Netflix to Add 18 New Titles This Week – Here’s the 3 Most Interesting

Netflix this week (September 9-15, 2024) plans to add 18 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion.

Black Mass (2015)
The film stars Johnny Depp as real-life Boston mobster Whitey Bulger. I wouldn’t call it Depp’s best work, or the best crime drama ever made, but it will hold your interest if you like the genre.

Boxer (2024)
The Polish-made film directed by Mitja Okorn follows a talented boxer in communist Poland who emigrates to England to fulfill his dream of becoming a champion. However, once there, he encounters difficulties both in and out of the ring as he tries to assimilate. I don’t know much about this film, but it’s an interesting premise and a frequent real-life situation with many ambitious but unsophisticated athletes coming to the U.S. and England from foreign lands. Debuts on Wednesday, September 12.

Emily In Paris – Season 4: Part 2 (Netflix Original)
Lily Collins is back as Emily Cooper, the American ingenue who moves to Paris to teach a Parisian marketing firm a few things about American ingenuity. Or so she thinks. Along the way, she encounters irresistible Parisian men, confounding language barriers and other obstacles that only Emily could find. The Netflix original comedy is a feel-good delight with Collins a revelation in the title role; her performance is a throwback to those classic comedic single-woman turns from the 1960s/70s (Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Marlo Thomas in That Girl, etc.). In season four (part one of S4 debuted in August, now available on Netflix), Emily set her sights on Gabriel now that he’s single while making a side trip to another confusing land. The second half of season four will premiere on Thursday, September 12.
