Netflix: 7 best new shows to watch in April 2019 + full list

1. "Our Planet" Season 1 (available now)

Why Should I Watch In the second episode of "Our Planet," the eight-part nature docs from Netflix tell of the success of "Planet Earth": image of the largest walrus population on the planet. Images of drones capture a sea of ​​brown fur resting on the sea itself, while striking crane movements illustrate the huge population of mammal defenses fighting for a precious place . immovable. Their honks are as humorous as their climbing adventures over other walruses – which can crush walruses on the bottom – and the surrounding rocks are terrifying. They look like extraterrestrials and their habitat also looks like a country far removed from ours. But that's not it. It's our planet and the special Netflix connects us to this seemingly basic concept of brute power. The end of this short segment offers some of the most horrific plans you'll ever see; perhaps too shocking for little children, but necessary to bring home the ambitious goal of "our planet": to save him and all that lives here

Raison bonus: "Creators from" Planet Earth "" is all you really need to know here, but viewers need to know that "Our Planet" is playing as a second nauseated sequel to the hit Bocus America series . Climate change and the damage it has caused to our world have sometimes been mentioned in this series, but the presence of the latter is almost constant. The narrator, Sir David Attenborough, defines each entry based on what is lost, how quickly it disappears, and what we can do to stop it – including a website dedicated to saving the planet. So, if you think you're going to relax and enjoy some lush visuals of the great outdoors, well, you can, but you'll get an extra dose of personal responsibility.

2. "Special" Season 1 (available April 12)

Why Should I Watch? Executive produced by Jim Parsons, "Special" brings Ryan O'Connell's memoir to life on a small screen – with O & Connell playing himself. Ryan's mild cerebral palsy demotivated the young homobadual man, forcing him to work in pajamas and doing only Go-Nowhere internships. But now, confronted with a crossroads, Ryan chooses to change lanes and search for what he wants. The half-hour comedy is supposed to be an inspiring, uplifting and distinct original series, and keeping the disabled person in the foreground certainly gives this story a special aspect already.

Bonus Reason: Maybe, just maybe, if millions of Netflix users love "Special", they'll end up on ABC's great sitcom on a family and their only son reaches of cerebral palsy, "Speechless". No, not all programs of a type with cerebral palsy are the same. Same thing, but it's exciting to see two TV shows trying to have serious, entertaining and in-depth conversations about life with this disorder – that about 500,000 Americans live each day. Moreover, it seems that these programs will be quite different from each other, further widening the perspectives of all who watch.

3. "I think you should go with Tim Robinson" Season 1 (available April 23)

Why Should I watch? We do not know much about Tim Robinson's upcoming original series on Netflix, but in a way, we know everything we need: "In this new sketch exhibition," reads In the official synopsis, "Tim Robinson and his guests spend each segment driving somebody to the point of needing – or desperately wanting – to leave." It's often enough just a smart comedian and Robinson continues to prove himself as a performer to watch for.Between the time he wrote on "SNL" and his excellent series "Detroiters" from Comedy Central, all he has to cook should be a show to see

Reason for bonus: I mean, who are the guests? It's written "Tim Robinson and his guests" – and Robinson knows a lot of great people (just look at the one near you from him on the photo above) Bring the episodes! [19659007] 4. "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" Season 1, Part 2 (available now)

Why Should I Watch? Netflix's reimagination of the Archie -TGIF movie series is really a reinvention. Similar to the adaptation of "Riverdale" by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, his interpretation of "Sabrina" is more modern in tone and mentality. The eponymous witch of Kiernan Shipka is progressive, feminist and very, very active. She makes decisions – fighting the demons and going out with who she wants to go out – while the rest of the world adapts to her. Definitely for teens today, "CAOS" also feels mature enough to guide them through their turbulent emotional state, while providing a silly fun all along the way.

Reason for bonus: Lucy Davis and Miranda Otto's Spellman sisters steal scenes to the extreme. "CAOS" has not reached a status that guarantees spin-offs, but it's quite exciting to watch these two veterans tap into rich material to make you dream of a few stand-alone episodes dedicated to their difficult relationship.
