What to watch on Netflix this weekend (Aug. 30): Breathless, KAOS, and more

As a Netflix enthusiast with years of binge-watching experience under my belt, I must say that this weekend is shaping up to be quite the cinematic extravaganza! The combination of Greek mythology chaos in KAOS, the high-stakes drama of Breathless, and the spine-tingling horror of The Deliverance offers a tantalizing trio of options for viewers seeking an engaging weekend escape.


We’re nearing the end of August now, which means autumn is just around the corner! Although the weather isn’t quite there yet, Netflix has already revealed its lineup for fall movies and continues to announce upcoming series returns throughout the year. But before we dive into all the exciting new content coming soon, let’s enjoy these last days of August first.

This coming weekend marks not just the end of August but the beginning of September, and a fresh month usually means an abundance of new movies on Netflix! The platform has launched two fresh series that everyone is excited about – the dark comedy based on Greek mythology titled KAOS, and the Spanish medical drama named Breathless. Additionally, the new anime series Terminator Zero will be available this week, as well as Adam Sandler’s latest comedy special, called Adam Sandler: Love You.

If you’re seeking some top-notch premieres to watch on Netflix this weekend, let’s kick off our recommendations with an exclusive Netflix series featuring a well-known main star!

KAOS brings Greek mythology chaos

Straying from their traditional portrayals, Greek deities get a modern twist in the series “KAOS”! Unlike the debaucherous and lively depictions seen in Netflix’s limited series “The Decameron” last month, this show, starring Jeff Goldblum and Janet McTeer, offers a darkly comedic take on Greek mythology. It delves into themes of power, greed, and corruption, all while maintaining an easy-going pace over its eight 45 to 50-minute episodes – ideal for a thought-provoking weekend binge-watch!

The doctors are in on Breathless

Instead of revisiting Grey’s Anatomy or New Amsterdam this weekend, consider giving Netflix’s new Spanish medical drama Breathless a try instead. This gripping series is produced by the creators of Elite, so you can expect plenty of suspenseful drama throughout its eight episodes. Plus, there’s a hint of romantic tension to keep things interesting! The show revolves around a hospital and its staff as they confront public health issues when a high-profile patient arrives. It’s both entertaining and thought-provoking!

Have a spooky movie night with The Deliverance

Although Halloween is still a few weeks away, there’s no harm in getting into the holiday mood early! After all, being prepared means you’re always ready to celebrate. This coming weekend, Netflix premieres the supernatural horror thriller “The Deliverance“, directed by Lee Daniels. The film features an impressive cast including Andra Day, Glenn Close, Anthony B. Jenkins, Caleb McLaughlin, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Mo’Nique. The story revolves around a family experiencing strange, demonic activities in their new house.

…or one of the many new movies on Sunday, Sept. 1

It appears that none of the previously mentioned titles are suitable for family viewing with young children. However, on September 1st, Netflix is adding more than a dozen new movies, offering a variety of choices. Among them, you’ll find family-friendly options such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Field of Dreams, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Shark Tale, and Wallace & Gromit. For those who enjoy reminiscing, there are also throwback movies like 300, Along Came Polly, Expendables 1-3, Jaws (1-3), Magic Mike, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High being added to the platform.
