Netflix Australia Is Adding Some Great Movies This Week

Here is your Netflix binge-list for the week, fresh from the Australian servers! This week’s highlights include season 2 of Samantha!, Simon Pegg sci-fi comedy The World’s End, two original documentaries, Olivier Stone’s gritty crime thriller Savages and a bunch of fan-fave movies.

Read on for everything coming to the service for the week of April 15 to April 21.

This week’s Netflix lineup is conspicuously light on TV shows – apart from the ongoing Star Trek: Discovery, the only new Originals on offer are My First First Love and Samantha! season 2. We suppose this makes sense when you consider Game Of Thrones launched this week – a show that’s guaranteed to steal all the thunder.

Fortunately, there’s a bunch of great third-party content to help make up the shortfall, including Bridget Jones’s Diary and its sequel, King Kong, Oblivion , The Adjustment Bureau and the aforementioned movies above. Read on for everything coming to the service this week, complete with synposes and trailers.
