Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix for November 3rd, 2022
BLOCKBUSTER (Season 1)
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Comedy
Cast: Melissa Fumero, Madeleine Arthur, Randall Park
Writer: Vanessa Ramos
Runtime: 27 mins
One of the highly anticipated new comedies to hit Netflix in 2022 is Blockbuster, a sitcom set in the last remaining video rental chain store put out of business by Netflix itself.
It comes from great pedigree with some brilliant comedy actors and actresses in roles plus the creator having worked on titles like Brooklyn-99 and Superstore.
Reviews haven’t been particularly kind with the title sitting at a 44 out of 100 on Metacritic right now.
Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune was particularly lukewarm on the series, saying, “Blockbuster on Netflix treats the video rental store itself as a backdrop — a setting — rather than a premise. What a missed opportunity! Video stores have always been such a specific and niche ecosystem, now catering to the dwindling demand for DVDs”
Can Blockbuster defy the current odds of Netflix comedy and make it to a second season? We’ll have to find out in the coming weeks and months.
The Dragon Prince (Season 4)
Rating: TV-Y7
Language: English
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure
Director: Justin Richmond
