Coming soon to a couch near you

Netflix and chill takes on a whole new meaning in February.

The online streaming service has become a repository for most things film and television, a combination of original series, classic movies and “Air Bud Spikes Back” — it’s easy to get lost in it all while browsing.

To help, we’ve compiled a few lists of things worth watching while you wait for the weather to warm.

New and returning originals

“Fuller House” (new, Friday): TGIF once more. “Fuller House” reunites the Tanner family under one roof — at least for an episode or two. The bulk of the show will focus on the newly widowed D.J. (Candace Cameron-Bure) who enlists the help of her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) to help her raise her three young boys. Original “Full House” stars Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin will also make appearances.

“House of Cards” (season 4, March 4): Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his wife, Claire (Robin Wright), continue their treacherous — in every sense of the word — climb up Washington’s political ladder.

“Flaked” (new, March 11): “Arrested Development’s” Will Arnett returns to Netflix as Chip, a man who enjoys a casual relationship with the truth. His penchant for dishonesty comes in handy when he develops feelings for his best friend’s love interest that threaten to disrupt his sobriety.

“Marvel’s Daredevil” (season 2, March 18): The first in a lineup of shows set to explore Marvel’s “street-level” heroes, Season 1 of “Daredevil” introduced viewers to Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind vigilante who practices law by day, beats criminals to a pulp at night and stews in Catholic guilt during lunch. Now that he’s firmly established in his role as the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen, Matt will have to contend with The Punisher (“The Walking Dead’s” Jon Bernthal), a famed Marvel anti-hero with an itchy trigger finger, and the re-emergence of Elektra (Elodie Yung), an old flame who in the comics is also a deadly assassin.

“The Ranch” (new, April 1): It’s the “That ’70s Show” reunion that you didn’t know you wanted. Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson will play a pair of squabbling brothers who reunite on a Colorado ranch to run the family business. The series is produced by Don Reo and Jim Patterson, who Kutcher last worked with on CBS’ long-running sitcom, “Two and a Half Men.”

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” (season 2, April 15): What does one do after being rescued from the clutches of a doomsday cult? If you’re Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper), you move to New York City, find a gay roommate/best friend (Tituss Burgess), get a job working as a nanny for an image-obsessed socialite (Jane Krakowski) and reconnect with your estranged stepfather (Tim Blake Nelson) and half sister (Kiernan Shipka). But as for what happens after that? Consult series creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.

“Marseille” (new, May 5): Mayoral politics are at the center of this fictional look at the famous French city.

“Grace and Frankie” (season 2, May 6): Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie (Lily Tomlin) are bonded by marriage — specifically two failed ones. After their husbands announce that they are gay and want to begin a life together, Grace and Frankie are left to help one another start over. The show is executive produced by Marta Kauffman (co-creator of “Friends”) and Howard J. Morris (“Home Improvement”).

“Orange is the New Black” (season 4, June 17): Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) is in the middle of serving a 16-month sentence for transporting a suitcase full of drug money — bad news for her, but good news for anyone curious about what life is like behind the walls of a minimum-security women’s federal prison in upstate New York. The comedy-drama was created by Jenji Kohan, the brain behind Showtime’s “Weeds.”

“Stranger Things” (new, July 15): You can pretty much go by the title on this one. Winona Ryder stars in a series about the mystery involving the supernatural, top-secret government experiment, a missing young boy.

Binge me

“Marvel’s Jessica Jones” (13 episodes): Released last November, “Jessica Jones” tells the story of a super-powered private investigator who spends 13 episodes trying to take down the same arch villain who brought about the end to her fledgling career as a hero. Krysten Ritter’s Jessica is sardonic, tough as nails and good company for a day spent in front of the tube.

“Master of None” (10 episodes): Aziz Ansari (“Parks and Recreation”) co-created and stars in a not-quite-coming-of-age story about a struggling actor who is no more adept at navigating some of life’s bigger questions: Does he want to have children? What constitutes a good date? Where should he go for lunch? In tone, “Master of None” feels more like an anthology series than a sitcom, which is entirely to its benefit.

“Alias” (5 seasons): J.J. Abrams loves a good cliffhanger, and the mastermind behind “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was able to create an entire season’s during the first year of his spy drama “Alias,” which plays like a 20-hour movie that occasionally pauses for commercial breaks (not that you’ll have to worry about that here). Jennifer Garner plays Sydney Bristow, a college student with a part-time job at a bank, which is really a front for a CIA offshoot called SD-6, which is really a front for a worldwide terrorist cell. When Sydney discovers that she’s working for the enemy, she undertakes her most dangerous undercover assignment yet.

“Lost” (6 seasons): The premise of “Lost” could best be summed up with a giant question mark, but instead we’ll offer up the usual cryptic logline about a group of plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious island. To explain any more would risk spoiling things, but as viewers who had to contend with the monthlong gaps between seasons can attest, it’s much less frustrating to watch the whole thing straight through.

“Fringe” (5 seasons): This is worth binging based on general weirdness alone. What started as a show about an elite division of the FBI dealing in — well, general weirdness — became a heavily serialized narrative about parallel universes, doppelgangers and other sci-fi strangeness that’s not for the casual viewer.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (7 seasons): Creator Joss Whedon navigates the mix of serialized storytelling and stand-alone installments necessary to sustain a season of a 22-episode broadcast TV drama better than anyone else. “Buffy” never dabbled much in cliffhangers or riddles and its best seasons moved at a steady pace that doesn’t necessarily reward binge viewing. The only reason to watch the show all at once is because it’s just that good.

“Gilmore Girls” (7 seasons, new episodes on the way): This show about the bond between a mother/daughter duo in the small town of Stars Hollow went off the air in 2007, but has remained so popular that Netflix has commissioned a new batch of episodes that just went into production.

Vintage laughs

“Cheers” (11 seasons): The little bar where everybody knows your name was the backdrop for what may be the most durable comedy in the history of television. It survived the loss of original leading lady Shelley Long and lasted another six seasons with replacement Kirstie Alley, transitioning seamlessly from a Tracy/Hepburn style romantic comedy to a true ensemble populated by one of the best supporting casts around.

“Frasier” (11 seasons): A Cheers spinoff with smarts to spare, “Frasier” gobbled up Emmys during its 11-year run, which saw pompous psychiatrist Frasier Crane trade his barstool for an equally comfortable gig hosting a call-in radio show in his hometown of Seattle. Seasons 8 through 10 are rough, but otherwise the quality remains more or less pristine.

“Friends” (10 seasons): Ross. Rachel. Chandler. Monica. Joey. Phoebe. It’s hard to imagine anyone to who those names mean absolutely nothing, but on the off chance that person is you, now is your chance to catch up.

“M.A.S.H.” (11 seasons): It’s hard to imagine a sitcom set at the front of the Korean War being in good taste, let alone any good, but in the capable hands of writer Larry Gelbart, co-creator Gene Reynolds and a talented cast of actors (Alan Alda, Larry Linville, Loretta Swit), “M.A.S.H.” pivoted between hilarity and poignancy with grace and style.

Series gone too soon

“Firefly” (1 season): Joss Whedon’s space-Western has a passionate following that couldn’t dissuade Fox from giving the show the ax after half a season back in 2002. Funny, fast-paced and sporting a terrific cast of then up and comers that includes Nathan Fillion (“Castle”), Morena Baccarin (“Gotham,” “Deadpool”) and Adam Baldwin (“Chuck”), “Firefly” is worth another look.

“Dollhouse” (2 seasons): Lest this start to read like a eulogy for the works of Whedon, we’ll keep it simple. Eliza Dushku (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) plays Echo, a woman whose personality and skill set can be altered to suit any task at hand. From there it starts to get progressively complicated, both ethically and plot-wise, but if you’re a fan of Whedon’s work, it’s definitely worth a glance.

“Arrested Development” (4 seasons, more episodes rumored): Netflix revived the critically acclaimed comedy for a fourth season after it was canceled by Fox in 2006. A fifth season is rumored, but even if new episodes never reach production, there’s probably never been another series that benefits quite as much from being on Netflix. Featuring a barrage of callbacks and stealth jokes, “Arrested Development” becomes richer with each repeat viewing.

“About a Boy” (2 seasons): For better or worse, TV series based on movies are all the rage right now, and this former NBC series boasts the distinction of being a worthy successor to both the film and book with which it shares a name. If you’ve seen the movie, you already know the basic story — a carefree bachelor bonds with young boy in short supply of a male role model — but the show and the cast (David Walton, Minnie Driver, Benjamin Stockham) manage to keep it fresh from episode to episode.

“Freaks and Geeks” (1 season): Created by Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids,” “Spy”) and executive produced by Judd Apatow (“The Forty Year Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up”) the series about two groups of misfit adolescents came and went before either hit it big with Hollywood and mainstream audiences, but still features an entire yearbook’s worth of up and coming talent, including Linda Cardellini, James Franco, Seth Rogen and John Francis Daley.

Rainy day favorites

“Grease” (1978): Nearly 40 years later, “Grease” is still the word.

“Witness” (1985): Harrison Ford plays a Philadelphia cop who is forced to hide out at an Amish farm after he stumbles onto case of interdepartmental corruption. The emphasis here is on drama over action, with the real fireworks occurring between Ford and actress Kelly McGillis, an Amish widow and mother who takes the fugitive policeman into her care.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986): Matthew Broderick is still inspiring a new generation of slackers in John Hughes’ classic comedy.

“Galaxy Quest” (1999): It turns out that even alien species have their fair share of fan boys. Mistaking reruns of a “Star Trek” type space-adventure series for historical documents, a ragtag group of extraterrestrials recruit the show’s cast (Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Tony Shalhoub) to battle the forces of evil.

“Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” (2002): George Clooney didn’t play it safe with his directorial debut. “Confessions” dramatizes game show host Chuck Barris’ claims that he was operating as an assassin for the CIA in between hosting episodes of “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game.” The resulting film is about as surreal — and gripping — as you would think.

“Adventureland” (2009): A tale of post-graduate confusion and romance set almost entirely in a rundown summer amusement park. Oh, and it’s funny too. Greg Mottola (“Superbad”) directs that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Ryan Reynolds.

“Chef” (2014): Director and star Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”) plays celebrity chef Carl Casper, whose mini-meltdown costs him his job at a top Brentwood eatery. Creatively stagnated, Carl buys a food truck and travels across the country with his young son to rediscover the joys of cooking and parenting. Watch this one with a snack close at hand.
