Here are the best-looking Netflix Original shows and movies coming to the service in February 2020.

What is it? February's big true-crime offering is The Pharmacist, a docu-series that tells the story of small town pharmacist Dan Schneider, and how his efforts to identify his son's killer led to him gathering evidence against a prolific "pill mill" in New Orleans.

The ripple effects of Schneider's son’s addiction and death come back to haunt him when a number of young, seemingly healthy people begin visiting his pharmacy with high dose prescriptions for OxyContin.

Sensing a crisis long before the opioid epidemic has gained nationwide attention, Dan stakes a mission: save the lives of other sons and daughters within his community, then take the fight to Big Pharma itself.

What is it? With the Sundance Film Festival ongoing, Netflix's original film output for the next months is likely to feature many darlings from the indie-film festival, as the streaming service snaps them up for distribution.

One such film is Horse Girl, a darkly humorous psychological thriller starring Alison Brie as a socially isolated arts and crafts store employee who finds herself happier in the company of horses and supernatural crime shows than people.

When a series of strangely surreal dreams upend the simplicity of her waking life, she struggles to distinguish her visions from reality.

What is it? The long-awaited (a pilot was made in 2011 but never saw the light of day) TV adaptation of the best-selling comic book series of the same name is a coming-of-age mystery that's bound to capture the imagination of Netflix's teenage audience.
