So far, 2024 has seen everything from a cult favorite sci-fi comedy to a forgotten Alexander Skarsgård and Margot Robbie film hitting the Netflix Top 10 charts. Frankly, it was nice to see something other than Kevin Hart's "Lift" in the charts, as this most recent effort from the standup star seems to be the latest in an endless supply of middling streaming movies that somehow come to dominate Netflix's most-watched rankings. Thankfully, Hart has now departed the charts to make way for more popular films and TV on Netflix, and this month there's a particular Canadian franchise that's managed to capture viewers' attention.

Code 8: Part II, directed by Jeff Chan, delves into the current state of corruption in Lincoln City. It portrays a corrupt police sergeant named Kingston who masquerades as a do-gooder, serving the community’s interests while secretly collaborating with Psyke drug producer Garrett and his cohorts to make extra money on the side. The storyline highlights how individuals with mutant powers seeking employment in the manufacturing sector face discrimination from the Lincoln City Police Department’s (Lcpd) new robotic officers known as Guardians.

In response, the police consider reducing the number of Guardians and integrating non-lethal robotic dogs to maintain order. Kingston happens to be the producer of these robotic dogs. The exploration of Kingston’s character’s evil deeds and abuse of power serves as a central theme in the movie, shedding light...

Catching up on Netflix queues has become something of a national pastime over the last few weeks, and there’ve been some surprising titles ranking highly in the platform’s top content. Speaking of which, with the streamer continuing to add more material to its library, it’s perhaps a shock that Code 8, an underrated and under-seen sci-fi flick, is currently the number one movie on Netflix’s top ten.
For those not aware, Code 8 is a 2019 Canadian film written and directed by Jeff Chan, who adapted his own short into a feature-length production. The picture notably stars Stephen Amell of Arrow fame, as well as his cousin Robbie Amell, who were also involved in the original 2016 short. Indeed, the success of Code 8 may have something to do with the massive fundraising effort from fans to get the feature-length version of the short made, with over 30,000 backers named in the credits.

I don’t know if you remember or not, but back in 2016 Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Robbie Amell (The Flash) launched a Kickstarter for a sci-fi film called Code 8. Fast and Furious actor Sung Kang also stars in the film.
Today we have a new clip for the film called “Psyke Raid” and it features a team of police officers raiding an apartment complex and as you might expect things get out of hand. It looks like it could be a cool flick and I’m looking forward to seeing more.

That leaves Connor Reed, played by The Flash star Robbie Amell, as a powerful young man struggling to pay for his ailing mother's medical treatment.
