What To Watch On Netflix Australia This Weekend


This weekend is the AFL final. If you couldn’t care less about football, don’t stress! Netflix has plenty of cool content coming tonight – including some tasty genre fare. Here’s the full list!

The Politician is Netflix’s big release this weekend. Starring Ben Platt, Gwyneth Paltrow and
Jessica Lange, it follows the political aspirations of the titular character through a lens of biting satire. Also worth watching is In the Shadow of the Moon; a thriller about a serial killer who can supposedly travel through time.

If you’re in the mood to watch something a little different, consider Sound and Fury. It’s an animated movie about a futuristic samurai that doubles as an extended music video. Country singer Sturgill Simpson produced the soundtrack. Think Love + Death + Robots, but moodier.

Oh, and if you’re a fan of the Emmy-nominated The Good Place, the first episode of the fourth and final season lands on Netflix tonight.

Fire the whole thing into the sun, that’s what we say.

On the other hand, the results do provide a handy shortlist of all the shows you haven’t got around to watching yet. Here are the winners from the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards – and where you can watch them in Australia.”]

Here’s everything dropping this weekend, complete with trailers, release dates and synopses.
