Friday is finally here, and we are SO ready for a night in with some delcicious snacks, and some great things to watch.
That begs the question - where would we be without Netflix? (boring town, that's where)
With that in mind, we had a little gander of our favourite streaming service, and came up with five things you absolutely MUST watch this weekend.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the weekend!
Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1
Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil AKA Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist AKA Danny Rand, a quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who reluctantly realizer they just might be stronger when teamed together.
The action-filled drama brings the four members of the street-level hero team known as The Defenders to the screen.
What Happened to Monday?
In a not so distant future, where overpopulation and famine have forced governments to undertake a drastic "One Child Policy," seven identical sisters live a hide-and-seek existence pursued by the Child Allocation Bureau.
The Bureau, directed by the fierce Nicolette Cayman, enforces a strict family-planning agenda that the sisters outwit by taking turns assuming the identity of one person: Karen Settman. Taught by their grandfather who raised and named them - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - each can go outside once a week as their common identity, but are only free to be themselves in the prison of their own apartment.
That is until, one day, Monday does not come home.
Barbecue
A symphony of meat and fire, Barbecue shows us how an everyday ritual is shared by cultures around the world, as a way to celebrate community, friendship, and tradition.
A film told in 13 languages, from Texas to the Syrian border, from 'Shisanyama' to 'Lechon', Barbecue is a film about the simple truths in life that bring people together, and how barbecue is a path to salvation.
Banking on Bitcoin
Not since the invention of the Internet itself has there been such a controversial technological creation as Bitcoin.
Bitcoin's early pioneers sought to blur the lines of sovereignty and the financial status quo. After years of underground development, Bitcoin grabbed the attention of a curious public – as well as the ire of the regulators the technology had subverted. Yet after landmark arrests of prominent cyber criminals, Bitcoin, which actually surged on election night, still faces its most severe adversary, the very banks it was built to destroy.
The Saint
Master thief Simon Templar – also known as the Saint is hired by a wealthy banker to find his kidnapped daughter, not all is as it seems.
