Netflix UK added 36 new movies and TV shows this week

There are certainly fewer titles this week than in recent weeks, however the 36 new movies and TV shows added to Netflix UK are packed with exciting new Originals.

And, not to make anyone feel old, there’s a decade gap between a show made in the 2020s about the ’90s and a show made in the late ’90s about the ’70s… Food for thought while millennials contemplate the ’90s to be the equivalent of the ’60s for kids growing up today.

Set in Wisconsin in 1995, it follows Leia Forman, daughter of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon), who visits her grandparents for the summer and joins a new generation of Point Place children under the watchful eye of Kitty and Red’s grim glares.
