What To Watch On Netflix This Weekend


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 either recently added, or are due to appear over the next few days. That’s your weekend viewing sorted!

The biggest new release is undoubtedly The Spy – a star-studded biopic about Mossad spy Eli Cohen starring Sacha Baron Cohen (no relation). There’s also season 3 of the documentary series Hip-Hop Evolution, new episodes of the Spanish teen thriller Elite and the political action flick Olympus Has Fallen.
