Arctic temperatures in New York and a blizzard followed by more arctic temps this weekend have me sticking close to home. I thought I had seen everything worth watching on Netflix. I devoured the second season of The Crown already, loved Godless, and took in Mudbound, almost as soon as it landed. Now I had to dig deep. I didn’t hear much about Alias Grace and must have scrolled by it countless times, until I read a post in Cup of Jo raving about it. Based on a Margaret Atwood book it follows the tragic life of a young Irish immigrant girl. That’s all I needed, I was completely enthralled with Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and can’t wait for season 2 on Hulu in April. Six episodes of Alias Grace kept me happy for a while but without a back up. Just in time my brother recommended Ozark on Netflix. Despite the fact that it stars Jason Bateman, who I love for his role as Michael in my all time favorite TV show Arrested Development, it had not stirred my interest. I gave it a try and I’m hooked; it’s now my current TV obsession.
There, I snuck in seven recommendations, but if you still need more here’s my shortlist of movies now on Netflix to supplement your binge worthy TV watching.
Movies
Viceroy’s House
Lion
The Big Short
Woman In Gold
Moonrise Kingdom
A little escapism never hurt anyone. Stay warm and happy watching!
