1. Dark
Dark is the new Netflix Original series from Germany. According to the first reports, the series is very similar to Stranger Things and should be the end-of-year hit of Netflix. The mysterious series is set in a small town in the German countryside. After the disappearance of two children, a search starts, in which supernatural things happen.
The series consists of ten episodes. The story spans several generations, involves several families and takes place in different times. In the corridors Dark is already called ‘the scariest Netflix series to date’.

2. The Crown
The successful series The Crown returns. The second season of the series about the British royal family takes place between 1955 and 1964. Winston Churchill has left and is succeeded by a whole battery of new prime ministers. That hardly provides any peace of mind. Princess Margaret is also experiencing something, she starts a new relationship with Lord Snowdon. She marries him and has children, but the relationship does not go smoothly. In short: plenty to do and many new faces in The Crown.

3. Easy
Another series that returns: Easy. In the first season of Easy, we followed other Chicago residents every episode. They showed how they dealt with love, sex, technology and culture. A lot of well-known names passed by in the series and that is no different in season 2. For example, Orlando Bloom, Dave Franco and Emily Ratajkowski participate in the comic series.

This month’s big Netflix movie is Bright. A sci-fi fantasy film starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as LAPD agents. The Earth is populated next to people by all kinds of fantasy figures, such as orcs and elves. In fact, Joel Edgerton plays an orc and is thus unrecognizable in the film. The duo competes to defeat a great evil in the world.

5. Trollhunters
The animated (children’s) series Trollhunters from DreamWorks turned out to be a bull’s eye for Netflix last year. This year, the second part of the adventure that was conceived by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro will appear. In the new season, troll hunter Jim faces all kinds of new problems and must protect his friends from evil trolls.
Jim’s voice was done by the late Anton Yelchin. This promising young actor managed to complete all shooting before his death last year. The rest of the cast also has big names. What about Kelsey Grammer, Mark Hamill and Lena Headey.
