Best New Movies and Series on Netflix for July 7th, 2023
We’ll have more highlights throughout the weekend (including taking a look back at the excellent new movie roster added on July 1st), but until then, here are some picks of the new titles added throughout the week:
The Lincoln Lawyer (Season 2 – Part 1)
Number of episodes: 5
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
Cast: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton

Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime
Director: Tyler Spindel

Rounding out the week is a big new action-comedy with many recognizable names and faces.
The movie’s premise is that we’re seeing the wedding of a new couple, with the groom being the manager of a bank that just got robbed. The robbers? Her parents. Awkward.
In our review of the movie, we gave it a PLAY rating, essentially the equivalent of giving it a big thumbs up. We concluded:
“Unless you hate fun, bullet-flying action, and bank robbing, this movie should hit the right spot for audiences craving anything passable from the dying art form of action comedy.”
Hack My Home (Season 1)
Number of episodes: 8
Rating: TV-G
Language: English
Genre: Reality-TV
Cast: Mikel Welch, Brooks Atwood
Runtime: 36 mins
We are rounding out our recommendations with the new reality series that could give you some hacks for your home that you could apply to make life a little bit more comfortable.
Comparable to Queer Eye, the show is hosted by four experts in their field. Mikel Welch is the King of Design, Brooks Atwood hones in on Innovation, Ati Williams knows what’s what in Construction, and Jessica Banks is the Queen of Engineering.
