This month brings the end of Dry January and the pleasures (or otherwise) of Valentine's Day, but if you're still planning on keeping it low-key, Netflix has you covered.

Films arriving on the streaming library include Get Out, the clever and subversive horror comedy from Jordan Peele, and the first Mamma Mia! movie starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried and some (ahem) distinctive vocals from Pierce Brosnan. I Feel Pretty, the Amy Schumer vehicle which prompted a wave of hot takes when it hit cinemas, is another new addition.

New original series include Russian Doll, a pitch-black comedy starring Orange Is the New Black 's Natasha Lyonne, and The Umbrella Academy, a superhero series with Ellen Page and Mary J. Blige. Oh, and if you do happen to be feeling romantic, Netflix is launching its first ever dating show, Dating Around.
