JHB West - July 2020

Shows we’re watching on Netflix this month
If you love your murder mystery
docs, Unsolved Mysteries (S1) will
be up your (dark and deserted) alley.
This 12-part docu-series show uses
re-enactments in a documentary
format to profile real-life mysteries
and unsolved crimes, lost love,
cases involving missing persons and
unexplained paranormal events.
The Old Guard follows a group of
soldiers led by Andy (aka our very own
Charlize Theron). Pack members are
immortal mercenaries who’ve seen a
lot over the centuries, and now they’re
pretty bored with life in general. But
things start to get interesting when
they discover a new immortal is
serving in the US Marines ... and when
their undying existence is captured
on camera by a murky organisation,
events start to spiral out of control.
Reunited by their father’s death,
estranged siblings with extraordinary
powers uncover shocking family
secrets – and a looming threat to
humanity. The White Violin, Spaceboy,
The Kraken, The Rumor, The Seance
and The Boy are all coming back for
the second season of The Umbrella
Academy. This quirky superhero
show follows the dysfunctional,
superpowered Hargreeves children
who reunite to solve the mystery of
how their father died.
Cable Girls is returning for a fifth
and final season. The series revolves
around how four young women’s lives
change when they start working in the
modern telecommunication company
in Madrid. Every one of them has
distinct difficulties but also has a close
friendship with one of the group.
Based on real incidents – a woman
escaping a cult, a refugee fleeing
with his family, a father trapped in
a dead-end job and a bureaucrat
on the verge of a national scandal.
Inspired by true events, these people
find their lives intertwined in an
immigration detention centre. A
gripping six-part series, Stateless is
not-to-be-missed.
