Just in time for the premiere of Season 9 coming on September 19th, everyone’s favourite british export Doctor Who is coming to Netflix next month.
After a month without a huge amount of big releases, Season 8 of Doctor Who is naturally a big one, being the first season of current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, and featuring the first appearance of Michelle Gomez’ brilliant interpretation of the Doctor’s sworn enemy, the Master, aka ‘Missy’.
Whilst not perfect across the board, it takes the show in yet another whole new direction whilst staying true to what makes the show work for over 50 years. It’s most assuredly worth checking out and also a great kicking off point if you’re new to the show.
Elsewhere, with Wet Hot American Summer coming on July 31st, no doubt that will cover you in terms of comedy if Doctor Who isn’t really your bag of biscuits. Other than that, besides the debut of Netflix original Narcos there isn’t a huge amount of get excited over, with the original content from Netflix themselves once again leading the charge.
(Although, Utopia is joining the service this month. Take it from this British writer who has had the show on TV here for a couple of years. It’s extraordinary)
