Summer is here! The perfect time to stay at home and watch Netflix movies with the aircon on full blast.
If you’re one of those who don’t have any particular plans to head to the beach with friends in the coming weeks, here’s a bunch of new Netflix shows you can catch instead.
The Silence
If you loved A Quiet Place, you’ll definitely like The Silence. It takes place in a world facing the apocalypse as humans are being tormented by creatures who hunt by sound. It’s based on a horror novel of the same name by Tim Lebbon and stars Kiernan Shipka, Stanley Tucci, Miranda Otto, and John Corbett.

Someone Great
We’re familiar with the usual story about a girl gang going on a spontaneous, adrenaline-filled adventure to wherever, and Someone Great is giving us the same kind of plot but making it somewhat more relatable to the young millennials just trying to navigate adulthood.
This film follows aspiring music journalist Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) who just landed her dream job at an iconic magazine and is about to move to San Francisco. However, this leads to her boyfriend of nine years (Lakeith Stanfield) to suddenly call it quits. To nurse her broken heart, Jenny gathers up her two best friends Erin (DeWanda Wise) and Blair (Brittany Snow) for one outrageous last adventure in New York City.
