Apple Cider Vinegar (Feb 6) – Wellness influencer Belle (Kaitlyn Dever) claims she cured her terminal brain cancer through clean eating and natural medicine, peddling alternative cures to a massive online community. But as she vies for attention and profits with fellow cancer sufferer and health blogger Milla (Fear the Walking Dead’s Alycia Debnam-Carey), Belle’s diagnoses begin to pile up and Milla uncovers a shocking lie at the center of Belle’s health empire. Dever is deeply unsettling as a bright-eyed sociopath whose moral compass becomes demagnetized at the intersection of wellness culture, girlboss capitalism and social media stardom.

Celebrity Bear Hunt (Feb 5) – In what may turn out to be the funniest UK reality competition in years, twelve British stars land in the Costa Rican jungle to test their wits and will against celebrity pee-drinker Bear Grylls, who teaches them basic survival skills – then skydives into the rainforest like Predator to hunt them for sport. Icons like Mel B, Boris Becker and Danny Cipriani complete physical challenges and try to evade capture in the Bear Pit, stumbling around in half-ghillie suits while Grylls stalks them, laying tripwires and netting like Kevin McAllister or simply sprinting them down and tying them up. The highlight of the trailer features the always-on-brand Grylls explaining how to make something with urine while a competitor nods in horror.

Felipe Esparza: Raging Fool (Feb 11) – Coming off a successful international tour, the 2010 Last Comic Standing winner brings his unhinged humor to the Crest Theatre in Sacramento for his second Netflix special – with a title inspired by Robert DeNiro’s standup routine at the end of Raging Bull. Esparza, born in Mexico and raised in the U.S., tells wild stories about childhood poverty, drugs and the immigrant experience like he’s joking with a coworker at lunch – and fans relate to a bicultural world where dark humor and unself-seriousness become tools to navigate family, romance and friendship. 

Zero Day (Feb 20) – Robert DeNiro harrumphs through his first starring TV series role as a former U.S. president who investigates a cyberattack that killed thousands of Americans. The narrative dissonance of an 81-year-old actor who could own a Jitterbug phone leading a team of cyber sleuths to stop a deadly threat to America is tempered by DeNiro’s time-chiseled gravitas. The political thriller series boasts a production pedigree to tempt any film veteran into the serial wildlands: it’s created by Eric Newman (Narcos, Griselda) and Noah Oppenheim (Jackie), directed by Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland, Mad Men), and co-stars Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan and Angela Bassett.
