Plenty to get stuck into over the Christmas season.
Ho, ho, ho. Net, net, Netflix.
Granted, that line makes absolutely no sense but with the Christmas season fast approaching, you’re going to need plenty of stuff to binge watch over the coming weeks and Netflix have got you covered in December.
Bruce Springsteen, Peaky Blinders, a new true crime documentary series, the Oscar frontrunner, an Oscar-nominated turn from Denzel Washington, and a Hollywood blockbuster that fans of The Jungle Book will be itching to see are just some of the highlights.
On this note, here’s a taste of what’s coming to Netflix this December along with a brief description of some of the titles that might not be too familiar with viewers.
