5 shows and movies on Netflix to watch this week: Locke & Key and more

A new week is coming, and there is a great selection of content to watch. Not sure which shows and movies on Netflix to pick? We’ve got the top options for various genres.

It’s another week with great content. Netflix has certainly spoiled us throughout October, and the spoiling continues this week. The list can be overwhelming, which is why we’re reducing it to just five of the big picks.

There are some notable mentions though. If you like to wait for CW shows to head to Netflix, Dynasty season 4 is available to binge-watch this week. Alex Hirsch and Shion Takeuchi have teamed up to bring a new animated series called Inside Job. We also can’t overlook the new Spanish reality series hosted by one of the Money Heist stars, Insiders.
