The fact that we’re now in November seems impossible and atrocious, but yet here we are. Having spent most of the year in lockdown, emerging from the cocoon of our home into the glare of the unrelenting Aussie sun is a dangerous affair; it’s the culprit behind unforgivable tan-lines and the kind of red noses that see office colleagues use up their quota of Christmas jokes. We’re all for the outdoors and a jaunt in nature, but there’s something to be said for taking refuge away from the sun’s glare and the stench of coconut oil that seems to follow beach-goers everywhere.
Thankfully, your favourite streaming platforms are here to ensure that you ride out the final months of the calendar on an entertaining high. From Netflix to Amazon and Stan, these platforms continue to deliver original content and series that prove binge-worthy and if there’s anything we learned during lockdown, it’s that online viewing now is cultural capital. Just look at Squid Game – it practically dominated all conversation, with our social media feeds merely becoming a discussion of the characters and larger themes. To have not seen it is to be out of the loop, a mere viewer of the WhatsApp group chat, unable to contribute.
To ensure you’re the life of the party at the countless Christmas lunches you rack up in the coming weeks, we’ve rounded up all the shows, series and films coming to streaming this month. If the line-up proves anything, it’s that the holiday theme takes centre stage across all platforms, but there will be something to please everyone regardless of your entertainment viewing preferences. So, sit back, relax, and relish the joy of being sun-safe via a binge-watch indoors. Happy viewing, folks.
