Blog and guides
Original writing from the TV Roulette team: how the wheel works, plus dated notes on what we would actually have spun in a given month. Those posts are commentary, not coming-soon lists.
Original guides
These pages are written for this site: how we pick a title, how catalogs split by country, and how to use the wheel with other people.
- Why the Netflix catalog changes by country (and how to spin for yours)
Netflix does not show the same library everywhere. How licensing splits catalogs, how TV Roulette uses watch region, and how to avoid spinning for the wrong country.
- How the TV Roulette quality filter works
What the thumbs-up and thumbs-down quality toggle actually changes, when to use each side, and why “good” is not a critic’s prize list.
- What to spin when you cannot decide what to watch
A decision guide for using TV Roulette by mood: tired weeknights, picky groups, comfort watches, and “we have twenty minutes to choose.”
- How to host a bad-movie night with TV Roulette
Rules for a so-bad-it-is-fun watch: quality off, genre on, one spin per round, and how to keep it from becoming actual misery.
- Using watch region correctly (including VPNs)
How TV Roulette picks a Netflix country, when the automatic guess is wrong, and why a VPN does not change our catalog unless you change the dropdown.
- How to pick a movie with friends using TV Roulette
A short process for groups: one region, one spinner, limited vetoes, and when to stop negotiating and hit play.
Monthly spin notes
Each of these is a short editorial note about a real Netflix month: what we would spin, what to skip, and — when an older version invented titles — a correction. Availability still changes by country.

What we would spin from Netflix’s March 2026 catalog
A checked March 2026 roundup: titles we would actually spin, U.S. leavers worth knowing, and a correction of claims this page used to make.

What we would spin from Netflix’s February 2026 catalog
February 2026 was a sequel month, not a discovery month. What we would spin, what left in the U.S., and why a full calendar is the wrong way to pick.

What we would have spun in June 2023
Extraction 2, The Witcher volume 1, and a licensed Sunday of Spider-Man and Mean Girls. June 2023 was easy if you stopped listing every title.

What we would have spun in May 2023
Queen Charlotte, The Mother, and FUBAR were the May 2023 titles worth a wheel click. The rest of that month was a licensed pile — here is how we would have filtered it.

What we would have spun in April 2023
Beef, The Diplomat, and a Bourne-shaped licensed pile. April 2023 was a good month to spin TV once, then stop shopping.

What actually arrived on Netflix in March 2023
This page once advertised a Powerpuff Girls live-action reboot and an Office reunion that did not exist. Here is the March 2023 slate we can stand behind.

What actually arrived on Netflix in February 2023
Stranger Things 4 did not land in February 2023 — that was May 2022. You, Outer Banks, and We Have a Ghost were the real slate. Here is how we would have spun it.

What actually arrived on Netflix in January 2023
This page used to put Matrix Resurrections, Yellowstone, and Ozark on a January 2023 calendar that did not exist. Here is what we would actually have spun.

What we would have spun in June 2022
Peaky Blinders season 6, The Umbrella Academy season 3, Hustle, and Spiderhead. June 2022 was a good spin month if you ignored the day-by-day dump and the VPN advice.

What we would have spun in May 2022
Wait for Stranger Things 4, or spin Love, Death & Robots and the licensed rom-com pile. May 2022 was a patience test with a good wheel underneath.

What we would have spun in April 2022
Heartstopper, Ozark’s last stretch, Russian Doll season 2, and a pile of Oscar films. April 2022 rewarded filters, not a 90-title dump.

What we would have spun in March 2022
Bridgerton season 2, The Adam Project, Pieces of Her, and a licensed week of Shawshank and Shrek. March 2022 was the month that taught us to separate premieres from dumps.
