New on Netflix today: a comic who talks fast, a dating show that beat Squid Game, and Emeril's gumbo

Three additions landed on Netflix US on July 7, plus two titles you have one day left to catch.

The pick of the day: Jeff Arcuri's debut special

Jeff Arcuri: Nice to Meet You is out now, Arcuri's first Netflix hour after several years of climbing from 200-seat clubs to sold-out theater runs on the strength of his crowd-work clips.

• Taped across five sold-out shows at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, the hour mixes his usual rapid-fire crowd work with an unusually personal thread: making his wife, Katie Thurston, laugh through her cancer treatment.
• Who it's for: fans of observational, high-energy stand-up in the Bargatze/Chappelle-adjacent mainstream comedy lane, not alt-comedy or political material.
• Critical consensus: none yet. The special dropped today and Rotten Tomatoes shows zero reviews so far, this one will have to be judged on the jokes, not the aggregator.

Also new today

• Better Late Than Single, Season 2 (Netflix Original, Korean reality), the makeover dating series for lifelong singles in their 20s and 30s returns with a new cast; season one climbed past Squid Game Season 3 on Netflix's own Korea charts, so expectations are high. Good for reality fans who like earnest, low-conflict dating shows over manufactured drama.
• Emeril Cooks (Season 1, unscripted), a notable licensing first: this is the initial time a Roku Channel original has come to Netflix US, bringing Chef Emeril Lagasse's tour of New Orleans food culture to a much bigger audience. Fine comfort viewing for cooking-show fans, not in the same league as Chef's Table.

Also dropping new episodes today

Regular weekly installments landed for WWE NXT, Beat Bobby Flay, Bake Off: The Professionals, and The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. None of these are new titles, just the next episode in an ongoing run, so treat them as background noise unless you're already watching.

Leaving soon: watch these before they're gone

• The Roommate (2011) and Major Grom: Plague Doctor (2021, Netflix Original) both leave Netflix US today, July 7. If either is in your queue, this is the last call.
• Silent House (2011) leaves tomorrow, July 8.
