Dark Season 1

This German sci-fi drama is a total head trip in the best possible way. A small town is rocked by the disappearances of two boys, but the question isn’t where are they, it’s when are they.
Personal Shopper
Kristen Stewart offers up an exquisite performance in one of the year’s best psychological thrillers. It may not earn any major awards this season, but it’s still well worth a watch.
Dickensian Season 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U57l3XUKZP4
Charles Dickens’ classic characters live side by side on a dangerous street in Victorian London in this literary series.
Home Alone
Watching Kevin McCallister take down two criminals with his scarily intricate traps is a Christmas tradition that can’t be missed.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
GOTG, Vol. 2 is the rare sequel that actually lives up to the original. Weird, heartfelt, and a hell of a lot of fun — if you’re feeling the holiday stress, this is the perfect film to decompress with.
The Crown Season 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME2umFQ_xBA
Netflix’s luscious period drama returns with a more confident Queen Elizabeth II. Season 2 is sure to be as buzzy as the first, so prepare for a binge-watch by stocking up on tea and biscuits now.
Logan
Hugh Jackman imbues Logan with a world-weariness that just might break your heart in this superhero masterpiece.
It Comes at Night
This compelling horror film mostly slipped through the cracks in 2017, but it’s a taut mystery that will keep you guessing until the credits roll.
Younger Season 4
Sutton Foster’s frothy TV Land series is as addictive as it is good, and the show’s never been better in its fourth season.
The Santa Clause /h4>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t067u2Jnks0
Embrace the ’90s nostalgia and indulge in this marvelous bit of Tim Allen ridiculousness. The Santa Clause is cheesy and very much of its time, but for adults of a certain age, it’s also a certified holiday classic.
Bunheads Season 1 /h4>
Gilmore Girls’ creator Amy Sherman-Palladino’s ode to dance was cut down in its prime. But that’s no reason not to enjoy every quirky, visually stunning moment of Bunheads’ first and only season.
French & Saunders Christmas Specials
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are the comedy duo that you didn’t know you needed in your life. Sit back and laugh along with seven Christmas specials featuring the queens of sketch comedy.
Gunpowder
Game of Thrones’ fans, this one’s for you. Kit Harington stars as Robert Catesby, the man behind the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. If you miss seeing Harington glower as he fights against seemingly insurmountable odds as Jon Snow, then you’ll love this miniseries.
The Last Post
In 1965, British soldiers and their wives live together in Aden. The Last Post chronicles the experience from the points of view of the women and the men whose families were put to this test.
Black Mirror Season 4

Close out the year with six new installments of Black Mirror that are sure to revel in the horrors of technology.
Get busy everyone, because there’s still plenty of binge-watching to be done before 2017 comes to an end!
