by Nick FitzgeraldSit back and relax because Netflix has got you covered
It's Friday and that means after the working day the weekend begins so throw your feet up on the couch, sit back and take a look at what Netflix has in store.
The latest coming to the streaming platform is:
Space Force
A decorated pilot with dreams of running the Air Force, four-star general Mark R. Naird (Steve Carell) is thrown for a loop when he finds himself tapped to lead the newly formed sixth branch of the US Armed Forces: Space Force.
Sceptical but dedicated, Mark uproots his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado where he and a colourful team of scientists and “Spacemen” are tasked by the White House with getting American boots on the moon (again) in a hurry and achieving total space dominance.
Snowpiercer (Episodes 1&2)
*New episodes every Monday
In this futuristic thriller, the world has become a frozen wasteland, and the remaining humans inhabit a giant train that perpetually circles the globe.
Class warfare, social injustice and the politics of survival play out in this riveting television adaptation. The series is based on the graphic novel series and film from Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho (Parasite).
Seven years after the world has become a frozen wasteland, all remaining life lives aboard the massive Snowpiercer. 1001 cars long, the Snowpiercer circles the globe endlessly, divided into classes, with the rich elites up front and impoverished "tailies" in the back.
Snowpiercer tells the story of what happens when those who have been oppressed their whole lives decide to resist, rise up, and revolt.
I'm No Longer Here
In the mountains of Monterrey, Mexico, a small street gang named “Los Terkos” spend their days listening to slowed down cumbia music and attending dance parties, showing off their outfits, hairstyles and gang alliances.
These different bands of disaffected youth refer to themselves as Kolombianos, combining the Cholo culture with Colombian music. Ulises Samperio (17), the leader of Los Terkos, tries to protect his friends from the nefarious elements of a quickly evolving drug/political war, but after a misunderstanding with a local cartel, he is forced to leave for Jackson Heights, Queens, a diverse immigrant community in New York City.
Ulises tries to assimilate, but when he learns that his gang and the whole Kolombia culture is under threat, he questions his place in America and longs to return home.
Hannah Gadsby: Douglas
Emmy and Peabody award winning comedian Hannah Gadsby stopped the comedy world in its tracks with her genre bending show, Nanette.
Having given herself her very own tough act to follow, she named her difficult second album after her eldest dog and took it for a walk across the planet, finishing up in Los Angeles and recording her second Netflix comedy special, Hannah Gadbsy: Douglas.
You can expect your expectations to be set and met by Douglas: a tour from the dog park to the renaissance and back guided by one of comedy’s most sparkling and surprising minds.
