Watch This – New To Netflix
The Midnight Sky | 23 December
George Clooney both stars and directs this dystopian story about a lone scientist deliberately seeking to prevent astronauts from returning to Earth, as their home planet has turned turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, unrecognisable as any kind of home. Heavy material, I know. But, George Clooney.
Bridgerton | 25 December
She brought us Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder. Now Shonda Rhimes returns to the small screen via Netflix with a Regency Era period drama about the powerful Bridgerton family and their attempt to find love in London’s competitive marriage market. Expect a dazzling peek into the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era, nuanced with rigid family structures and class anxieties. Julie Andrews lends her inimitable persona as a Gossip Girl-esque narrator.

Art Basel’s annual end-of-year extravaganza in Miami manifests in ‘OVR: Miami Beach’ – an Online Viewing Room of 255 galleries showcasing art that is reflective of the tumult and political turmoil of our times.
