New on Netflix in April
Do you want to avoid the usual ‘what do you want to watch’ - ’I’m fine with anything’ - ‘me too’ interaction? Understandable. This month, Netflix is once again filled with titles you can click on without a doubt. There’s something for everyone.
Wild Child (April 1)
Emma Roberts plays Poppy, a spoiled brat from Malibu with absolutely no boundaries. Her father is fed up with her behavior and sends her to a strict English boarding school.

Love on the Spectrum U.S. (April 1)
This series follows people with autism who venture into the confusing world of dating. And they date without a filter. Expect a series that will make you laugh out loud, but also a series that will make you smile. It swings from hilarious moments to too cute.
Argo (April 3)
Argo is something completely different: a political thriller. During the Iranian hostage crisis, a CIA agent devises an absurd rescue plan centered around a fake film production. Yes. This film manages to find the balance between dry humor and nerve-wracking moments. And that CIA agent is played by Ben Affleck.
Apollo 13 (April 7)
What was supposed to be an everyday mission turns into a race against time when something goes wrong in space.

Noah Kahan: Out of Body (April 13)

The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson (April 3)
An intimate portrait of a young cyclist who seemed to have everything on her side to reach the top. Her drive and talent make her special, but her story takes a tragic turn. The documentary focuses not only on the murder but also on who she was as a person. And that hits hard.
Knokke Off (April 3)

They will all be on Netflix: Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man Homecoming, Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse, and The Amazing Spider-Man.
