This weekend, Netflix is bringing a bit of everything for all tastes, with a sitcom starring a WWE star, a romantic comedy with a lot of familiar faces, and a drama movie. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, streaming platforms have been working even harder, changing release dates and in some cases limiting the streaming quality to better support a bigger flow of viewers. While some platforms have added content initially intended to arrive in later months, Netflix is sticking to its schedule, and hasn’t made big changes to it.
Last weekend, the platform welcomed a long list of licensed content, among those Can’t Hardly Wait, Just Friends, Angel Has Fallen, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Social Network, Sherlock Holmes, the complete Matrix series, and all seasons of Community. The first week of April also saw the arrival of the documentary series How To Fix A Drug Scandal, the comedy movie Coffee & Kareem, and part 4 of La Casa de Papel (Money Heist). This weekend, Netflix will add a couple of movies to its catalogue, such as the dramas Mine 9 and The Florida Project, and the sci-fi thriller Code 8.
As for original content, this weekend will have a good balance between comedy and drama, with Big Show’s comedy series, a comedy drama with a lot of familiar faces, and a drama movie written and directed by Alan Yang. Here are the best movies and TV shows coming to Netflix this weekend - April 10.
