Netflix Australia: This Week’s Best New Movies And TV Shows


Each month, Netflix adds tons of new movies and TV shows to its library. Here are our top ten picks for this week and the next. Server fresh!

We’ve already listed everything coming to Netflix this month – but separating the critical gems from the box-office duds can be tricky. To save you the trouble, we’ve shortlisted the best movies and TV shows that were added in the past week or are due to appear over the next seven days.

The most recent additions to the service include the hotly anticipated second season of 13 Reasons Why, David Lynch’s mind-bending psychosexual thriller Mulholland Drive, the appropriately-timed romantic comedy Mother’s Day and an all-new standup routine from bad-taste queen Ali Wong.
