Everything Coming To Netflix This Week

Here is your Netflix binge-list for the week, fresh from the Australian servers! This week’s highlights include Stephen King’s supernatural horror flick In the Tall Grass, superhero/sci-fi series Raising Dion, crime drama El Dragón: Return of a Warrior, plus new episodes of Peaky Blinders, Carmen Sandiego, Big Mouth and Rotten.

Read on for everything coming to the service for the week of September 30 to October 6.

This week’s most interesting Netflix Original is probably Raising Dion. It’s about a boy (the titular Dion) who suddenly develops superhero-like powers and the single mother trying to keep him safe.

In the Tall Grass is the other big release of the week – based on a novella by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, it’s about a sinister field of grass in Kansas. Despite the batty premise, it’s been causing a lot of buzz. If you prefer your horror more family friendly, there’s also a new series of Creeped Out to watch with your morbid children.

There are some decent third-party movies coming too, including the post-apocalyptic western The Book of Eli starring Denzil Washington and the overblown but fun Wild Wild West. Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show.
