Looking for something to watch today?

With the weather getting much colder, it’s even more of a reason to kick up the feet and enjoy some great shows on Netflix. What did we ever do without it?

There are some great choices which remain the top favourites, like Stranger Things, Making A Murderer and The Get Down, but if you’ve made your way through all of those, here are some great options which have just arrived on Netflix in the last few days.

Two brand new series, The Expanse and The Crown, are now available.

The Expanse is set in the future where humans on Earth and Mars are on the brink of war. Meanwhile, a detective and a ship’s captain search for a missing woman.

The Crown tells the inside story of two of the most famous addresses in the UK, Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street, and the intrigues, love lives and machinations behind the great events that shaped the second half of the 20th century.

If a documentary is what you’re after then try The Ivory Game. It goes undercover into the dark and sinister underbelly of ivory trafficking. The documentary follows poachers in pursuit of the ‘white gold’ of ivory as the African elephants near extinction.

Award-winning director Richard Ladkani and Kief Davidson went undercover for 16 months with a crack team of intelligence operatives, undercover activists, passionate frontline rangers and tough-as-nails conservationists, to infiltrate the corrupt global network of ivory trafficking.

There is a great new comedy available now from Dana Carvey. His show, Straight White Male, 60, is said to be an outrageously funny stand-up special which was filmed at the The Wilbur Theatre in Boston.

If you’re looking for something for the kids, the first season World of Winx has just arrived. The reality show “WOW!” engages the Winx in their mission, starting an undercover, worldly journey in order to make talented kids’ dreams come true.
