Best New Movies & TV Shows on Netflix for September 22nd, 2021
Dear White People (Volume 4)
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Cast: Antoinette Robertson, Logan Browning, Brandon P Bell
Writer: Justin Simien
Runtime: 30 min
Awards: 5 wins & 34 nominations
Today sees the conclusion of Netflix’s Dear White People series which has taken many twists and turns throughout its lifetime but none quite like the fourth volume.
This season takes a rather musical direction which has been controversial but this show takes controversy in its stride.
Jaguar (Season 1)
Genre: Drama, History
Cast: Blanca Suárez, Iván Marcos, Francesc Garrido
Writer: Ramón Campos, Gema R. Neira
Runtime: 42 mins
From the creators of Gran Hotel and Netflix’s High Seas comes Jaguar, a swish period drama set in the 1960s where we follow a Holocaust survivor joining a group of spies to seek justice against the Nazis.
Reviews thus far have been strong from the region suggesting this could be a show that could break out Spain and become a global hit.
Grown Ups (2010)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Dennis Dugan
Cast: Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek, Kevin James
Writer: Adam Sandler, Fred Wolf
Runtime: 102 min
And finally, we’re going to highlight Monday’s addition of Grown Ups. Not everyone is a big Adam Sandler fan and this movie certainly won’t sway you to think otherwise but is still a fun watch for those that do.
The ensemble comedy sees a family looking to connect and do so with a big get-together at Sandler’s characters summer house.
