What Netflix Giveth and What Netflix Taketh Away for April

It’s that time again, time to check out what Netflix is bringing to your screen in the month of April, and maybe more importantly, what they’re taking OFF the menu in April.

There are a number of new original series headed to Netflix in April, with Aston Kutcher’s new situation comedy, The Ranch hitting screens on the 1st, and the second season of our personal favorite, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, making the tax filing deadline a bit easier to take on April 15th. (The IRS moved the tax return filing deadline to the 18th this year. They haven’t commented on whether it’s connected to the Kimmy premier in any way.)

Movie fans will find some favorites hitting the streaming multiplex in April, with Boogie Nights, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and more making a showing. We also mentioned “taketh away,” and in that column, 101 Dalmatians, Léon: The Professional, and seasons 1-11 of M*A*S*H will be leaving the service, along with a number of other titles.

The whole list is below, via The Verge.
