In the six episodes, Bana plays a special agent named Kyle Turner who is not so sure that the corpse found at the base of El Capitan is the result of an accident.

The classic summer jaws of Steven Spielberg fell on Netflix this week, and with the shark week just at the corner of the street, there is no better time to review the classic history of a police chief (Roy Scheider) on a mission to destroy the killer shark terrorizing the local waters around the city of Amity. The three (less notable) suites of the film also arrived this week, but the 1975 original is the one to watch. Music, indelible performances (Robert Shaw as a Quint is graying perfection), and even picturesque animatronics add up to the perfect summer film.

Apocalypse in the Tropics is the latest documentary film by Petra Costa, whose previous work includes the 2019 Oscar nominated film, The Edge of Democracy, which is also available on Netflix.

The film, which spent four years in preparation, arrived on July 14.
