Netflix Australia has something for everyone this weekend. Whether you’re a fan of hard-hitting documentaries, killer-shark movies, Japanese animation, period dramadies or family-friendly fare, you’ll definitely find some great content to binge on. Here’s a list of the best Netflix movies and TV shows coming this weekend.
Tonight’s big Netflix release is season 3 of Glow – a comedy/drama about female professional wrestlers in the 1980s. If you haven’t seen it, we advise giving it a shot (starting with season 1, obviously.)
Doco fans should also check out The Family; an investigative expose of the shady Christian fundamentalist organisation The Fellowship and its links to US decision makers. Cult cartoon Rocko’s Modern Life is also returning to Netflix tonight.
On the movie front, the only noteworthy release this weekend is 47 Metres Down – a thriller about killer sharks that’s surprisingly taut and well made. That one drops on Saturday (August 10.)
