Netflix Australia Is Getting Some Killer Content This Week

It might be the end of the month, but Netflix doesn’t believe in resting on its laurels. This week’s highlights include a new paranormal series from the makers of Stranger Things, a polarising adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, Altered Carbon: Season 2 and John Wick: Chapter 3. Read on for everything coming to Netflix from February 24 to February 29

The show to watch this week is I Am Not Okay With This, based on a comic book of the same name by Charles Forsman. It’s about a teen woman (IT‘s Sophia Lillis) who discovers she has superpowers. It was produced by the same team who brought us Stranger Things, so expect good things.

Fans of Altered Carbon finally have a second season to sink their teeth into. There’s also an adaptation of Jennifer Niven’s bestselling novel, All The Bright Places and a fresh Pokémon series for kids and gamers. Not bad, eh? Here are all the synopses and trailers.
