Premieres Wednesday, Feb. 4:

The Investigation of Lucy Letby — This profile of the infanticidal British nurse relies on the now-traditional “previously unseen footage.” Which has me wondering why so much footage about crucial criminal cases has been going undiscovered until Netflix can dig it up. Is our nation’s law-enforcement infrastructure just not up to speed with Excel? (Netflix)

Is It Cake? Valentines — For the first time, the baking competition salutes the holiday of embittered singles. And also for the first time, the audience gets to play along at home. Of course, if you don’t know what in your own kitchen is cake or not, it probably explains why you had to meet your girlfriend through Grok. (Netflix)

Premieres Thursday, Feb. 5:

Cash Queens — A quintet of Frenchwomen disguise themselves as men to launch themselves into a lucrative new career as bank robbers. This is how you know the French aren’t doing enough to recruit gendarmes from gamer sites, because the guys on there think every woman is a dude. (Netflix)

Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback — A probing docuseries examines the challenges men of color had to face to make their mark on the most important position in football. And let me tell you, trying to come up with a punchline for this one has made me realize Norm Macdonald died at exactly the right time. (Peacock)

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 — Based on The Law of Innocence, the sixth book in Michael Connelly’s Mickey Holler series, Season 4 has our hero trying to clear himself of charges that he murdered a former client. Boy, would I love to see his billboards. “If I don’t win, you don’t pay. And I WILL NOT KILL YOU.” (Netflix) 

Unfamiliar — Germany sends us a six-episode thriller series about married former spies who run a Berlin safe house for people who need to hide for their lives. But what would the Germans know about a concept like that, right? (Netflix)

Premieres Friday, Feb. 6:

The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs — The first double feature of the year has the theme “Don’t-Sploitation.” Now it’s on all of us to guess if we’ll be looking in the basement, answering the phone or going in the house. (And I think we can all assume we won’t be admonished against speaking, because this show can’t afford Gwen Stefani.) (Shudder)

Queen of Chess — Walk the path of Hungarian chess champ Judit Polgár, as she pursues her dream of defeating the great Garry Kasparov in the 2002 Russia vs. Rest of the World tournament. (This, of course, was before Russia handed off to Scott Pilgrim.) (Netflix)

Salvador — A Spanish dad tries to figure out why his daughter fell in with a neo-Nazi group, despite having been raised in a household that rejected racism, violence and homophobia. Get with it, Sal. These kids always rebel against what they were brought up with. It’s why the world will one day see an end to Crocs! (Netflix) 

Premieres Sunday, Feb. 8:

The ’Burbs — Keke Palmer stars in a series remake of the 1989 Joe Dante/Tom Hanks cult film, which preyed on our fears that our neighbors might be homicidal maniacs. Gosh, were those paranoid times. Now, thanks to Kristi Noem, we can sleep soundly at night knowing it isn’t our neighbors we have to worry about. (Peacock)

Premieres Monday, Feb. 9:

Matter of Time — Eddie Vedder organizes a Seattle benefit concert to help battle the skin condition epidermolysis bullosa, also known as EB. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran isn’t making much headway with that ED. (Netflix)

Premieres Tuesday, Feb. 10:

The Artful Dodger — Dickens’ plucky pickpocket has his hands full in Season 2, trying to avoid the long arm of the law while gearing up to participate in a bold new criminal scheme. Disney’s being cagey about just what that might entail, but I didn’t like the sound of that phone call where Fagin told him to find 11,000 votes. (Disney+)

Motorvalley — A trio of down-on-their-luck Italians attempt to reverse their fortunes by winning the all-important Gran Turismo auto race. Ah, yes. The Fast, the Furious and the Fusilli. (Netflix)
