The Best Movies & TV Shows Coming To Netflix In January 2021

As I’m sure you know, 2020 is almost over. Congratulations, you’ve made it through (most of) this hell year! And as December ends, January begins – and brings with it new titles on Netflix. So here are the best TV shows and movies coming to Netflix in January 2021.
GoodFellas
Here’s a hot take: GoodFellas is really, really, really good. I know, no one has ever dared say that before! But I’m the type of brave soul who is willing to risk it all for a controversial stance. You’re welcome, reader. (Side-note: it genuinely feels like Netflix adds and removes this movie every two months.)
Bonnie and Clyde
Not only is Bonnie and Clyde a great film, it’s also considered to be the movie the ushered in the New Hollywood era, where filmmakers blew up the old school studio system with daring, inventive films (most of which were heavily influenced by the French New Wave). Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are the infamous bank robbers, and their story is heavily fictionalized and romanticized here, and that’s just fine.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
In a just world, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo would’ve launched a full franchise, as David Fincher was hoping. Alas, it didn’t happen – but we did get that already-forgotten reboot with Clair Foy! In any case, I love Fincher’s Dragon Tattoo, which is nasty and stylish, with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara playing an unlikely pair of sleuths trying to solve a cold case.
Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer
Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer is a new four-part true crime docuseries. I’ve already seen it, but I’m still embargoed from telling you if it’s any good! But if you’re into true crime, I have a feeling you’ll want to check this out. It comes from director Tiller Russell, who helmed the excellent true crime documentary The Seven Five.
