The year is almost over. Hard to believe, but summer is only a few weeks away. While you're getting ready for some fun in the sun, it's time to enjoy this week's new Netflix content, including the intriguing "Dead Boy Detectives."

"Dead Boy Detectives" follows a pair of, yes, dead boys who have left this world many years apart. They unite in the afterlife and put their brains and brawn together to help the living solve difficult cases involving wicked witches, ghosts, and other strange happenings. The film also features a live-action version of the anime "City Hunter."

There's plenty more to come. Check out what's new on Netflix this week on a daily basis.
