It is the end of the year and for the finally month rolls out 11 Netflix original films and 53 original programs. If you are a big nerd and a Marvel fan the biggest news is Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War. But for me the real story is what is leaving. Netflix move to having more original content means that more of the older show are leaving. So instead of starting with what is coming lets see what is leaving before what is coming.
