It’s that time of the weekend again.

Netflix have been on the top of their game so far this year, with plenty of binge-worthy TV series’ and movies landing over the last few months.

Yes, from The Stranger to I Am Not Okay With This, Love Is Blind to Spinning Out, there’s been no shortage of bingeworthy TV shows, films or documentaries arriving on the streaming service in 2020.

Well, we’ve got some good news, because there are plenty of new TV series and movies arriving just in time for the weekend.

So, grab the popcorn and settle in — because you won’t want to miss these.

The Devil All The Time

In Knockemstiff, Ohio and its neighboring backwoods, sinister characters — an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) — converge around young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family.

Spanning the time between World War II and the Vietnam war, director Antonio Campos’ The Devil All The Time is adapted from Donald Ray Pollock’s award-winning novel. Bill Skarsgård, Eliza Scanlen, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Haley Bennett, and Pokey LaFarge all also star in the film.

Criminal: UK

Four new cases, four new suspects, one room that changes everything.

Seeking answers inside the interview room, investigators question suspects over four confounding cases, including alleged rape, abduction and murder.

The Last Word

When her husband suddenly dies after 25 years of marriage, Karla Fazius’ world breaks apart. Unexpectedly and to the astonishment of her family, however, she finds new energy in a new calling: she becomes a professional eulogist.

On her way to regaining her own zest for life, she starts to accompany other mourners, making a great effort to break every single rule in the funeral business. Much to the regret of undertaker Andreas Borowski. At the same time, however, she struggles to overcome her own loss, plunging her family deeper into chaos.

The 6 episodes tell different stories of mourning, death and moving on: Sometimes funny, sometimes sad and always a bit absurd. No matter what others say: death does not have the last word!

Ratched

The suspenseful drama series tells the origin story of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched. In 1947, Mildred arrives in Northern California to seek employment at a leading psychiatric hospital where new and unsettling experiments have begun on the human mind.

On a clandestine mission, Mildred presents herself as the perfect image of what a dedicated nurse should be, but the wheels are always turning and as she begins to infiltrate the mental health care system and those within it, Mildred’s stylish exterior belies a growing darkness that has long been smoldering within, revealing that true monsters are made, not born.
And, in case you’re looking for something to add to your queue for next week, Enola Holmes lands on the streaming service on September 23.

Starring Millie Bobby Brown, Helena Bonham Carter, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin and Louis Partridge, it is a “dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world’s greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister.”

The film follows Enola Holmes who, on the morning of her 16th birthday, wakes up to find that her mother has disappeared — and she’s left behind an odd assortment of gifts, but with no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why.

After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock and Mycroft, both set on sending her away to a finishing school for “proper” young ladies.

Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London. But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord, Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history.
