Winter is here bringing with it what it’s best known for, the cold and lots of loadshedding, but when neither are factors, especially the latter, then we can at least Netflix our way through it. Speaking of which, July promises to pack a punch with the streaming service launching its latest action-thriller original film – The Gray Man. Created by the iconic Russo Brothers (responsible for this masterpiece), the story follows the life of the CIA’s most skilled operative, Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling) whose true identity is known to none. In a thrilling twist, a psychopathic former colleague, Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans) puts a bounty on his head setting off a global manhunt by international assassins. Packed with action and an all-star cast, this film will have you hanging on the edge of your seat.
For our local content fanatics, we take a closer look into the life of the famous South African Cricket Captain, Hansie Cronje, in Journey to Grace: The Hansie Cronje Story. An unprecedented rise to glory, followed by the most horrific fall. “How do you start over once you have betrayed a nation’s trust?”.
Other titles to look out for include a new three-part limited series, The Most Hated Man on the Internet, sharing one woman’s crusade to take down a revenge-porn empire, Virgin River: Season 4 and, Manifest: Season 3.
