Best New Movies and Series Added to Netflix This Week

The Long Game (2023)

Rating: PG
Language: English
Genre: Drama, History, Sport
Director: Julio Quintana
Cast: Jay Hernandez, Dennis Quaid, Cheech Marin
Writer: Jennifer C. Stetson, Paco Farias, Julio Quintana
Runtime: 112 min / 1h 52m

Making its streaming debut via Netflix today is a sports biopic that debuted in select theaters earlier this year and caught the imaginations of the audiences that watched it.

The plot revolves around a golfing veteran who takes a chance to get a group of underdog golfers to pick up a club and compete in a highly competitive state competition.

Tickled (2016)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Documentary, Crime, Mystery
Director: David Farrier, Dylan Reeve
Cast: David Farrier, Dylan Reeve, David Starr
Runtime: 92 min / 1h 32m

Netflix has some bizarre documentaries, but there’s no way around it. Trying to take the top spot is the addition of the 2016 documentary that looks to delve deep into the work of competitive tickling. No, that’s not a typo.

If you fancy a David Farrier binge, this addition adds to two others from the Kiwi director that are currently streaming. You’ve got the single season of Dark Tourist, released in 2018, and more recently, we’ve seen the release of Mister Organ.

Exploding Kittens (Season 1)

Number of episodes: 9
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Animation, Comedy
Cast: Suzy Nakamura, Kenny Yates, David Gborie
Runtime: 26 mins

Adult animation on Netflix has had a rough go of it lately, but a new adaptation of the world-famous card game, which even got a Netflix mobile entry in recent years, is hoping to turn Netflix’s fortunes around.

Some early reviews have been mostly positive, with Angie Han for The Hollywood Reporter saying the cast carries most of the humor, concluding that if you’re “looking for light humor, you could do worse than watching Godcat warm to the joys of Whac-A-Mole and Bruce Willis, or strike up a flirtation with Beelzebub over cocktails and Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.”
