A busy week with titles arriving on Netflix from all over the world, and below, we’ll break down what we’re looking forward to watching this week, in addition to looking into all the weekly arrivals and some of the major departures.
A number of removals this week, including the Netflix Original series LA Originals, Megan Leavey (aka Rex), Scream, A Quiet Place Part II, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and the bizarre 2023 short starring Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal titled Strange Way of Life.
Let’s waste no more time, here’s what we’re looking forward to watching on Netflix this week:
Kill Tony: Kill or Be Killed
Added to Netflix: Monday
Netflix’s continued expansion on picking up YouTube shows to bolster its own library continues this week with the first of at least three Killy Tony episodes landing on Netflix. The synopsis for the new special reads, “A bucket, a mic, and one minute to win over Tony Hinchcliffe and a panel of famous guests. This is stand-up at its most unforgiving — and unpredictable.”
This first episode runs for 2 hours and 11 minutes and features Tom Segura (as Elon Musk), Adam Ray (as Joe Biden), Joe Rogan, and Shane Gillis (as Donald Trump) as part of the panel with many familiar faces from the YouTube show picked out of the bucket this time.
There’s been some controversy about Netflix “platforming” a comedian like Kill Tony, particularly after comments made at a Trump rally last year, referring to Puerto Rico as an island of garbage. There have been calls for Netflix to drop the deal, including from commentators and numerous petitions that have surfaced since the deal was announced. Netflix’s co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, has been steadfast in the past with regard to allowing comedians to have the ability to offend in their material, something I can, for the most part at least, get behind.

Black Mirror (Season 7)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Black Mirror is one of my absolute favorites, and after being on our screens for fourteen years now, it’s finally coming back for possibly the most anticipated new season to date. Returning to its roots, this season features an eclectic mix of new technology-focused stories with not one but two follow-up sequels, including Bandersnatch and, of course, USS Callister. That’s not even mentioning the huge cast assembled for this new season.
As a reminder of what you can expect, here are the episode titles and some of the biggest stars to feature:
- Common People (Rashida Jones, Chris O’Dowd, and Tracee Ellis Ross)
- Béte Noire (Rosy McEwen and Siena Kelly)
- Eulogy (Paul Giamatti and Patsy Ferran)
- Plaything (Peter Capaldi and Lewis Gribben (+Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry))
- Hotel Reverie (Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, and Awkwafina)
- USS Callister: Into Infinity (Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson)
Resident Playbook (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Saturday
Fans of medical dramas have been fed well on Netflix for the past few months. We first got the Spanish series Breathless (aka Respira), which has been renewed, and just last week, we got the new US series PULSE, which has been picking up mostly good reviews from critics and audiences alike. Serving as a follow-up of sorts to the beloved K-drama Hospital Playlist, this new weekly series will begin this weekend following first-year OBGYN residents at Yulje Medical Center navigating their work and personal lives in the persuit of becoming exceptional doctors.
