The holidays are quickly approaching, which means time off from work and school, and quality time to spend with your family and friends. What better way is there to get into a relaxing mood, then to snuggle up with some Netflix? By now you’ve probably binge-watched Marvel’s Jessica Jones, but don’t despair, our favorite streaming service has plenty of other great programming headed our way for December. One of Showtime‘s best series, Nurse Jackie will be streaming (in full) before the new year. Check out the trailer for the series as well as highlights for December releases on Netflix. Make sure to keep reading for the full list below.
Nurse Jackie: Seasons 1-7 (December 31)
Edie Falco stars in one of television’s best satirical dramadeys ever. Falco is ER Nurse Jackie who has vowed to do no harm and yet, gets through the day by doping up on Vicodin and Adderall. Not to mention the NYC hospital where she works is on the verge of crumbling. Binge-watch the entire series to see if Jackie can keep the hospital and herself from falling apart.
A Very Murray Christmas (December 4)
Paying homage to classic Christmas specials, and directed by Sofia Coppola, Bill Murray stars as himself in A Very Murray Christmas. The special is studded with some of our favs including Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, and Michael Cera. Though we don’t know much about what will be taking place in the special, Murray promises, that the “night will go down as the greatest night in history.”
Ray (December 1)
In what is perhaps one of the best biopics in recent years, Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx stars as music legend Ray Charles in Ray. The film follows the soul man from being blinded at age 9 through drug addiction coupled with his meteoric rise to fame. Not only does the film take you back it time; the music provides a stunning backdrop.
Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine (December 3)
Though there has been so much positive change for the LGBTQ community over the past several years, much more work still needs to be done. The sobering documentary Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine is a tale of one of the most notorious hate crimes in U.S. history. The film is told through the eyes of people who knew and loved Matt Shepard. It’s heartbreaking tale about life, loss, love and the work that we still desperately need to do.
