If you've been wondering which shows have a chance of joining our list of the best Netflix shows or best Netflix movies to stream this week, then you're in the right place.

Every week I look through all the new Netflix Originals joining the world's biggest streaming service that week, to create you a list of the best new Netflix shows and movies to watch.
