It’s finally the New Year and with that comes many new shows and films. This week, January 5th 2018, Netflix welcomed 78 new movies, 21 new TV series, 14 new documentaries and one new standup. That’s a big list to start off 2018, which means you’ll have plenty to watch and keep you busy this weekend.

The first pick of the week is one that many will be so excited about. Friends (2003) has been added to Netflix UK. Yes, really! All 10 seasons are available to stream whenever you like, so if you’re feeling down or just want a laugh this is the best series to watch. Many of you will have watched the show countless times and know what it’s all about. However, for those of you who don’t know, it’s about six friends and their lives. It’s funny, fantastic and flavourful. So whether you want to watch it all from the beginning, or watch some of your favourites it’s all there at your disposal.

If you enjoy interesting crime, you’re bound to like Now You See Me 2 (2016). It’s packed full of action and adventure when the Four Horsemen must steal a chip that can control every computer in the world. This film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Ruffalo, Morgan Freeman and others. Not to mention the fact that you can still watch the first film on Netflix too. Although the second film may not be as good as the first and has had mixed reviews, it’s still worth watching if you’d like some entertainment. You’ll be enticed by the plot of the movie as well as the twists and surprises.

Our final pick of the week is the documentary Rotten (2018). This Netflix Original focuses on digging deeper into the global food supply chain to find out the truths about the things we eat. Season one consists of six documentaries, all at almost one hour each. They will teach you about why you should watch what you eat, and opt for more clean eating and healthier choices. If you’re ready to see the truth about what you eat and perhaps need something to push you into eating better, this would be the perfect place to start.
