2 Netflix new releases to watch and 1 to skip this weekend (Sept. 20)

As a seasoned gamer and pop culture aficionado with a penchant for binge-watching, I can confidently say that the fall television season is a treasure trove of entertainment options! From broadcast networks to streaming giants like Netflix, there’s simply no shortage of fresh content to indulge in.


The autumn TV schedule is now fully underway, implying that there’s no longer any basis for complaining about a lack of interesting programs to watch. Apart from Netflix, numerous fresh series are making their way onto your television screens, as the major networks unveil their fall lineups, and other streaming platforms joining in with shows such as “Agatha All Along,” “The Penguin,” and “Frasier.

This coming weekend, Netflix has a lineup of three highly anticipated new arrivals set to climb the charts of most-watched shows. Among them is “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” which debuted on September 19th, offering a fresh take on the intriguing story behind the Menendez brothers’ murder of their parents. Additionally, Netflix introduced Zack Snyder’s animated series titled “Twilight of the Gods” and the emotional film “His Three Daughters“.

Are you finding it hard to choose a show from the numerous ones released last week for your weekend viewing? Allow us to assist you by reviewing three of the most popular Netflix releases this week, and offering our recommendations on which ones are worth watching and which ones might not be.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

Take note! Although not everyone might savor Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, I would still suggest this series to those who appreciate crime thrillers. To me, it seems closer in style to Ryan Murphy’s other anthology series American Crime Story compared to Monsters. In fact, a significant portion of the series focuses on the Menendez brothers’ trial.

But nevertheless, it’s another riveting collection of television from the prolific producer. The acting from series leads Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch is nothing short of superb and Emmy-worthy. They, along with Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, will have you feeling and hanging on every word. Skip if true crime isn’t your thing, but otherwise, this one’s a must-watch!

Twilight of the Gods

Feel free to give Zack Snyder’s “Twilight of the Gods” a miss if you’re not particularly interested in Norse mythology or animated series. However, if you’ve been eagerly anticipating this new series, then go ahead and enjoy all eight episodes over the weekend!

Please be aware, “Twilight of the Gods” isn’t a child-friendly animated show. This series carries a TV-MA rating due to graphic content including gore, strong language, nudity, sexual themes, smoking, and violence. If this doesn’t suit your preference for an animated series, you might want to explore other options available on Netflix instead.

His Three Daughters

Don’t miss out! It’s quite rare to see three outstanding actresses from Hollywood share the screen in a single movie, but that’s what Netflix is offering us with “His Three Daughters” on September 20th. In this film, Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne portray estranged sisters reuniting to care for their ailing father. During their journey, they also confront their personal issues.

His Three Daughters honestly sounds like a punch to the gut and a movie that will make you cry. Some viewers love sad movies and some don’t, so proceed accordingly. I’m in the camp of not loving sad movies, but my affinity for talented actresses acting well overrides any disinterest in tears over laughter. For a good, cathartic journey, join me in watching the new movie this weekend!
