Planning on staying in tonight?

Yeah, we don’t blame you. The weather has been really all over the place lately, so the idea of curling up on the couch and bingewatching a new TV show or movie is very tempting.

Thankfully, Netflix have come to the rescue and have added a number of new movie sand TV shows just in time for the weekend.

Uncut Gems 

Set in the fast-paced world of the New York City Diamond District. Howard (Adam Sandler) is a charming jewel distributor who can’t help but live his life on the edge through a reckless addiction to gambling, drugs and women. But when he comes into possession of a 600ct Black Opal diamond, Howard finally has the opportunity to turn his life around once-and-for-all — if he can just manage to stay alive, and keep the rare gem in his possession.

The Stranger

Adam Price has a good life – two wonderful sons and a watertight marriage – until one night a stranger sits next to him in a bar and tells him a devastating secret about his wife. The same night, a local school kid is attacked and left unconscious, and Adam’s teenage son Thomas quickly becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens to lift the lid on secrets in the town.

Detective Johanna Griffin is handed the case but is soon derailed when her closest friend is murdered. While Adam desperately tries to get to the truth he is forced to confront a question we all fear – how well do we really know the people closest to us?
