It's a new week on Stan and there are lots of new additions, both on TV and in terms of movies.

Well, the election didn't turn out as expected, but for those of you still wallowing in grief, you might want to check out Madam Secretary as a glimpse of what might have been (or maybe what should have been, in terms of Hillary Clinton's stint at the same job). Also getting a new season (4), and with new episodes being locked to Stan in the future, is the Showtime series Masters of Sex.

New series Good Behavior is being fast-tracked from the U.S, with new episodes airing every Wednesday. The show follows Letty Raines (played by Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery), as a thief and con artist who just doesn't seem to make good decisions in life.

For movies, there are lots to binge on this week. It's almost that time of the year, and so it's time to catch up with the Griswolds family again in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Tommy Lee Jones directs and stars, alongside Oscar winner Hilary Swank, in The Homesman.

Two foreign films well worth watching this week, but very different subject matters and tone. The Sicilian Girl tells of the true story of 17-year-old Sicilian Rita Atria, who bravely testified against The Mafia after the death of her brother and father. In JCVD, Belgian action star Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself, sort of, in this comedy crime drama that shows us a different side of the once mega-action star.

Music fans, and particularly fans of the Coen brothers film 'Inside Llewyn Davis' should check out Another Day, Another Time, the campanion documentary to 'Inside Llewyn Davis' that looks at the music inspirations behind the film.

And almost forgot to mention the must-watch Nightcrawler, a funny and terrifying film at the same time starring a brilliant Jake Gyllenhaal.
