What’s New on Netflix This Week of Jul 26, 2020
The most important innovations at Netflix this week give you the choice between diving into a turbulent past or gazing into the present. It’s hard to say what offers a sadder vision of the world. Just kidding, this is the second option. Let’s put away the fun and light-hearted first: The Umbrella Academy’s original superhero series returns for its second season on Friday, July 31st, with a story that takes a poignant twist. turn into temporary chaos as the extraordinarily gifted children of the Hargreave family travel through time to escape one apocalypse and face another. They all arrive (individually) in Dallas between 1960 and 1963, where they will influence the Kennedy assassination schedule and possibly trigger a completely different doomsday scenario.
A few days earlier, the premiere of another Netflix Original film, winner of the Polish Film Festival “Hater” award, directed by Jan Komasa, will take place. The plot follows Tomasz, a law school loser hired by a shady PR firm and discovering that his new job involves using the Internet as a weapon: organizing smear campaigns, spreading fake news and, more generally, reducing the world’s security for democracy. To make matters worse, Tomas is not terrified, but finds that he is very good at it. These are kind of dystopian cautionary tales that I loved when they were still cautionary tales and we weren’t living in dystopia. Here’s everything that’s new to Netflix this week and what’s left.
