Everything New On Netflix This Week, Including 'Thunder Force'

Netflix brought viewers much joy (and much-needed joy, at that) for the past year while humanity endured the greatest challenge of the past century. We’re not out of the woods yet, so the good news is that Netflix has a little something for almost everyone this week. If you’re looking for comedy, then a Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer pairing has you covered there. If you’re into intrigue and bizarre, not-solved crimes, then there’s a great heist-focused limited series. If you want to laugh at people who spend too much weddings, then there’s that as well, and everyone could use a little more Dolly Parton in their life, so no complaints there. As usual, there’s far too much going on here, and we’re fortunate to have it.

Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) the streaming platform this week.

Thunder Force (Netflix film streaming 4/9)

Don’t expect this movie to win any awards because that’s not the point. Instead, prepare for the silliest of moments from Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer as two inept superheroes who fight crime, long after their childhood best-friend days, and together, they learn what it’s like when two ordinary people are suddenly tasked with stopping supervillains. In other words, sit back and embrace the chaos because there’s plenty of it coming your way. The supporting cast includes Bobby Cannavale, Pom Klementieff, and Melissa Leo. Plus, Jason Bateman is onboard, which instantly makes any movie or TV show better

The Wedding Coach (Netflix film streaming 4/7)

All of those cancelled weddings from last year are going to have a spiritual reawakening with this show, which dives into the hell of planning. Comedian Jamie Lee piggybacks from her own wedding to help couples “survive” the ridiculousness of “Big Bridal.” It’s real talk with Lee attempting to help people see the bigger picture.
