Relaxing in December with Netflix

To continue the (relaxed) line from last Wednesday, we present the best Netflix acquisitions of the moment just before the weekend. All you have to do is curl up on the couch and enjoy the best of Netflix in the month of December while enjoying tea, coffee, chocolate milk with or without whipped cream.

December is also a festive month for Netflix, because the popular streaming service drops no fewer than 77 new titles, ranging from film to documentary, and from series to anime. It will be difficult to single out all 77 for you. Therefore a small selection from this avalanche of viewing material. You can view the whole list here.

New movies

Don't look up – Comedy

Two astronomers discover that the Earth will be hit by a meteorite within six months and embark on a media tour of the country to warn the population. But the world is not exactly awake to the approaching danger. A whole battery of stars contributes to this comedy. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence play the astronomer duo. You will also see Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Rob Morgan, Matthew Perry, Jonah Hill, Chris Evans and other celebrities. Rightly called a stunner. Already.

The Power of the Dog

Two brothers, the sweet-natured George and the brilliant but vicious Phil, jointly own the largest ranch in Montana. When George marries widow Rose, played by Kirsten Dunst, Phil does everything he can to destroy her. In his battle against Rose, Phil uses Rose's sensitive son, Peter, as a pawn. This film is already being tipped for several Oscar nominations.

The Unforgivable

Ruth Slater, played by Sandra Bullock, was convicted of a violent crime twenty years ago. Now she is released. But after her release, the trouble really starts. Ruth has become a social pariah. The only thing that gives hope is the younger sister she hasn't seen since she ended up in prison. A solid drama with a solid lead actress.

New seasons of popular series

La Casa de Papel season 5B

Season 5B now. The end of the fifth season of the Spanish hit series. What you can expect is better shooting, explosions and fierce chases. The Professor also alludes to more deaths. Moreover, he makes a big mistake that could prove fatal. Who will make it to the end of the series and who will not?

The Witcher Season 2

Fantasy fans beware: in this new season of The Witcher, monster hunter Geralt of Rivia gets quite busy with monsters, war and spectacular sword fights. And if that wasn't enough, he takes Princess Cirilla to the safest place he knows: his childhood home, Kaer Morhen. As the kings, elves, humans and demons of the various continents battle for supremacy, Geralt must protect Princess Cirilla from something far more dangerous: the mysterious power that lurks within her.

Emily in Paris Season 2

In the first season you saw the cheerful, somewhat naive American Emily get to know France and her new (temporary) employer. No setbacks got her down, not even the end of her relationship with her American boyfriend. Slowly you saw her blossom and develop feelings for not one, but even two men. More of the same this season, but different. Who will Emily choose? The handsome downstairs neighbor or the fashion man?
