Jul 16, 2021

If you’re in dire need of some brand new shows and movies to binge then we’ve got good news for you! Netflix have just added a whole host of excellent new titles just for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, the sun might be set to shine this weekend, but that doesn’t mean we still can't get in a few good hours of quality couch time — does it?

Here’s a list of all the new films and TV shows which just arrived on Netflix:

Heist

Emmy nominated director Derek Doneen brings us a new Netflix documentary series chronicling three of the biggest heists in modern American history, as explained by the people who pulled them off.

A 21-year-old woman steals millions in Vegas casino cash. An aspiring father swipes a fortune from the Miami airport… and uses TV shows to learn how to get away with it. A Kentucky dad is accused of one of the biggest bourbon burglaries in history.

Using dynamic re-enactments, original interviews, and a fast-paced style that fits perfectly into the cinematic canon alongside films like Ocean’s Eleven and Catch Me If You Can, directors Derek Doneen (The Price of Free), Martin Desmond Roe (Two Distant Strangers), and Nick Frew (We Are the Champions) each take the helm of a single heist, told over two episodes.

Never Have I Ever: Season 2

In Season 2 of the coming-of-age comedy Never Have I Ever, Indian American teenager Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) continues to deal with the everyday pressures of high school and drama at home, while also navigating new romantic relationships. Never Have I Ever is created by executive producer Mindy Kaling (The Office), with Lang Fisher serving as executive producer, showrunner and writer.

My Unorthodox Life

This series centres around the personal and professional life of fashion mogul Julia Haart – former member of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community turned CEO of Elite World Group. Since taking the reins of a global talent empire, Haart has been on a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out – all while being a mother of four.

A Few Good Men (1992)

Two Marines stand accused of murdering a member of their platoon during an unsanctioned disciplinary action. Hoping to obtain a quiet plea bargain, the Navy appoints young Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) to defend the accused Marines. Though a recent Harvard graduate and possessed of a brilliant legal mind, Lt. Kaffee has spent his life in the shadow of his highly respected father, and lacks any sense of personal conviction. That all begins to change, however, when his committed colleague (Demi Moore) pushes him deeper into the case, particularly in the direction of base commander Col. Jessup (Jack Nicholson, in an Oscar®-nominated role). Defying the Navy's efforts to hush up the case, Kaffee realises he must go to court and risk his professional career.

Attack the Block

From the producers of Shaun of the Dead, Attack The Block is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen street gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters.
