Outside the Wire – Picture: Netflix
Happy Friday and it’s a packed day of new releases on Netflix with 15 new movies and TV series added today so if you’re planning on spending some time with Netflix this weekend, here’s a look at what’s new. We’ll also take a look at what’s trending on the Netflix top 10s too.
A number of high-profile removals occurred today as well as a large number of Turkish movies. Some of the English titles to leave includes Diana: In Her Own Words, Driven to Dance, Deadly Switch, and Only Mine.
Today is the last chance to watch A Serious Man, Dallas Buyers Club, and the limited series, Waco.
Tomorrow, you can expect at least two new releases including A Monster Calls and Radium Girls – full roundup when they drop.
Now let’s get into what’s new on Netflix for January 15th, 2021.
Outside the Wire (2021)
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi
Director: Mikael Håfström
Cast: Anthony Mackie, Emily Beecham, Pilou Asbæk, Damson Idris
Writer: Rowan Athale, Rob Yescombe
Runtime: 114 min
The first big blockbuster Netflix Original movie just landed on Netflix with Anthony Mackie headlining.
Set in the future you’ll be following a drone pilot being paired with a brand new top of the line android officer who must work together to stop a nuclear attack.
Reviews place the movie in the 50s in most locations with most criticizing the lack of originality.
Penguins of Madagascar (2014)
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Family, Sci-Fi
Director: Eric Darnell, Simon J. Smith
Cast: Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, Conrad Vernon
Runtime: 92 min
One movie we suspect will be dominating the top 10s for weeks to come is Penguins of Madagascar which is a spin-off movie based on the headline Dreamworks franchise, Madagascar.
The spin-off follows Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private out to stop the evil Dr. Octavius Brine.
The Magicians (Season 5)
Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Mystery
Cast: Stella Maeve, Hale Appleman, Arjun Gupta, Summer Bishil
Writer: Sera Gamble, John McNamara
Runtime: 60 min
Although the final season of The Magicians failed to meet expectations for many, with all five seasons now on Netflix, it’s the perfect time to jump in if you haven’t already.
The series follows the students of a magic college which airs first on Syfy.
