What's new on Netflix in January 2018

Today I am writing about the most popular new release films and tv shows on Netflix this month including our families top picks.

Are you a fan of Netflix?

If not, maybe it is because your not sure if it is worth paying for. Even though it is less than $15 a month in Australia. I really wanted to be sure before I started paying up. So, I signed up for a free month trial first. I have been using Netflix ever since.

The full Netflix catalogue of films, documentaries, stand up comedy and tv shows including Netflix originals have everyone covered in our home and I  bet your home is no different.

What's popular on Netflix this month?


Popular new movies

  • The Lego Batman movie
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Ride Along 2

Bright

Our Rating: 8/10
Why: I like the story line and if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings or supernatural/Sci-fi, you will like it too.

This is the latest film starting Will Smith as Scott Ward, who is a racist cop in a world where elves, fairies orcs and human's have been coexisting on earth, since the beginning of time. His partner Nick Jackoby, is the first orc cop on the police force played by Joel Edgerton.

While on the night beat they find themselves stumbling upon a young elf girl and a lost relic that is powerful enough to destroy the world, placing the unlikely duo in the middle of a supernatural turf war.

The Good place

Our Rating: 9/10
Why: This is a fantasy comedy that comes straight from the US. It is the funniest and the most well written tv show I have seen in a long time. I love it when a show surprises me with a few intelligently placed twists in the story. It is awesome.

It centres around the character Eleanor Shelstrops after life. Eleanor has been bought into the paradise realm of Heaven. Only problem is that she knows, she's not meant to be there.

If you haven't seen it yet. You are the reason my summary is so vague, but trust me it is only because I don't want to spoil it with the storyline and characters who all help bring the story to life.

  1. Hello Taylor:

    The Good Place is part of so many gifs and screenshots at the moment, I almost feel I've watched the show.

    And Shaun the Sheep! Good choice by the kids! Especially because of the Wallace and Grommit exhibition.

    1. Thank you for commenting Adelaide. I highly recommend watching the good place because I find it so hilarious.
      Yes! Shaun the Sheep is a good fit with the Aardman animation exhibition in Melbourne. It looks like it will be fun and awesome for the whole family. I hope it comes to Brisbane, because I would definitely take the family.
