This month on Netflix we say goodbye to the Hargreeves siblings with the fourth, and sadly final season of comic book adaptation The Umbrella Academy. For new shows, our top picks include breakout Wednesday star Emma Myers in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and Jeff Goldblum looking delightfully unhinged as the father of all Greek gods in Kaos.
Also airing this month will be the directors cuts of Rebel Moon Parts One and Two, if you needed more Rebel Moon in your life for some reason. With the promise (threat?) of close to an hour of extra content per film, the combined runtime of the extended, R-Rated versions now clocks in at an unfathomable six and a half hours long.

A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming.
