Here is your Netflix binge-list for the week, fresh from the Australian servers! This week’s highlights include a Frankenstein’s Monster comedy starring Stranger Things‘ David Harbour, Suits Season 8, anime Knights of the Zodiac, new episodes of Captain Underpants and a butt-load of great third-party movies.
Read on for everything coming to the service for the week of July 15 to June 21.
The biggest Netflix Original release of the week is Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein: as the title suggests, it’s a highly irreverent take on Mary Shelly’s gothic horror classic in the mould of What We Do In The Shadows. Shot in mockumentary style, it stars everyone’s favourite dad bod David Harbour (AKA Sheriff Hopper from Stranger Things.) There’s also the thriller Secret Obsession, a handful of animated shows and Part 2 of the documentary Last Chance U.
That’s about it for Netflix Originals. Fortunately, there’s a bunch of quality licensed content to help fill in the gaps, including season 8 of Suits, new episodes of The Originals, The Shawshank Redemption, The Town, Happy Death Day and The Goonies!
Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show.
