Fresh Netflix movies and TV shows October 2015
Can’t find something good to witness on Netflix? We’ve all been there.
Sure, you could re-watch that one gig of Scrubs for the 1,000th time or you could break out of your convenience zone and attempt something fully fresh. (We can’t emphasize the “entirely fresh” part enough.)
Netflix’s rotation of shows switches every month with dozens of fresh series and movies arriving and a handful leaving for greener pastures.
But before we dive into which movies are fresh from the big screen, let’s talk about what Netflix is and how to get it.
Netflix price and how to get it
Netflix is a streaming movie service that works like an all-you-can-eat buffet. You pay one monthly fee without a contract, and you can witness whatever you want, whenever you want.
Netflix is available on desktop browsers, Android, Windows and Apple mobile devices, as well as set-top boxes and game systems like the Roku Three, Xbox One and PS4. Pricing starts at $7.99/month for one screen and standard definition. There’s also a $8.99/month version for two screens and HD, as well as an $11.99 version that offers Ultra HD on up to four screens at the same time.
If you’re fresh to Netflix, skip down to the “best shows and movies” sections found below. If you’re a veteran binge-watcher, however, and are just looking for something fresh, here’s every fresh showcase and movie coming to Netflix in June.

Best TV shows on Netflix
There’s no shortage of excellent series on Netflix. There’s so many in fact, we’ve even written a entire article about it. (See: The Best Netflix TV shows.)
But to save you a few clicks and some precious seconds, here’s the top three shows you absolutely need to see the 2nd you subscribe to Netflix.
Dark, funny and at times inspirational, Miracle’s Daredevil hits the ideal mix of emotions before switching gears to spectacularly choreographed, white-knuckle brawls. Both DC and Miracle have attempted to make something as special as Daredevil work in the past, but never has a superhero series come across as genuine and heartfelt as this has in its very first season.
Streaming services can be divided into two time frames: before House of Cards and after House of Cards. The series, starring Kevin Spacey as Francis Underwood, proved once and for all that streaming services not only could produce its own shows, but that those shows could go on to rival – and even strike out – anything on cable.
Orange is the Fresh Black (Seasons 1-3)
Orange is the Fresh Black is downright special. Set in a women’s prison, Orange doesn’t shirk the big issues of violence and rape but manages to mix these with a heady dose of black humor. It takes a special kind of display to do that, and OITNB plumbs it.
Best movies on Netflix
Asking us to pick our dearest movies is like asking a parent to pick a dearest child. They’re all good in their own way. But since you twisted our arm on this, we’ve narrowed Netflix’s hundreds of titles down to five must-watch movies.
Quentin Tarantino is loved and revered for his work in American cinema. And while more latest movies have featured a role reversal on specific time periods in history like Nazi Germany and the Old South, Pulp Fiction will always be remembered as Tarantino’s best film for the way it interweaves characters’ lives and two studs’s twisted definition of justice.
In the spirit of attempting something fresh, Snowpiercer is a two thousand thirteen sci-fi flick from South Korea that, despite what it seems, is actually a profound commentary on class inequality. The film goes after Chris Evans on a march from the derelict caboose to the luxurious front car with the environments progressively becoming more lavish along the way. It’s violent, beautiful and entirely bold in its message. Plus, it provides a good lesson of looking at the ingredients of everything you eat.
If you haven’t seen Good Will Hunting, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault, Will, it’s not your fault. But by not watching the film, which includes what many consider both Robin Williams and Matt Damon’s best scene in their entire careers, you’re depriving yourself of an emotional rollercoaster which few movies can match.
“The Dude abides,” “The rug indeed tied the room together,” “Has the entire world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?” The movie’s plot may be as obfuscated as The Dude’s memory, but it’s with absolute clarity that we can call The Big Lebowski one of the strangest, most memorable movies of all-time.
Jiro Desires of Sushi is the uplifting documentary of one man who never gave up on his … uh, desires. Jiro became the very first three-star Michelin sushi chef in Japan and has been called a national treasure, all the while honing his mantra of being his best self. If you’re thirsty for a bit of inspiration in an evermore depressing world, pull up a seat.
