, World's Busiest Cities, BBC journalists dive into the most bustling cities on the planet. This documentary series gives the audience a glimpse into cities around the world, from Mexico City to Hong Kong to Moscow.

Throughout the series, therapists work with the band members through 20 years of repressed emotions. It's raw, powerful, and a must-see for any Metallica fan. Catch it now, because it's not on any other streaming service.
My Tattoo Addiction
As the name suggests, My Tattoo Addiction dives into the mind of so-called tattoo "addicts." The documentary series interviews people with tattoos to learn the meaning and mentality behind all of their ink.
Released in 2013, My Tattoo Addiction only has three episodes that span around 45 minutes each. It provides a platform for conversation about tattoos, what they mean, and how far is too far. Netflix is the only platform that offers this show, so have at it before it disappears!
LoliRock
In 2014, the French animated series LoliRock aired. The show became so popular that an English version released in 2016. In LoliRock, a teenage girl named Iris is a singer who learns that she is actually a princess with magical powers.
