This week, we dive into the new additions to Netflix, with a focus on the US region. Prepare for an exciting journey through movies and series that will keep you on the edge of your seat. But here's where it gets controversial... some of these releases might just spark a debate!
First up, let's talk about the highly anticipated movie, 'Frankenstein' (2025). Directed by the legendary Guillermo del Toro, this film is a modern adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel. It tells the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious scientist, and his monstrous creation. With a runtime of 2 hours and 29 minutes, this drama-fantasy-horror blend is sure to leave an impression. Our review gave it a four-star rating, praising del Toro's unique take on the story while also noting some technical hiccups.
Next, we have the underrated gem, 'Soulmates' (Season 1). This anthology series, similar to 'Black Mirror', explores the concept of finding your one true soulmate in the near future. With an incredible cast including Sarah Snook and Bill Skarsgård, each episode follows a different protagonist on this revolutionary journey. Sadly, it didn't get a second season, but its impact is undeniable.
For a dose of comedy and music, 'The Vince Staples Show' (Season 2) is a must-watch. This well-reviewed series follows the rapper Vince Staples as he navigates surreal everyday situations with his signature dry humor. The second season promises a wild ride, with Vince embarking on a quest for inner peace, but will he find it?
