That’s the long weekend sorted.
With many of you facing into the delightful prospect of a four-day weekend, no doubt there are plenty of social activities on the agenda between Good Friday and Easter Monday.
With no pubs to go to on Good Friday, however and with the weather shaping up to be something of a mixed bag, you might want to settle in for some quality time in front of the tellybox.
With that in mind, here’s a taste of some of the titles either recently added or soon to be added on Netflix to keep you entertained throughout the weekend.
