We haven't seen a Bleecker Street movie on Netflix in a while, but this Wednesday Netflix has added the excellent Daniel Craig which is a perfect replacement until the third movie comes out. knives out The James Bond actor will be seen reprising his role as the spy in the film.

If the box office is teaching us anything right now, it's that most distributors are only being rewarded for known quantities. This seems to be especially true for animation, as Disney is forcing its studios to focus solely on tried-and-tested franchises. Thankfully, Illumination, best known for its work on despicable metried something new with Migration, and while it wasn't a huge hit, it did have something unique to say.
The film, which will be on Netflix for the next 10 months starting Monday, is about the Mallard family who change their regular migration pattern to travel to Jamaica via New York City.
Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy Wars (Season 1)
Number of episodes: 6
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Style: Documentary, Drama, Western
Director: patrick reams
Mould: Ed Harris, Tim Fellingham, Edward Franklin, Jack Gordon, Peter O'Meara, Christian McKay
Rightly or wrongly, the Netflix docudrama has faced a lot of criticism and backlash over the past few years. Whether it's being swept up in the culture wars or being lambasted for being overly dramatic or extremely inaccurate, you might be a little apprehensive about watching this six-part series. Still, we'd recommend you give it a try.
Detailing the legendary feud between Wyatt Earp and Ike Clanton, you'll get a comprehensive retelling of the famous shootout, and so far at least, most viewers seem to love it, no doubt helped by some notable names in its cast.
that dirty black bag (Season 1)
Number of episodes: 8
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Style: Drama, Western
Mould: Douglas Booth, Dominic Cooper, Niv Sultan
Order: 50 minutes
Finally, we end our must-watch selections with one of the newer AMC shows that may not be getting as much attention as it should. So far, only four AMC titles have made the Netflix Daily Top 10 (see below), Dark winds has been the biggest winner so far. Others include Fear the The Walking Dead, Discovery of witchesAnd The Mayfair Witches.There is no Interview with the Vampire which is incredible since that is the only show that TUDUM promoted and Netflix also promoted relentlessly ahead of time.
Well, here we come that dirty black bagAn overlooked Western series that would pair well with that docudrama we just talked about. Set over the course of eight days, this limited series follows two men as they face off in the desert. Gorgeously shot and with writing that will keep you enthralled throughout, and with great performances, this AMC+ Original is not to be missed.
