Compared to last week, it’s a much quieter week on Netflix UK with 29 new movies and TV shows added to the library. However, if you include all of the Culture Edits added this week, that total tops out at 48! This past week, we’ve seen the return of Outer Banks for a fifth and final season, the exciting new Swedish thriller Blood Sacrifice, a new season of Love Is Blind: UK, and licensed titles such as War of the Worlds and The Wild Robot.
First of all here are the week’s highlights:
Outer Banks S5
The fifth and final season of Outer Banks has arrived as we say goodbye to our favorite treasure hunters, the Pogues.
“Season 5 finds the Pogues at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face a gauntlet of familiar threats. With Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts—and an uneasy alliance with Rafe—to keep from falling apart for good. Their mission is now a desperate race to reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning. It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home…one final time.”
Blood Sacrifice
From the creator of Lupin, George Kay, comes a brand new thrilling crime-drama from Sweden, and it stars Jakob Oftebro and Peter Andersson as Thomas and Alfred Berg, a father-son duo who attempt to crack a series of violent crimes against police officers
Love is Blind: UK
Love Is Blind continues to be one of Netflix’s longest-running and most popular formats in the reality-dating genre. Once again, a brand new batch of hopeful singles takes to the pods as they seek to make a connection deeper than physical attraction, find love, and perhaps even marriage.
