Welcome back to your regularly scheduled rundown of everything new on Netflix. Below, we’ll deep-dive into everything new added to the streamer in the United States over the past seven days plus we’ll look at what’s been trending in the top 10s too.

Looking ahead to the weekend, it’s all-new TV! Tomorrow, the Japanese reality series Timelesz Audition Project begins dropping. On Sunday, you’ll get new batches of Ancient Aliens (S8) and Intervention (S23), plus both seasons of the fantastic Starz series Heels

Check out our preview here for more on what’s coming up for the remaining half of September. We’ve also just updated our list of known titles coming up in October

Now, let’s get into some highlights:


What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

Black Mass (2015)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama
Director: Scott Cooper
Cast: Johnny Depp, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson
Writer: Mark Mallouk, Jez Butterworth, Dick Lehr
Runtime: 123 min / 2h 3m

Added to Netflix midway through the week for the first time to the streamer is the Johnny Depp headlined historical biopic that tells the story of Whitey Bulger, a notorious gangster who was a brother to a state senator. His reign occurred throughout the late 1970s in Boston, and the story intersects with the FBI’s attempts to bring him down. 

Certified Fresh on RottenTomatoes, the movie was praised for Depp’s performance and giving an authentic take on the story. Brandon Davis summarized that sentiment perfectly for ComicBook, who said, “Johnny Depp clocks in for a remarkably terrifying and charmingly sinister performance in an indifferent entry to the gangster film genre.”


Slam Dunk (Seasons 1-8)

Number of episodes: 101
Rating: TV-PG
Language: Japanese
Genre: Animation, Comedy, Drama
Cast: Hisao Egawa, Eriko Hara, Akiko Hiramatsu

Slam Dunk Classic Anime On Netflix

Netflix has had a pretty good year when it comes to licensed anime and that streak continues this week with the surprise addition of the classic basketball series, Slam Dunk with all eight seasons dropping at the beginning of the week. 

The addition of this classic series comes a month after Netflix netted the brand new anime movie, The First Slam Dunk, following its theatrical run. You can watch that without the series, but both are very much worth your time.


Trust (2010)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
Director: David Schwimmer
Cast: Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Liana Liberato
Writer: Andy Bellin, Robert Festinger
Runtime: 106 min / 1h 46m

Did you know David Schwimmer (yes, Ross Geller himself) directed a film? It was news to me. Given that we’re now in the run-up to Halloween, we were surprised to see Trust re-added to the Netflix library.

This crime thriller follows a teenage girl who is targeted online. The movie will be celebrating its fifteenth anniversary next year, and it definitely shows its age, given that it’s based on the technology of the time, which has since become far more sophisticated—and arguably more terrifying. Still, it remains a compelling watch.
