Love, heartbreak, and a sprinkle of drama make ‘It Ends With Us’ a must-watch. Inspired by Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, the movie hit theatres just recently and is now streaming on Netflix for your next cosy night in. Blake Lively stars as Lily Bloom, a woman navigating her past trauma and a new romance with Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni). But when her first love, Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar), re-enters her life, things get complicated fast. Emotional and beautifully acted, this romance drama is the perfect excuse to curl up on the couch with a box of tissues (and maybe some chocolate).
Bonjour, drama lovers. Lily Collins returns as Emily Cooper in ‘Emily in Paris’, your favourite dose of Parisian romance and workplace chaos. Season four dropped recently this year, and it’s everything you’ve been waiting for.
Emily is still juggling baguettes and business pitches, but this time, her friendship with Mindy (Ashley Park) shines brighter than the Eiffel Tower. These two BFFs are the ultimate ride-or-dies amidst all the romance and work drama. Speaking of love, the chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) keeps things sizzling with Emily, especially after that jaw-dropping season three cliff-hanger.
With its witty humour and endless Parisian vibes, this season is perfect for binge-watching during the winter weekend when you’re craving a touch of glam and giggles.
Season two of ‘Squid Game’ has officially dropped, and it’s every bit as intense and gripping as fans hoped. The Emmy-winning South Korean hit has already taken the internet by storm, with viewers praising its darker twists, higher stakes, and jaw-dropping moments.
Lee Jung-jae returned as Gi-hun, determined to end the brutal games once and for all. But to take down the organisation, he found himself re-entering the deadly arena. The challenges were more dangerous, the tension was higher, and the stakes were life-altering.
If you thought the first season was a rollercoaster, this one promises an even wilder ride. Clear your schedule and brace yourself for an unforgettable binge.
Remember the sheer suspense of holding your breath during the first ‘A Quiet Place’? Well, the sequel cranked up the tension and proved this franchise isn’t just whispering in the shadows; it’s roaring. ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ has finally made it to Netflix this year, recently.
Directed by John Krasinski and starring Emily Blunt (once again nailing the silent scream), the film picks up right where the first left off, thrusting viewers into a high-stakes, sound-free world. Trust me, it’s so intense you might accidentally stop breathing. Perfect for a weekend movie marathon.
Contrary to its cheeky title, ‘Nobody Wants This’ is the rom-com everyone needs. Starring Kristen Bell as an agnostic woman named Joanne falling for Adam Brody’s Noah, this show combines humour, heart, and hilariously relatable moments. With scene-stealers like Timothy Simons and Sherry Cola playing Sasha Roklov and Ashley respectively, rounding out the cast, it’s the perfect balance of drama, laughs, and swoon-worthy romance. Streaming now on Netflix and already renewed for a second season, this one’s a quick and delightful binge for a winter weekend spent under a warm blanket.
Calling all true crime fanatics and spooky story lovers - this one’s for you. Anna Kendrick’s ‘Woman of the Hour’ is not just her directorial debut but an absolute knockout. Inspired by the real-life story of Cheryl Bradshaw, the film follows Cheryl, played by Kendrick herself, a struggling actress who joins a dating show only to match with a charming - yet terrifying - serial killer, Rodney Alcala (chillingly portrayed by Daniel Zovatto). With its sharp dialogue, nerve-wracking suspense, and Kendrick’s portrayal of a woman fighting for her life, this thriller is guaranteed to keep you glued to your screen. Perfect for winter nights when you want some chills - literally and figuratively.
