It’s the weekend! Welcome to your final daily recap of what’s new on Netflix for the week where we’ve got 13 new releases to cover and check out what movies and series are trending in the top 10s.
In case you missed it, Netflix added 35 new movies and shows for the first of the month, including some huge new movies. Speaking of movies, we’ve picked out some of the best of the week here.
On the removal front, today is your last day to watch Dragonheart: Vengeance (2020) which leaves at midnight tonight. Also leaving Netflix this weekend is the 2021 movie, The Paper Tigers which we’d recommend to Cobra Kai fans in particular.
Only one title is currently planned for the weekend in the form of the SVOD debut of the Sony movie Lyle, Lyle Crocodile.

Based on incredible true story, this movie follows Jessica Watson who sets out to become youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world.
Reviewing the movie for What’s on Netflix, Andrew Morgan ultimately concluded that the movie had some nice moments but didn’t give it a play rating saying, “The story of Jessica Watson is worth a look, but it may prove too generic as a film product for much of its intended audience.”

Netflix has been trying to turn some of its biggest titles into localized versions for other markets. We’ve seen Money Heist exported to South Korea for example and plenty of reality series. Next, its the turn of Elite to be translated and hopefully be big for the Netflix India (and the world) audience.
In the series, consisting of 8 episodes, you’ll follow three students from a poor neighborhood joining an exclusive high school for the Delhi elite where dark secrets and rumors ultimately lead to murder.
Suchin Mehrotra for the Indian outlet, Film Companion, called the series “deeply frustrating” and a “sorely missed opportunity.”
