In just over a week, we’ll be halfway through 2015. It’s a terrifying thought, but thankfully Netflix is dumping a wide selection of movies and shows on its service to distract us from the unstoppable march of time. Some of the highlights this month include Changeling, Grandma’s Boy and Creep.
As always, there are also a few Netflix originals to look out for, including Knights of Sidonia and Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp.
