How does Netflix determine which titles leave and which enter its dauntingly large library? Do they carefully analyze viewing statistics and find content that caters to our interests? Or do they simply throw an immense amount of content at the wall and watch what sticks?
The answer is probably a mix of both. Like most entertainment companies, Netflix knows full well the potential of mathematics, but it also respects the creative spirit. As such, some new additions may have been carefully chosen, and others not. In any case, here’s an overview of the 81 new movies and TV shows headed to the platform this coming week.
Let’s begin with the basics. One of the most inoffensive yet well-crafted Hollywood films arriving is Donnie Brasco. Produced in 1997, it stars now-legendary actor Johnny Depp in one of his first lead roles ever, and tells the story of an undercover cop who finds himself relating more to the mob guys he spies on than the police he works for. A familiar story that’s been cleverly executed, it’s worth the watch.
Up next we’ve got the excellent Kingdom. AÂ Game of Thrones-inspired fantasy epic, this Korean drama adds in even greater amounts of magic and mystery to make for an experience that’s nail-bitingly thrilling, to say the least. Though the first two seasons have been available to subscribers for quite some time, the hotly-anticipated third season will be joining them next week.
Elsewhere, there are some great biopics and one that we’re particularly excited about is Frida, a 2002 film which tells the story of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. One of the most renowned painters in modern history and a pivotal figure in the international feminist movement, Kahlo’s art was as intriguing as her life and person.
But that’s only scratching the surface, and below, you can find the entire list of what’s on the way this week:
