Outlander Season 7 comes to Netflix

For those of you who can’t be bothered to pay for Starz, but still want to get your dose of time-travel romance, I have good news—the first half of Outlander season 7 is finally arriving on Netflix today.

Final Draft

Netflix loves a physical reality show, and Final Draft marks the streaming platform’s first foray into a Japanese-language version of the genre. Twenty-five former athletes will compete for the ultimate physical and psychological redemption, and the chance to win 30 million yen (˜$200,000 USD) which will help them launch their next chapter. You’ll get just the right mix of emotional backstories and grueling challenges, all mixed into one riveting series.

Jim Jefferies: Two Limb Policy

The Australian American comic is back with his tenth TV stand-up special this Tuesday. Comedy promotions tend to be close to the chest, but the media has teased riffs on tiny mustaches, the challenges of being a straight man, and a critique of careers in “acting”. Netflix has given the special a TV-MA rating, so be forewarned if you’re co-watching with kids, or parents, alike.

Netflix continues adding to its repertoire of Argentinean titles with a crime-drama inspired by series co-director Sebastián Ortega’s El marginal. Following five female inmates who become bonded after a deadly accident unfolds as they are being transported to prison, they must join together in the aftermath and use their unique skills in order to survive “La Quebrada” and it’s different “tribes”.

The Kingdom

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting their own six-part reality series, covering their 2024 season, which marked their failed attempt at the unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat. But that loss to the Philadelphia Eagles won’t deter Swifties on the look out for a possible cameo from the pop star partner of Chief’s tight-end Travis Kelce.

Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser

It’s no surprise that early 00’s reality TV has massive issues in retrospect. Does anyone remember The Swan? But Netflix is bringing together former contestants, trainers and producers to deconstruct the exploitative physical and mental toll the popular televised weight-loss challenge took on those who participated, as well as the impact left on viewers over the course of its 18 seasons on air.

The Echoes of Survivors: Inside Korea’s Tragedies

This latest docu-series serves as a sequel to 2023’s In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal which exposed the true stories of Korean leaders claiming to be prophets. We will get a follow up on the JMS case, including new testimony, as well as three more tragedies with lasting impact on the national psyche. If you like “deeply human investigative storytelling”, as the press-release promises, this is a must-watch.
