Everything Coming To Netflix This Weekend (Oct 18)


Netflix Australia is adding a bunch of interesting content tonight and over the weekend, with 15 exclusive movies and TV shows joining the library. A handful of great third-party movies have also romped onto the service, all of which are available to stream right now. Here’s the full list!

Fans of the riveting Italian teen drama Baby have a fresh season to digest this weekend; the series follows the trials and tribulations of elite high school students who get mixed up in Rome’s underbelly of crime and prostitution. If you like crap like The Block, be sure to check out Interior Design Master; a reality series where interior designers compete for a prestigious hotel contract. (I’d rather watch paint dry, but that’s just me.)

We also like the look of Eli; it sounds like a cross between Paranormal Activity and the ‘Bubble Boy’ episode of Seinfeld. Eli drops onto Netflix tonight.

Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show coming this weekend.
