Hello, streamers and welcome to another month of Netflix goodness. There’s something for everyone this November with a bunch of Netflix Originals on offer.
Fans of the recent hit series, The Handmaiden’s Tale, should note the arrival of Alias Grace this month. An adaptation of the novel by Margaret Atwood – who also wrote The Handmaiden’s Tale – Alias Grace is the true-crime story of Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a 16-year-old Irish girl found guilty of the murder of her employer, Thomas Kinnear (Paul Gross). Set in Ontario, Canada in 1843, this historical series could be your next binge. Streaming from November 3.
Another Netflix Original, Godless is also set in the 1800s but this time, in the wild American West. Outlaw Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) is on the hunt for his partner turned enemy, Roy Goode (Jack O’Connell) when he stumbles across La Belle, New Mexico, a town made up entirely of women. The series is written and directed by Scott Frank, best known for his screenplays for films The Wolverine and Minority Report.
Marvel fans will be pleased with another series instalment. This time it’s The Punisher. By day, he’s Marine veteran Frank Castle. But after his family is murdered, he becomes vigilante, The Punisher, hell bent on fighting crime no matter what it takes. Get in line for your punishment from November 17.
You may remember She's Gotta Have It when it first appeared in cinemas in 1986. It was the beginning of iconic filmmaker Spike Lee’s career. Now Lee is revisiting the story of Nola Darling for this Netflix Original series. Starring DeWanda Wise (Underground) as Darling, the 10 episode series follows Brooklyn artist who struggles with self-identity whilst juggling her three lovers. Streams from November 23.
Stand-up comedy fans should check out DeRay Davis: How to Act Black. Actor and comic Davis delivers his take on living, dating and handling show business as a black man. Available to stream from November 14.
Looking for a documentary? Shot in the Dark examines the lives of three photographers linked by an unlikely commonality: they are all blind. Pete Eckert, Sonia Soberats and Bruce Hall all continue to make art in a medium that traditionally requires being able to look – and see – through a lens. A fascinating look (pardon the pun) into what artists use to create images when they can not rely on sight. Streams from November 17.
Looking for a shot of nostalgia – and baseball? Then look no further than 1989s Oscar-nominated, Field of Dreams. Starring Kevin Costner (The Bodyguard) at the height of his fame, Field of Dreams is the story of Iowa corn farmer, Ray Kinsella. After ‘a voice’ tells him, “If you build it, he will come,” Ray builds a baseball diamond in his corn fields. As the best Hollywood films do, Field of Dreams doesn’t attempt to explain the magic but just asks you to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride.
