The Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix This Week

The Magician’s Elephant (2023)

Netflix certainly understands the importance of providing family-friendly entertainment in the form of animation. Last year, The Sea Beast performed admirably on the Top 10 charts, and eventually earned a Best Picture nomination. And it looks like the streamer’s top animated contender this year will be The Magician’s Elephant, a movie about an orphan boy named Peter who sets out to find his missing sister. The film stars Noah Jupe, Mandy Patinkin, Natasia Demetriou, Benedict Wong, Miranda Richardson, and Aasif Mandvi.

The Magician’s Elephant was added to Netflix today.

Waco: American Apocalypse (Limited Series)

If you don’t know about the 51-day siege that involved the biggest gunfight ever waged on U.S. soil…well, I’ve got the docuseries for you. Waco: American Apocalypse follows dangerous cult leader David Doresh’s wild standoff with police with never-before-seen footage. The limited series was directed by Tiller Russell.

Waco: American Apocalypse will be added to Netflix on March 22, 2023.

Carol (2015)

Carol is a captivating and poignant love story set in the 1950s between two women (Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara). With stunning performances, exquisite cinematography, and a haunting score, it explores the complexity of human relationships and the courage it takes to follow one’s heart in a world that often seeks to stifle it. The film also stars Sarah Paulson, Jake Lacy and Kyle Chandler.

The Night Agent (Season 1)

With crime dramas all the rage these days, it’s no surprise to see Netflix continue to pile on with its own offerings.

The show also stars Luciane Buchanan, Hong Chau, D.B. Woodside, Enrique Murciano, and Eve Harlow.

Season 1 of The Night Agent will be added to Netflix on March 23.
