## Notable Shows and Films — Brief Breakdown

**Black Sails (April 17)** is the biggest TV departure of the month — all four seasons of the Starz pirate drama leaving together. Set as a prequel to *Treasure Island*, it follows Captain Flint in an era of high-seas adventure, political intrigue, and brutal warfare. Genuinely underappreciated.

**District 9 (April 1)** remains one of the most original sci-fi films ever made — a apartheid allegory set in Johannesburg featuring alien refugees. Unmissable before it leaves.

**Ford v Ferrari (April 1)** won two Academy Awards and tells the true story of Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles building the car that challenged Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966. Breathtaking racing sequences.

**Free Solo (April 1)** is the Oscar-winning documentary following Alex Honnold’s rope-free ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite — genuinely one of the most terrifying and awe-inspiring films you’ll ever watch.

**Queen of the South (April 7)** runs five full seasons and follows Teresa Mendoza as she rises from poverty to become one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the world. Criminally bingeable.

[Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix) currently operates in over 190 countries and rotates licensed content regularly as streaming rights expire — making April departures particularly heavy this year.
