Netflix Comings And Goings September 2016

Hey coffee buddy! Grab your mug, let's spill the tea on what's leaving and what's arriving on Netflix this September. Because, you know, it’s practically a holiday on its own when you're trying to figure out what binge-worthy goodness to dive into. This month's got a bit of everything, a real mixed bag, but some absolute gems are heading out the digital door. Don't you just hate it when your favorites get the boot? It’s like saying goodbye to a really great friend, right?

First off, let's talk about the sad goodbyes. September’s a bit of a purge, honestly. We’re losing some seriously classic stuff. Like, did you know Grease is grooving its way off Netflix? Yeah, I know! My heart just did a little flip of despair too. Where will we go for our impromptu singalongs now? Will Rydell High ever be the same? Probably not. It's a real tragedy, if you ask me. So, if you haven't had your fill of Sandy and Danny's summer romance (or lack thereof), you better get your fix now. Seriously, like, tonight. Don’t delay!

And it’s not just musical theatre that’s taking a hike. A whole bunch of James Bond films are also packing their bags. Seriously, all of them? Okay, maybe not all of them, but a significant chunk. So, if you were planning a 007 marathon, you might need to adjust your timeline. It’s a good thing they’re iconic, so you probably know them by heart anyway, right? But still, it's nice to have them readily available for those rainy Sundays. Where will we get our dose of martinis, shaken not stirred, and sophisticated spy action? The suspense is killing me!

Then there’s The Graduate. Remember that one? Mrs. Robinson, anyone? It’s a cinematic masterpiece, truly. So, watching Dustin Hoffman navigate his existential crisis is also going to be a thing of the past on Netflix. It's a bit of a downer, isn't it? This feels like a personal attack on my intellectual movie nights. I’m going to miss those awkward silences and that haunting Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack. Seriously, Netflix, you're breaking my heart.

And for the kiddies (or the kids at heart), it looks like some of the Curious George adventures are also leaving. Oh no! Little George, with his boundless curiosity and tendency to get into major trouble. He’s such a lovable scamp. It’s a shame for the little ones who might be discovering him for the first time. So, get your monkey business in while you can, folks. He’s not going to be swinging around on Netflix forever!

It's not all doom and gloom, though. Don’t start weeping into your popcorn just yet! Because, as always, Netflix is bringing in some shiny new things to fill those empty digital shelves. And this September, there’s some serious firepower coming our way. Are you ready for some new series that are going to dominate your watch list?

Let’s talk about the big one: Luke Cage. Yes! Marvel’s latest Netflix series is here, and it’s going to be epic. If you’re a fan of superhero shows, and let’s be honest, who isn’t these days? This is your jam. We’re talking about Harlem, a bulletproof hero, and all sorts of street-level justice. It sounds amazing, right? I’m already picturing myself glued to the couch, completely engrossed. Think of the water cooler talk at work (if you even go to work anymore, am I right?). This is going to be the topic of conversation for weeks!

And if superheroes aren’t your cup of tea, there’s always The Get Down. This is Baz Luhrmann’s big new musical drama, and it’s set in 1970s New York. Think disco, hip-hop, and all the vibrant energy of that era. It’s supposed to be visually stunning, as anything Luhrmann does is. I’m expecting a lot of fabulous costumes and a killer soundtrack. It's like stepping back in time, but with way better music. This is going to be a vibe. Get ready to dance in your living room!

Then we have some serious comedy coming our way. BoJack Horseman is back for its third season. Oh, BoJack. Our favorite cynical, washed-up actor horse. He’s got a way of making us laugh even when he’s wallowing in his own existential despair. It's a weird kind of comfort, isn't it? This show is so smart and funny, and often surprisingly poignant. If you haven’t seen it, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, catch up! This season is bound to be filled with more hilarious mishaps and awkward encounters. I can’t wait for more of his perfectly awful choices.

And speaking of stand-up, Netflix is also adding some new comedy specials. Because, you know, we all need a good laugh. They’ve got the new special from Dave Chappelle. Yes, the Dave Chappelle. He’s a legend, and his specials are always a masterclass in observational humor and social commentary. This is going to be hilarious, insightful, and probably a little bit controversial. Prepare to have your funny bone tickled and your mind a little bit blown.

They’re also dropping a new season of One Day at a Time. This is a remake of the classic sitcom, but with a modern, Latinx family twist. It’s supposed to be really heartwarming and funny, and tackle some relevant social issues with humor and grace. It's always nice to see families on screen that feel real and relatable. I’m really looking forward to this one. It sounds like the kind of show that will make you feel good and maybe even learn a thing or two.

Now, let’s dive into some of the movies that are making their debut. We’ve got some great additions to the film library. Remember The Little Prince? That beautiful animated movie based on the classic book? It’s coming to Netflix! If you’re looking for something visually stunning and emotionally resonant, this is it. It’s a story about childhood, imagination, and the important things in life that adults often forget. Perfect for family movie night, or just a quiet evening of reflection. It’s a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

And for something a bit more action-packed, keep an eye out for Train to Busan. This South Korean zombie thriller is supposed to be absolutely insane. Like, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat kind of insane. If you’re a fan of zombie movies, this is a must-see. It’s been getting rave reviews, so I’m expecting it to be a wild ride. Get ready to scream! And maybe hide behind a pillow. Just a suggestion.

Then there’s American Honey. This is a road movie about a group of young people selling magazine subscriptions across the country. It’s supposed to be gritty, raw, and incredibly authentic. It’s got a fantastic cast and a soundtrack that will make you want to hit the open road. If you like character-driven stories that explore the struggles and dreams of young people, this is for you. It sounds like it’s going to be a real coming-of-age story, with all the messiness that entails.

And, of course, there are always a ton of documentaries and unscripted series being added. Netflix is really upping its game in that department. So, if you’re looking to learn something new or get lost in a real-life story, you’ll have plenty of options. They’re always adding new content, so it’s worth checking the "New & Popular" section regularly. You never know what hidden gems you might find!

So, there you have it, your quick and dirty guide to what’s coming and going on Netflix in September 2016. It’s a bittersweet month, as always. Some favorites are disappearing, but some seriously exciting new things are arriving. The key is to be proactive, right? Don’t wait until the last minute to watch that movie you’ve been meaning to get to. And definitely dive into those new series as soon as they drop. Our watch lists are never safe, are they? It’s a constant battle to keep up. But hey, at least we have each other to commiserate and celebrate the streaming wins!

What are you most excited about? Are you going to be heartbroken about the departures? Let me know! We can swap recommendations and plan our next binge-watching session. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. And I think we’re just the people for the task. Now, go forth and stream responsibly (or not so responsibly, who am I to judge?). Happy watching, my friend!
