What’s New & Top 10 Movies & Series on Netflix: January 20th, 2023

Fauda Season 4 is now streaming – Picture: Yes Studios / Netflix

Happy Friday, and welcome to an (almost) all international edition of what’s new on Netflix. With that, be warned that if you don’t like international productions, you probably want to look at what else has come to Netflix this week. Don’t mind international titles? Great, here’s what’s new and trending for January 20th, 2023. 

A gentle reminder of some of the removals coming up. If you’re midway through a binge of Prison Playbook, that series expires midway through next week, and zombie fans, Z Nation is due to depart in full next weekend.

There’s not much to talk about what’s new on Netflix over the weekend, except Demon Slayer season 2.

On the air since 2016, Fauda is the big-budget Israeli action thriller akin to Amazon Prime’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Now into its fourth season, the show has been one of the most lauded out of the region in years and is a fan-favorite among Netflixers.

Netflix’s big Friday movie for this week is the sci-fi epic, JUNG_E from director Sang-ho Yeon (best known for Netflix’s Hellbound).

The movie is set in aa post-apocalyptic future and follows a researcher at an AI lab who leads the effort to end a civil war by cloning the brain of a heroic soldier who happens to be her mother.

In our review of the movie, we gave it a PAUSE rating adding, “With some quality action on its edges and enough heart at the core of its central characters, it might be possible to overcome its glaring shortcomings.”
