New to Streaming: What to watch on Netflix NZ, Neon and more this week

We round up everything coming to streaming services this week, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, ThreeNow, Neon and TVNZ+.

The Good Daughter (Neon, November 13)

Created by bestselling author Karin Slaughter and based on her novel of the same name, the compelling The Good Daughter sees the Oscar-nominated Rose Byrne and The White Lotus’s Meghann Fahy star as estranged sisters Charlotte and Samantha Quinn. Twenty years on from a violent attack on their family, the two have tried their best to piece their lives back together, but when another horrifying tragedy occurs in their hometown, they’re caught in the crossfire. If you’re a sucker for a simmering southern gothic, The Good Daughter is the TV show for you.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Prime Video, November 11)

Set five years after the events of the second season and the fall of the Elven realm of Eregion, this latest season of The Rings of Power sees Sauron’s (Charlie Vickers) armies having conquered much of Middle-earth. He hasn’t yet forged the One Ring, and only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory, so it’s up to the free peoples of Middle-earth to come together to stop Sauron. “The visual splendour of this rich, gorgeous Tolkien drama will make you gawp throughout,” so be sure to tune in to The Rings of Power.

Heartland (Netflix, November 13)

Set in the sordid underbelly of Nashville and featuring Oscar winner Jessica Chastain, Oscar-nominee John Hawkes, and country singer Carter Faith, the mystery thriller Heartland follows Chastain as Misty Jones, a reclusive country music legend who comes out of a 20-year seclusion in search of her missing niece. In a city jam-packed with secrets and scandals, Misty must face her past and race against the clock to save her niece before Nashville swallows them whole. Also starring Ross Lynch and Garrett Hedlund, Heartland is one to watch even if you’re not a country music fan.

The Goldbergs (TVNZ+, November 13)

Taking place in 1980s Pennsylvania, this amusing ten-season TV sitcom stars Sean Giambrone as Adam F. Goldberg, a childhood version of The Goldbergs creator. He’s a geeky teenager who documents his dysfunctional family's chaotic lives using a VHS camcorder. His mother Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey), is overprotective, and his father Murray (Jeff Garlin), has a bit of a temper. Adam also has to contend with Erica (Hayley Orrantia) and Barry (Troy Gentile), his two older siblings. Rife with 80s nostalgia, this “finely tuned comic contraption” is good for the soul.

12 12 12 (Apple TV, November 13)

In the thrilling 12 12 12, Anthony Mackie is a disgraced FBI agent and Jamie Dornan an American career criminal who’s plotting to rob a subterranean Zurich bank vault. The two face off in a Europe-wide game of cat and mouse that unfolds across the three hair-raising timelines of a heist; the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist, and the 12 days following the heist. With shades of Money Heist, this white-knuckle TV show is sure to have you on the edge of your seat.

Pick of the Flicks: Power Ballad (Neon, November 9)

Helmed by Sing Street’s John Carney, the deft Power Ballad follows Paul Rudd's Rick Power, a washed up wedding-singer. His dream of stardom has long since dissipated, but that all changes when he crosses paths with Nick Jonas’s Danny Wilson, a former boyband star. They begin an unlikely bromance that ends with Rick’s newfound friend stealing and turning the original song that he played for him into a hit single that launches his comeback. Described as “solid, sweet and smartly crafted entertainment,” Power Ballad is bound to be a pitch-perfect watch.
