Netflix next month (June 2024) plans to add 101 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the four most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Hit Man (2023)
Glen Powell, Hollywood’s Flavor of the Month, stars in this Richard Linklater-directed Netflix original film about a New Orleans police employee who goes undercover as a hit man. The ploy to trap would-be killers backfires when he falls for a woman (Adria Arjona) who decides to murder her husband. In the hands of a lesser talent, Hit Man could have fired blanks, but Linklater’s film amassed a near unanimous critical reaction when it was released in select theaters last year. Hit Man appears to be another big hit for Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Anyone But You) and Linklater, the quirky auteur behind such films as Boyhood, Dazed and Confused and Before Sunset. Debuts June 7.

America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders
The Netflix original documentary reveals what it takes to become a member of the most famous cheerleader squad on Earth with unprecedented access to backstage auditions, strategy sessions and other prep work by the high-kicking aspirants. Debuts June 20.

Dexter (Seasons one through eight)
The critically acclaimed (albeit polarizing) Showtime drama about a serial killer with a cause comes to Netflix where you just know it’s going to pile up the views like Dexter piles up the bodies. Michael C. Hall is brilliant in the title role as the Miami police blood examiner who just wants to improve the world, one murder at a time. If you’re not offended by the premise that murder can have its place, then you’ll fall hard for Dexter. Debuts June 19.

La La Land (2016)
La La Land is guaranteed to lift your spirits and perhaps your feet as well. Directed by Damien Chazelle, the film stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a struggling jazz pianist and actress respectively in cold-hearted Los Angeles. However, their dreams fuel a zest for life that keeps them on their toes, literally and figuratively. A throwback to the great MGM musicals of the 1940s, La La Land is a feast for the eyes (and the soul) and was wholly worthy of its Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. Debuts June 1.
