5 best new Netflix movies and shows to stream this week (Aug. 31-Sept. 6)

This week, Netflix has added an impressive 57 new movies and shows for viewers to enjoy. Among these additions, there are a few standout titles you won't want to miss.

First up is The Gentlemen season 2, an action-comedy series starring Theo James as Edward Eddie Horniman. The former Army captain turned drug kingpin finds himself in a new criminal underworld with the help of Susie Glass and her father, Bobby. If you enjoyed the original film or any Guy Ritchie movies, you'll likely appreciate this thrilling series, just be prepared for plenty of violence and crime.

Next, consider giving Earle Meets World a watch. This reality series follows Gen Z internet sensation Alix Earle, who rose to fame through TikTok and has since become a successful entrepreneur. The show offers a behind-the-scenes look at her family and business empire, which may feel familiar to fans of The Kardashians. If you're into that kind of content, this is definitely worth checking out.

For documentary fans, there are two noteworthy titles. Teenage Wasteland revisits the 1996 student film, Garbage Gangsters and Greed, which exposed years of toxic waste dumping in a New York town. With a perfect 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this thought-provoking film is well worth your time. Meanwhile, Turning Point: Generation 9/11 examines the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and the impact of the War on Terror on daily life, as well as the disastrous final chapter of the war in Afghanistan.

Lastly, wrap up your week with Jared Freid's comedy special, The Family Plan. Filmed like a gripping documentary, this special features topics that are family-oriented but not always family-friendly. With its unique approach and promising content, it's worth a watch.
