  • As you know, content comes and goes on Netflix. Each week, we’re bringing you a list of titles that you’ll be able to stream in the U.S. in the coming days.

    This week, Netflix introduced a new experience for its members who stream content on their televisions through a number of connected devices (with more to come). With Blockbuster officially closing, you might find yourself watching Netflix even more (assuming you live in a town that still had a Blockbuster).

    Here are some titles you can check out in the coming week if you can tear yourself away from Breaking Bad (reportedly the most popular show in Netflix).
