Netflix Has Bugger All Content This Week

This week's Netflix highlights include Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, a Christmas comedy special from Jack Whitehall and the family film A Family Reunion Christmas. And, er, that's about it.

Netflix seems unusually chill about the emergence of Disney+ in Australia. How else do you explain its almost non-existent lineup this week? Over the next seven days, a grand total of six titles are coming to the service. There are no Netflix Original movies or TV shows either. Literally none.

It's not unusual for Netflix to have one or two quieter weeks during the month but we don't recall ever seeing a lineup this paltry or anaemic before. On the plus side, this means you have a chance to catch up on all the content you haven't got around to watching yet.

Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show. (You could probably get through these in an afternoon.)
