New on Netflix Australia: Top Picks of April 2024
Ripley
While the world was occupied with wondering when they’d receive the next season of The Crown, Squid Games, and Mindhunter, Netflix has quietly been working on an eight-episode adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s best-selling Tom Ripley novels starring Andrew Scott (Fleabag, Spectre, Sherlock).
Simply dubbed Ripley, similar to the iconic 1999 flick starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Netflix’s limited series will kick things off in New York during the early 60s.Â
Scott’s Ripley is a low-level grifter scraping by when he’s hired by a wealthy industrialist to retrieve his dilettante son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), to return home from Italy. Accepting the job is Tom’s first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud, and yes, murder.
Netflix’s Ripley has been created by the Academy Award-winning Steven Zailian, who famously penned Schindler’s List, Mission: Impossible, Gangs of New York, co-wrote Moneyball alongside Aaron Sorkin, as well as having created HBO’s The Night Of.
Neal Brennan: Crazy Good
In his third Netflix original comedy special, Neal Brennan — one half of the creative geniuses behind Chappelle’s Show — is feeling pretty great and he’s ready to let you know why. True to form, Neal brings his fresh point of view to hilarious topics ranging from crypto and millionaire mindsets, to his ever-evolving views on mental health and relationships.
Animal Kingdom
Young Joshua “J” Cody (James Frecheville) is taken in by his extended family after his mother dies of an overdose. This branch of the Cody clan, overseen by J’s scheming grandmother, Janine (Jacki Weaver), is heavily involved in various criminal activities, and they quickly indoctrinate the boy into their way of life. However, J is given an opportunity to take a different route when a cop named Leckie (Guy Pearce) seeks to help him leave the family fold.
It’s one of history’s greatest Aussie films for a reason (and one of the greatest crime dramas, period). Ben Mendelsohn, Joel Edgerton, and Jacki Weaver at their very finest. ‘Nuff said.
How Are Things Looking For Netflix Australia In April 2024?
The crimson N finished 2023 strong with both original and licensed content, i.e. Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, The Crown season 6 (Part 2) | Everything Everywhere All At Once, Top Gun: Maverick.
Now, they’re easing into 2024 with a quality > quantity mindset.
Suffice it to say, there’s plenty on the streaming service to help justify that Netflix subscription price. Especially now that the company has started cracking down on password sharing.
