  • As you know, content comes and goes on Netflix. Each week, we’re bringing you a list of titles that you’ll be able to stream in the U.S. in the coming days. As always, dates are subject to change.

    There’s a good chance you’re still working on Orange is the New Black (or maybe you watched it all last weekend), but as usual, Netflix is adding more titles. This time, you can really put yourself to the test, and decide if you want to give that Oldboy remake a chance now that it’s right in front of you and paid for. If not, the original is still available too. In fact, so is Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance – two more great films from the director of the original.
