Given that Valentine's Day falls this week, we can forgive Netflix for releasing a romance story or two... or five, as it's a pretty love-heavy week this week.
Below, you'll find a list of 7 new movies and shows coming to Netflix between Saturday, February 8 and Friday, February 14; I'm What to Watch's streaming expert and I picked these as the biggest new additions the streamer has this week.
If you're not a fan of romance there's also a war documentary and an animated fantasy movie but your pickings are slim; use our list of the best Netflix shows to find an alternative.
