Netflix’s headline new Netflix Original for the week stars Ozark’s Julia Garner in this already well-reviewed miniseries based on a true story.

You can never go wrong with a good action movie and among the very best in the genre is Sicario which is directed by Denis Villeneuve who made waves in 2021 with the release of Dune.
The Lionsgate movie is about an FBI operating in the seemingly lawless underbelly of the United States to try and poor cold water on the tensions from the escalating drug war.
Everyone puts in a sublime performance in this movie.

Our final highlight for Netflix UK is, sorry, another action movie which was released in 2020 but the chances are you haven’t gotten around to watching it.
The movie sees Netflix’s GLOW star Betty Gilpin feature in this twisted horror movie that’s produced by Blumhouse.
Here’s what you can expect:
“In this dark horror satire, wealthy elites hunt innocent ordinary citizens for sport — until one of them turns the tables on her pursuers.”
