Here are the best movies and TV shows coming to Netflix this weekend - April 29.
The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes
The newest addition to Netflix’s extensive catalogue of documentaries is The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes. Marilyn Monroe's tragic death spawned conspiracies and rumors for decades, often overshadowing her talent and shrewdness. By piecing together her final weeks, days, and hours through previously unheard recordings of those who knew her best, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe illuminates more of her glamorous, complicated life and offers a new perspective on that fateful night.
Grace and Frankie – season 7, Part 2
Grace and Frankie is coming to an end, and it’s the longest-running Netflix TV series with seven seasons. Seven years ago, Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie's (Lily Tomlin) lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie formed an unlikely and unbreakable bond as they faced uncertain futures head-on and hand-in-hand. They've laughed together, cried together, did shrooms together, and twice-over became successful entrepreneurs together. Now, 94 episodes later, Grace and Frankie continue to show themselves and their families what it means to live life to the fullest, fearlessly, and unapologetically.
Ozark – Season 4, Part 2
The final episodes of the critically acclaimed crime drama Ozark are now available to stream on Netflix. Ozark follows the Byrde family’s journey from their normal, suburban Chicago life to their dangerous criminal enterprise in the Ozarks, Missouri, exploring capitalism, family dynamics, and survival through the eyes of (anything but) ordinary Americans. In the final episodes, Marty and Wendy are rid of Helen and climb to the top of Navarro's empire, and they find another opportunity to get out of the Ozarks, but some past sins won't stay buried and the most dangerous threats come from blood.
