After the year we have all had, a big celebration was needed, and we hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day and spent it with those you love. If you’re anything like us, yesterday you will have stuffed your face and drank one too many Bailey’s, leaving you feeling a little bit fragile today. It’s time to get those Netflix subscriptions out, as we have some worthy watches for you whilst you chill out in those new Xmas PJ’s.
Don’t Look Up
It’s not often that a Netflix original film gathers an A-list cast featuring names such as Leonardo Di Caprio and Meryl Streep, but 2021 has shown us the sky’s the limit. ‘Don’t Look Up’ follows two astronomers (Leonardo Di Caprio and Jennifer Lawrence) as they try to warn humankind of a planet-killing comet bounding towards the earth. Met with a dull response from the world’s elite, the astronomers take matters into their own hands.
Little Women
If you’re looking for a film slightly more comforting, look at Little Women. This is a film full of emotion and deeper meanings, following the lives of the March sisters and detailing the ups and downs faced as they enter womanhood. This beautiful story is brought to life by a credible cast; Florence Pugh, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson and Timothee Chalamet.
The Unforgivable
This film sees Sandra Bullock play Ruth Slater, a woman who has recently been released from prison. She walks a path of redemption, as she attempts to re-enter society and put her life back together, whilst searching for the sister she was forced to leave behind. However, things don’t go so simple, and Ruth must endeavour the harsh reality of society, as she cannot escape her past.
Selling Sunset
Sometimes, a series can be more inviting if you’d prefer to enjoy something in segments. Selling Sunset is the latest reality TV show that has got the internet talking, as we dream about the impeccable houses being sold on the Hollywood Hills. The show follows successful (and super glamorous) realtors based in LA as they compete to win over clients and deals. With Season 4 debuting last month, you will have plenty to catch up on if you choose to watch this sassy series.
Emily In Paris
With Season 2 dropping earlier this week, we had to include our favourite girly series ‘Emily In Paris’ in our what to watch list. Full of laughs, love and disasters, this season is bound to win you over as Emily continues to navigate her bustling life in Paris.
Death To 2021
If you enjoyed last year’s ‘Death To 2020’, then you are bound to enjoy this year’s edition. The program looks back on the troublesome year we have all faced with a satirical point of view. It’s better to laugh than cry!
Euphoria
This series first rocked the world in 2019, as we all got hooked into the drama of season 1. With season 2 on the horizon, we only have the trailer to go off, but we can see the show is going to be as scandalous as ever. The trailer teases drug dealings, tough arguments and new romances which we can’t wait to see unfold. Season 2 will be available to stream from January 9th, so now is the time to get up to speed with all that happened in season 1!
And Just Like That… A New Chapter Of Sex And The City
If you loved Sex And The City back in the day, you need to watch this sequel to the much-loved series. Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis return as Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, with the trio making their way through life in their 50s. You can watch the comedy-drama on Now TV.
