Wave goodbye to a gazillion Netflix favorites as July 2024 sneaks up on us, ready to snatch away a few beloved titles. But fear not, binge-watchers—July’s axe list looks mercifully short compared to what we’ve seen before. The cinematic fat trimming leaves only one TV series in the dust, and for those of you who live for the top movie charts, breathe easy—none of the ousted films make the cut for ‘best movies’ status.
Netflix plays the grim reaper to some heavy hitters though. The fantastical realms of ‘Shrek’ and the cyberpunk edginess of ‘The Matrix’ series will make their exit, so if they’re lingering in your watchlist, the time to watch is now—or at least before the end of July. It seems our comfort viewing is getting a little shake-up, and per tradition, Netflix giveth and Netflix taketh away. No need to panic just yet though, there’s still time to cram in a few last viewings of these legends.
As always, the entertainment titan doesn’t just leave us empty-hearted and popcorn-less. Although some big names are leaving, there’s a promise of new binge-worthy material on the horizon. Like the eternal cycle of TV life, as one show departs, another one blossoms. Keep those remotes ready, and let’s hope the newcomers can fill the Matrix-sized hole in our movie nights.
**Hot Take**
Well, folks, it’s that time again—Netflix is cleaning house, and not subtly either. Say your farewells to ‘Shrek’—no more accidental all-nighters fueled by the dulcet tones of an ogre. And ‘The Matrix’? Gone. Time to find another trilogy for those days you want to question every life choice. As Netflix giveth new titles, it taketh away your favorites. Brace yourselves, and maybe start bonding with whatever’s coming next—just don’t get too attached!
