Netflix’s New R-Rated Hit Is the Perfect Weekend Binge This Month

Netflix’s June line-up is packed with great content. Alongside the usual rotation of classic titles getting their Netflix debut and a host of content for the FIFA World Cup, the most famous streamer in the world is also offering plenty of fresh and returning movies and shows to keep subscribers glued to their screens. This includes some new reality TV chaos in Outlast: The Jungle, the latest in a long line of Harlan Coben‘s binge-worthy thriller adaptations, I Will Find You, and the brand-new romantic comedy Office Romance, starring Ted Lasso favorite Brett Goldstein and Jennifer Lopez.

Also starring in the JLo film are the likes of Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, Mary Wiseman, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford, and many more. Office Romance boasts “connection, charisma, compatibility, and chemistry” aplenty, according to director Ol Parker in a conversation with Collider. New to Netflix this weekend, it is sure to find its way to the upper-echelons of the streaming charts. However, it won’t be the only romantic comedy at the top, with another new arrival on Netflix also proving very popular.

The film in question is Ladies First, director Thea Sharrock‘s adaptation of the French film Je ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile (I Am Not an Easy Man). Starring the brilliant Rosamund Pike and Borat himself, Sacha Baron Cohen, alongside a supporting cast that includes Richard E. Grant, Game of ThronesCharles Dance, Fiona Shaw, and more, Ladies First takes the backwards gender dynamics of the workplace and turns them on their head. This concept and a starry cast have clearly caught the eye of audiences, as Ladies First finds itself as the most-watched movie on Netflix in the world, at the time of writing.



















































Collider Exclusive · TV Medicine Quiz
Which Fictional Hospital Would You Work Best In?
The Pitt · ER · Grey’s Anatomy · House · Scrubs

Five hospitals. Five completely different ways medicine goes sideways on television — brutal, chaotic, romantic, brilliant, and ridiculous. Only one of them is the ward your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out exactly where you belong.

The Pitt

ER

Grey’s

House

Scrubs

01

A critical patient comes through the door. What’s your first instinct?
Medicine under pressure reveals who you actually are.





02

Why did you go into medicine in the first place?
The honest answer says more about you than the one you’d give in an interview.





03

What do you actually want from the people you work with?
Who you want beside you under pressure is who you are.





04

You lose a patient you fought hard to save. How do you carry it?
Every doctor who’s worked a long shift has had to answer this question.





05

How would your colleagues describe the way you work?
Your reputation on the floor is usually more accurate than your self-image.





06

How do you feel about hospital protocol and procedure?
Every institution has rules. What you do with them is a choice.





07

What does this job cost you personally?
Nobody works in medicine without paying a price. What’s yours?





08

At the end of a long shift, what keeps you coming back?
The answer to this question is the most honest thing about you.





Your Assignment Has Been Made
You Belong In…

Your answers have pointed to one fictional hospital above all others. This is the ward your instincts, your temperament, and your particular brand of dysfunction were built for.


Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center

The Pitt

You are built for the most unsparing version of emergency medicine television has ever shown — one that puts you inside a single fifteen-hour shift and doesn’t let you look away.

  • You need your work to be real, not romanticised — meaning over drama, honesty over aesthetics.
  • You find purpose inside the work itself, not in the chaos surrounding it.
  • You’ve made peace with the fact that this job takes from you constantly, and gives back in ways that are harder to name.
  • Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center demands exactly that kind of person — and you would not want to be anywhere else.


County General Hospital, Chicago

ER

You are the person who keeps the whole floor running — not the most brilliant in the room, but possibly the most essential.

  • You show up, do the work, absorb the losses, and come back the next day without needing the job to be anything other than what it is.
  • You care about patients as individual human beings, not as cases to solve or dramas to live through.
  • You believe in the system even when it fails you — and you understand that emergency medicine is about holding the line just long enough.
  • ER is television about endurance. You have it.


Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Seattle

Grey’s Anatomy

You came to medicine with your whole self — your ambition, your emotions, your relationships, your history — and you have never quite managed to leave any of it at the door.

  • You feel things fully and form deep attachments to the people you work with.
  • Your personal and professional lives are permanently, chaotically entangled — and that entanglement drives both your greatest disasters and your most remarkable saves.
  • You understand that extraordinary medicine often happens at the intersection of clinical skill and profound human connection.
  • It’s messy at Grey Sloan. You would not have it any other way.


Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, NJ

House

You are drawn to the problem above everything else — the symptom that doesn’t fit, the diagnosis hiding underneath the obvious one.

  • You’re not primarily motivated by the patient as a person — though you are capable of caring, even if you’d deny it.
  • You work best when the stakes are highest and the standard answer is wrong.
  • Princeton-Plainsboro exists to house one extraordinary, impossible mind — and everyone around that mind is there because they’re smart enough to keep up.
  • The only way forward here is to think harder than everyone else in the room. That is exactly what you do.


Sacred Heart Hospital, California

Scrubs

You understand that medicine is tragic and absurd in almost equal measure — and that the only sane response is to hold both of those things at the same time.

  • You are warm, self-aware, and funnier than most people in your field.
  • You use humour to get through terrible moments — and at Sacred Heart, that’s not a flaw, it’s a survival strategy.
  • You lean on the people around you and let them lean back. The laughter and the grief are genuinely inseparable here.
  • Scrubs is a show about learning to become someone worthy of the job. You are still very much in the middle of that process — which is exactly right.

Critics Haven’t Responded Well to ‘Ladies First’

For Pike, who has been part of countless acclaimed projects from Gone Girl to The Wheel of Time, Ladies First marks a rare miss with critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has been ripped apart, scoring a dreadful 27%. Although it has earned a much more respectable 68% from audiences, little can hide the film from its scathing critical reception, with one critic calling it a “waste of time,” another adding it is “very weak,” and a third saying, “Ladies First makes for a film with more awkward silences than laughs.”

You can make up your own mind on Netflix now. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest streaming stories.
