We’re seemingly going through 2021 in a quick and swift manner with another new month approaching, and as always with it comes new Netflix goodies to look forward to. April is full of exciting content across shows and films that are geared towards keeping us glued to our screens. First up, Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy are two badass superheroes in the new action-comedy movie – Thunder Force, a superhero movie that will leave you in stitches as they buddy up to fight crime.
Dead Places, a proudly South African original action-packed series, follows a paranormal detective (Will Stone) as he returns home to investigate a series of supernatural occurrences for his new book. It doesn’t end there as the next Netflix new-age fantasy franchise, Shadow and Bone will have us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free.
