What to watch on Netflix: New TV shows and movies, plus what's leaving in February

Heading into February, Valentine's Day, love and rom-coms may be on your mind, with Netflix adding a few new love-related TV shows and movies to site, while also removing a couple of favourites from its platform in Canada.

Before Canadian actor Ryan Gosling gave us the "Kenergy" in Barbie, we swooned over his love story with Emma Stone in the rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love. But you only have a few more days to watch the film before it's removed from Netflix in Canada on Feb. 1.

On the same day, Gosling's film Blue Valentine, with costar Michelle Williams, will also be removed from Netflix.

On the topic of romance in films, the 2001 movie The Wedding Planner, starring Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, will also be leaving Netflix in Canada on Feb. 1.

Johnny Depp fans will have to watch a couple of his movies soon, before they leave Netflix in February, specifically the 2001 movie Blow, and the 2012 Tim Burton film Dark Shadows.

Orion and the Dark - Feb. 2

With a script from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind writer Charlie Kaufman, the animated movie Orion and the Dark, based on the book by Emma Yarlett, is a captivating nuanced, emotional, but still fun story, set around the fears of one child, Orion (voiced by Jacob Tremblay).

One of Orion's biggest fears is being scared of the Dark. But when he sees the physical embodiment of Dark (voiced by Emmy-winner Paul Walter Hauser), they realize that they're more similar than expected.

One Day - Feb. 8

If you're in the mood for a little romance in your February entertainment, the British series One Day, starring Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod, is what you're looking for. Based on the novel by David Nicholls, this show comes after the book was adapted into a movie in 2011.

Dex (Woodall) and Emma (Mod) reunite on the same day of each year, after speaking for the first time on July 15, 1988, just as their university days were coming to an end.

Lover, Stalker, Killer - Feb. 9
