5 Netflix and chill must-watches to get stuck into this evening

The weather outside is frightful (not to start too early on the Christmas songs) and there is nothing we want to do more than wrap up in a blanket with a glass of wine and possibly a significant other and watch Netflix. 

In absentia of a significant other, any adorable pet or large package of savoury snacks will suffice.

Netflix have some brand new releases, so finding something to keep you entertained will be a piece of cake. 

Straight Outta Compton

Missed this in the cinema? Never fear, Netflis is here. 

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation.

Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war. 

Jeff Dunham :  Relative Disaster

In the mood from some eyebrow raising comedy? Ventriloquist and global comedy superstar Jeff Dunham brings his rude and slightly demented posse of dummies to Ireland for a gleeful skewering of family and politics in his debut Netflix Original stand-up comedy special, "Jeff Dunham: Relative Disaster."   

Filmed at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin, Dunham and his famous cohorts Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J, Peanut and Seamus leave the audience in stitches from start to finish.

Heroin(e)

There is nothing better than settling in to a good documentary. Heroin(e) focuses on the once bustling industrial town, Huntington, West Virginia that has become the epicentre of America’s modern opioid epidemic.

With an overdose rate 10 times the national average, the crisis threatens to tear this community apart. West Virginia native Sheldon highlights three women working to change the town’s narrative and break the devastating cycle of drug abuse one person at a time. An absolutly harrowing must-watch.

 The Bronx teen spent three horrific years in jail, despite never being convicted of a crime, and this series explores exctly what happened. 

American Vandal

 Launching on September 15, American Vandal is a half-hour true-crime satire that explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty-seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images.
