Netflix has so much new content on rolling release each month, it's easy to miss some of the gems. Here are several we loved, worth adding to your must-watch lists next.
Sweet Tooth
In Sweet Tooth, ten years ago “The Great Crumble” wreaked havoc on the world and led to the mysterious emergence of hybrids — babies born part human, part animal. Unsure if hybrids are the cause or result of the virus, many humans fear and hunt them. After a decade of living safely in his secluded forest home, a sheltered hybrid deer-boy named Gus unexpectedly befriends a wandering loner named Jepperd.
Together they set out on an extraordinary adventure across what’s left of America in search of answers. Based on the DC comic book series by Jeff Lemire.

The first five episodes of Netflix’s Lupin debuted on Netflix earlier this year, and the series quickly became the first French show to break into the streaming giant’s Top 10 in the States. The fast-paced, winding heist plot set in Paris is a must-see.
