For many gamers around the world, November was a bright spot in an otherwise depressing year full of non-stop disappointment and health anxieties. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X made fantastic first impressions – though they remain nearly impossible to find for those who didn't get one preordered – and there was no shortage of extraordinary experiences to be had throughout the first month of their lifecycles.
If your Netflix list is already overflowing due to this month's additions to the service, you're not alone. December has been phenomenal for movies and shows on the world's most popular streaming platform, and there's no sign of it slowing down. As a matter of fact, today's selection includes five brand new films, and a few of them may be right up your alley.
Very few games have produced the amount of hype that Cyberpunk 2077 has earned over its 8-year development cycle. From its very first trailer back in 2013 – nearly a year before the PlayStation 4 even launched – to the long and winding 2020, fans have eagerly anticipated getting their hands on the title and seeing for themselves all of the wonders that its setting of Night City has to offer.
The first week of December has already brought in quite the haul for Netflix subscribers. The service has dropped two films in the Jurassic Park series, The Da Vinci Code and its sequel Angels & Demons, and the brand new David Fincher effort MANK, among others, but as we've all come to expect, there's always more on the way to add to our must-watch lists.
If you have an Amazon Prime account and trust one of the world's most prolific writers, you may want to take a look at the indie flick Wade in the Water. According to Stephen King, it's very much worth a watch, as he enthusiastically stated on his Twitter account last week when he called it "a little movie with a big heart."
Chronos: Before the Ashes is neither terrible enough to disown entirely nor deep or engaging enough to warrant a recommendation for anyone but the most genre-craved diehards.
It's the very first day of December, and as you're finishing up some holiday shopping, Netflix is already ahead of schedule with a fantastic gift today – tons of fresh content that you're not going to want to miss. This isn't unusual, of course, as the first day of any month is guaranteed to be the biggest for the world's most popular streaming service. You can usually expect quite a bit of high-profile stuff, and today is no different with its wide selection of appealing new and returning movies and shows that encompass nearly every genre.
Today marks the first of the month, meaning that Netflix is providing subscribers with a massive dump of new content to add to their watch lists and devour. Some huge additions have arrived on the platform, such as Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, two Jurassic Park pics, and all 10 seasons of the sci-fi show Stargate SG-1. With so much to watch, then, there's undoubtedly something for everyone – but if you're a fan of Adam Sandler, today's an even better day for you.
