What's Coming to Netflix the Week of August 30, 2020
Would you leave your family for three years to go on a mission to Mars? Normally that would be an easy no, but I havenât been alone since March 11, so the prospect sounds... slightly attractive. If nothing else, I may at least enjoy the experience vicariously with Away, a new Netflix series premiering Sept. 4.
Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank makes her prestige TV debut in the series about a woman who chooses to set off for the Red Planet, leaving her husband and teenage daughter behind on Earth. Drama, tragedy, and much tearful caressing of faces on computer screens ensues, both in space and on the ground. The show comes to us from creator Andrew Hinderaker and producers Matt Reeves (The Martian) and Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), and the trailer promises exactly what you would expect from this scenario and these creators: Parenthood meets Gravity.
Hereâs everything coming to and leaving the streaming service this week, including Iâm Thinking of Ending Things (Sept. 4), a truly trippy-looking new movie from writer-director Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Synecdoche, New York).
