The Mule is now streaming on Netflix US – Picture: Warner Bros. Pictures.
Welcome to your end-of-week recap of everything new on Netflix in the United States, plus what’s been charting well in the top 10s throughout the week.
Want to look at what’s coming next week on Netflix? There are at least another 23 releases coming up, including The Perfect Find and the new animated series Skull Island.
Best New Movies and Series This Weekend
Over the weekend, we saw a number of great new titles so let’s run through a few of them:
The Mule (2018)
Rating: R
Language: English
Director: Clint Eastwood
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Patrick L. Reyes, Cesar De León
Writer: Nick Schenk, Sam Dolnick
Runtime: 116 min / 1h 56m
The unexpected new release over the weekend is undoubtedly Clint Eastwood’s The Mule, released in theaters five years ago.
Here’s what you can expect from the crime thriller:
“In dire financial straits and estranged from his family, an ornery old horticulturalist becomes a delivery driver for a Mexican drug cartel.”
The movie scored well with critics and audiences alike, with Linda Marric from HeyUGuys citing the cast being the main draw of the film, saying:
“A range of fine performances save The Mule from the age and rage of Eastwood’s later films, Taissa Farmiga, Bradley Cooper and Michael Pena are on fine form, and worth watching.”
Suits (Seasons 1-8)
As we first revealed, Netflix got its hands on one of the best lawyer shows ever. Yes, we’re talking about Suits starring Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, and of course, Meghan Markle.
Set in New York City, the show follows a young lawyer (without a qualification to be there) recruited to a prestigious firm under the guise of Harvey Specter.
Sadly, Netflix didn’t quite get all nine seasons. It’s unclear why season 9 didn’t come to Netflix, but hopefully, it’ll be added long before you complete your first watch or rewatch, depending on which camp you sit in.
TUDUM: A Global Fan Event
Picture: Netflix
Last night, you may have caught the live stream of Netflix’s TUDUM – a fan event that showcased some of Netflix’s upcoming titles, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, One Piece, and 3 Body Problem. We’ve got full event coverage in our roundup piece, but if you want to watch the stars showcase their titles, the show is well worth watching.
Be warned – this title is currently set to expire this week. It’s unclear whether it’ll be converted into just a normal title on the service.
If it should leave Netflix, the live stream will continue archiving on YouTube for the foreseeable future:
