2021 has not exactly been a banner year for Netflix so far. Of course,
the pandemic undoubtedly has something to do with that, and there’s no
telling how much of an impact the virus has had on Netflix’s productions,
but the original fare has been lacking. That is not to say that there
haven’t been any highlights, they’ve just been few and far between. In
fact, the list of departures in April might actually rival the list of
additions, which is why we decided to bring back this feature and pick
out ten shows and movies you should watch before they’re removed. Last
year’s Academy Awards ceremony was one of the last big televised events
before the world shut down. You might remember that Bong Joon-ho won Best
Director for Parasite, which also won Best Picture. Parasite is a truly
incredible film, and it deserved every award it won, but if you’re not
familiar with the rest of Bong Joon-ho’s extensive filmography, you’ve
missed out on some real gems. One of those gems is the action-packed
Snowpiercer, and while it shares some themes in common with Parasite, it
is a totally different kind of movie. It’s being taken off of Netflix at
the end of April, so if you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to add it to
your queue. Also, once you get done watching the movie, you can catch up
on TNT’s spinoff show of the same name. Speaking of action-packed
blockbusters, I Am Legend is leaving next month as well. This Will Smith
zombie movie might not be his best work, but it’s a thrilling journey and
he has no trouble carrying the movie. Django Unchained is also taking a
leave of absence from Netflix, so if you’re looking for more social
commentary and more violence after Snowpiercer and I Am Legend, you could
do a lot worse than Quentin Tarantino’s seventh movie. Here are the ten
best movies and shows Netflix is dumping next month, and the date on
which they will be dumped. If you dont watch them before then, you might
never get to see them on Netflix at all: …
