You'll probably look at other "What's on Netflix This Week, Guys?" stories around the web and see endless complaining about a lack of AAA titles this Friday, but we say hogwash! Hidden gems are becoming Netflix's true MVPs, and our lead show this week - the docuseries Losers - is indeed very enjoyable despite the fact that you're only hearing about it now.
