DUBAI: If you plan on staying in this week, here is what to watch.
Medal of Honor
Starring: Joe Martorano, Jake Abel, Tyler Williams
Where: Netflix
An original docuseries that includes liveaction footage. “Medal of Honor” tells the story of eight recipients (three of whom are still alive) of the US military’s highest award for valor — ranging from veterans of World War II and Korea, through Vietnam to Afghanistan.
Westside
Starring: Pia Toscano, Taz Zavala, James Byous, Leo Gallo
Where: Netflix
Reality show following nine struggling musicians in Los Angeles (“struggling” being relative... one of them placed ninth in “American Idol” and a few others have had songs released...). Think “The Real World” crossed with “... Got Talent.” If you can bear to do that.
Outlaw King
Starring: Chris Pine, Florence Pugh, Billy Howie
Where: Netflix
Netflix bills this movie as the “true story of Robert the Bruce,” the Scottish hero who resisted the occupation of Scotland by the English. We don’t know if that means ‘true’ in the sense of ‘historically accurate’ or more in the not-so-true “Braveheart” sense.
Narcos: Mexico
Starring: Diego Luna, Michael Pena, Teresa Ruiz, Alyssa Diaz
Where: Netflix
This spin-off from the wildly popular and acclaimed crime drama series sees the action shift from Colombia to the illegal drug trade in Mexico, charting the rise of the Guadalajara cartel, which DEA agent Kiki Camarena attempts to prevent.
Warrior
Starring: Dar Salim, Danica Curcic, Lars Ranthe
Where: Netflix
Danish-language crime drama that tells the story of war veteran CC as he teams up with his best friend’s widow, police officer Louise, to infiltrate a dangerous biker gang.
