Spider-man Far From Home – Picture: Sony Pictures
A busy schedule for Netflix Canada this week meant that 54 new movies and TV shows dropped onto the service this week with some surprises and a great slate of Netflix Original content. Here’s our top three picks and the full list of what’s new on Netflix Canada for the week ending June 18th, 2021.
If you want to look even further ahead, look at the Netflix Originals scheduled for July 2021 and a very early (and a little outdated) guide to July 2021 generally.
Now here are our top three picks of the week:
Fatherhood (2021)
Genre: Drama
Director: Paul Weitz
Starring: Kevin Hart, Alfre Woodard, Lil Rel Howery, DeWanda Wise, Frankie Faison, Anthony Carrigan
We’ll begin with the top-flight Netflix Original release of the week in the form of Kevin Hart’s new movie, Fatherhood.
It sees Hart thrust into an unfamiliar world with him having to raise his young daughter solo after the untimely demise of his partner.
It’s a heartfelt story that’s earned it 71% on RottenTomatoes so far.
Blindspot (Seasons 1-5)
Genre: Action
Cast: Sullivan Stapleton, Jaimie Alexander, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, Ashley Johnson, Ukweli Roach
A surprise drop of television this week with the arrival of all five seasons of Blindspot which aired on NBC between 2015 and 2020 and is distributed by Warner Brothers Television.
Here’s what you can expect from the 100 episodes that just touched down:
“Jane Doe is found in Times Square with no memory and mysterious tattoos on her body.”
Spider-man: Far from Home (2019)
Genre: Superhero
Director: Jon Watts
Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon
A number of regions have been getting this later live-action Spider-man entry in recent months so it’s good to see it finally hit Netflix Canada this week.
With Jake Gyllenhaal playing the role of Mysterio, this entry sees Peter Parker travel abroad but a mysterious threat seems to keep tailing them.
