- Netflix has a busy week lined up with 11 new releases coming to the streaming service, including a reality show about WWE wrestler The Big Show’s family.
- The two Netflix original movies that stand out this week are Love Wedding Repeat (about a guy who tries not to ruin his sister’s wedding) and The Main Event (about an 11-year-old who joins the WWE).
- Terrace House and Hi Score Girl are returning with new episodes as well.
- Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.
Although I hope that there are those of you out there who get some use out of these features, I will admit that I have been paying extra close attention to Netflix’s new releases every week now that I am stuck inside all the time. It feels like any show or movie could be the next viral hit now that we’ve all quarantined ourselves, and I have a feeling that the Groundhog Day-esque romantic comedy Love Wedding Repeat will find an audience this week.
I also have to recommend Hi Score Girl for those of you adventurous enough to give anime a shot. The second and final season of the show is among the best seasons of television I’ve seen this year.
