DUBAI: Planning a night in? Here is what to watch on Netflix this week.

Nailed It! Mexico
Starring: Omar Chaparro, Anna Ruiz
Where: Netflix
Like some kind of anti- â??Great British Bake-Off,â?? â??Nailed It!â?? searches out terrible bakers and then asks them to recreate masterpieces and compete for a $10,000 prize. As the Netflix promo material promises, â??Itâ??s part-competition, part hot mess.â?* Mostly the mess part though.


High Flying Bird
Starring: Andre Holland, Zazie Beetz, Melvin Gregg, Bill Duke
Where: Netflix
Steven Soderbergh directs this sporting drama shot on a smartphone. Holland plays Ray, a basketball agent whoâ??s acquired this yearâ??s number one draft pick â?? but thereâ??s a pay dispute between players (mostly black) and the NBA (mostly not black) to be negotiated. Guess what saves the day in this Netflix drama? Streaming…


Dirty John

The American comedian, and former â??Daily Showâ?* contributor, who comes from an Indian Muslim family, hosts this satirical comedy show that aims to â??explore the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity,â?* according to the press release.
