2 Netflix new releases to watch and 1 to skip this weekend (Sept. 27)

As someone who’s been through more Netflix binge-watching sessions than I care to admit, let me share my thoughts on this week’s new releases.

Even though spooky season has likely commenced for a fair amount of fall and Halloween devotees, it’s still the last weekend of September. On the list of Netflix new releases this week, there weren’t too many spooky options to get into the spirit of the incoming autumnal festivities, but there are still plenty of options to add to your watch list this weekend.

This weekend, shows like “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”, “Uglies”, “The Perfect Couple”, “Rebel Ridge”, and “Emily in Paris” continue to dominate Netflix’s top 10 most popular list. However, the week has also introduced some fresh additions to your viewing options: the documentary series “Mr. McMahon”, the coming-of-age series “Penelope”, and documentaries “Jailbreak: Love on the Run” and “Will & Harper”.

Looking for some assistance in curating your Netflix lineup this coming weekend? Let me share with you three of the most highly-anticipated premieres from this week. Are they all must-sees, or should you pass on a few? Here’s a breakdown to help you decide!

Nobody Wants This

If you’re in search of an engaging, genuinely fantastic romantic comedy series, look no further! The dynamic duo of Kristen Bell and Adam Brody have joined forces in Netflix’s delightful new rom-com titled “Nobody Wants This“. In this contemporary twist on Romeo and Juliet, they portray Joanne and Noah. The challenge for their relationship arises from their contrasting lifestyles – he is a rabbi, while she hosts a sex and relationships podcast, often referred to as a “shiksa”. Will they manage to navigate the complexities of love in this unique setup?

Regardless if no one encourages it, give a try to an episode of “Nobody Wants This” and chances are, you’ll hope for Joanne and Noah to end up together. Created by Erin Foster, this show is based on her real-life experiences and it’s simply irresistible. With its engaging writing, captivating performances, and undeniable chemistry between the outstanding leading actors, it’s hard to find a better choice for a show to watch this weekend that’s as amusing, sincere, and immediately enjoyable.

Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval

Following the end of her talk show in 2022, Ellen DeGeneres is set to appear in what’s being billed as her last stand-up comedy special. The Emmy winner hints that she may be stepping away from the limelight permanently after the release of “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval” on Netflix. Whether this marks her final act or not remains to be seen, but it certainly feels like a poignant farewell.

In this comedy special, Ellen DeGeneres playfully mocks herself while addressing the criticism about her being perceived as mean. Fans of her humor, who appreciate her knack for jokes and anecdotes, should definitely tune in. However, if you aren’t a fan of Ellen or prefer to watch something more uplifting, it might be best to look elsewhere for entertainment. In essence, this special is tailored for those who enjoy Ellen’s comedy, while others may want to pass.
