Best New Movies and Series on Netflix for February 1st, 2023

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Best movie trilogy of all time? The chances are The Lord of the Rings is top of that list, and today, Netflix nabbed all three movies.

Based on the J.R.R. Tolkien novels, these three movies masterfully adapts the tale of Frodo Baggins taking the ring of power to Mount Doom to defeat Sauron.

As we predicted a little earlier in the week, the three movies now streaming on Netflix sadly are not the beloved extended versions of the Peter Jackson trilogy.


New Amsterdam (Seasons 3-4)
