The 40-Year-Old Version, Uncut Gems and Bad Trip should be in your Netflix queue.
The greatest selling point of streaming services – a near-infinite choice of entertainment, instantly available to anyone anywhere – is also its greatest drawback: if you don’t have a clear plan, you can spend an hour or more just scrolling through the various categories before giving up and going to bed. No judgment here, we’ve all done it… and, if we’re being honest, some of us can’t stop doing it. So as a public service (and to get around the algorithm), NOW’s writers have gone deep into the tiles to recommend some recent favourites, overlooked classics and essential titles available to watch right now. And we’ll update this post regularly as titles leave and join Netflix Canada. We’re not monsters.
