By Sandy C.
Are there any shows or movies you’re planning on watching this weekend on Netflix? Here are four you can’t miss!
The streaming giant introduces new content every week, but this particular weekend is a big one! There are several Netflix Originals coming our way and we’re beyond excited to watch them all. It’s safe to say this is going to be one Netflix-packed weekend!
From one of the last remaining Netflix Marvel series debuting to a mystery drama, the streaming service has it all. So grab a snack and get comfy, here are two shows and two movies not to miss this weekend on Netflix…
The Punisher Season 2
Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) has arrived, guns blazing! All 13 episodes of The Punisher Season 2 are now streaming. Did you stay up late waiting for the new season to drop or do you plan on watching later this weekend? As of right now, the series hasn’t been canceled, but it did just premiere. Fingers crossed, but after the cancellations of Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Daredevil, it’s not looking good.
Carmen Sandiego
I don’t know about you, but right after I finish binging The Punisher, the new animated series Carmen Sandiego is next on the list! This Netflix Original is described as a “modern-day Robin Hood traveling the globe.” Sandiego steals from the company V.I.L.E. and gives back to its victims. Voicing Carmen Sandiego is Gina Rodriguez.

"From the source, the official synopsis is: “Carmen is a modern day Robin Hood traveling the globe and stealing from V.I.L.E. and giving back to its victims. Carmen is publicly perceived as a criminal by most law enforcement agencies – correction, make that a master criminal due to the sheer scale and theatricality of her heists.We will follow her escapades and get to determine not only where but WHO in the world is Carmen Sandiego?”"
Close
If you want to keep the adrenaline pumping after The Punisher, watch Close! The action drama stars Noomi Rapace as Sam, a counter-terrorist expert who is hired to protect Zoe (Sophie Nelisse) a young heiress. The movie, written and directed by Vicky Jewson, is inspired by the real life of Jacquie Davis, “the world’s leading female bodyguard,” according to Netflix.
IO
This sci-fi movie starring Anthony Mackie is one many fans have been waiting for. IO follows Sam (Margaret Qualley) in a post-cataclysmic Earth. Instead of leaving Earth for a safe colony in IO, Sam, a scientist, is determined to find a way for humans to continue living on Earth. When she meets Micah (Mackie), she must decide whether to continue her mission on Earth or board the final shuttle to IO.
