When you think of the perfect night in, it mainly consists of booze and your favourite TV shows.

Well, this Galway hotel is zoning in on that with the layout of its new rooms.

Residence Hotel is a new boutique hotel situated in the centre of Galway and is set to open this month.

Inside all of the hotel's rooms is Belair Champagne on demand, access to Netflix and a Nespresso machine to wake yourself up in the morning after a night of binge-watching The OA.

Netflix and chill in a swanky hotel? We're down with that.

It has been reported that Netflix and the creators of Gilmore Girls are in talks about a new series.

A Year in the Life left us all on a major cliffhanger, and many fans became annoyed because well, we all want to know what happened next.

Those 'final four words' shocked the best of us and they can't just leave us there… right?

According to Associated Press, chief content creator of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, confirmed that talks are taking place, but they're in the "preliminary" stages.

"We obviously loved the success of the show, fans loved how well it was done, it delivered what they hoped.

"The worst thing is to wait a couple of years for your favourite show to come back and for it to disappoint you, but they sure delivered and people were really excited about more and we have been talking to them about the possibility of that."

Let's hope we'll soon be seeing Rory and Loreli sipping on their coffees (Rory's decaf), discussing those last four words…

In the run-up to their premiere of Casting JonBenét at this year's Sundance Fim Festival, Netflix have released a sneak peek at the documentary which true-crime fans have been waiting for with bated breath.

And if their intention was to leave YouTubers feeling pretty disturbed, they achieved it.

A clip for the documentary – which examines the 20-year case into the unsolved murder of six-year-old pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey – was released on YouTube yesterday, and it certainly makes for some unsettling viewing.

Featuring a group of little girls in typical pageant attire, the clip sees one young hopeful, who bears a striking resemblance to the deceased child, asking if they knew who killed JonBenét, and, unsurprisingly, YouTube found it a little hard to watch.

"This is creepy. Can we not?" asked one while another added: "OMG that gave me the heeby jeebies."

"Hell no! Just NO. Nope, not gonna watch. Ever. Never. Netflix, you people are SICK!" ranted another.

If you're not put off by the recently released clip, Casting JonBenét will hit Netflix this April.

Yup, it's officially Blue Monday.

And while health experts and doctors are sceptical about the legitimacy of the concept of the 'most depressing day of the year,' a cold, dark, flat-out broke month is certainly enough to make us consider hibernation until February 1.

So if you are looking for something to lift your spirits – and one that doesn't involve spending any money (see above) – having a larf with the help of Netflix is a decent place to start.

You might have to prepare yourself for this one, but it's been five whole years since Netflix began streaming in Ireland.

That's right, ladies, half a decade has passed since we were introduced to the service that brought us House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Stranger Things… to name but three.

Oh, and during that time, we learned that saying you were chilling out in front of the box with a potential partner or significant other suddenly took on a far greater meaning.

We mean, did you two actually watch Netflix together? Or did you two watch Netflix… and, you know, chill together?

As if we didn't have enough problems trying to navigate the various other pastimes we're meant to enjoy together…

1. Netflix and Chill

For many of us, a night in front of Netflix means more time arguing over what to watch and less time undressing each other.

"Don't dare open another button on that damn shirt. We're watching Clueless, and you're ruining Cher's monlogue about the Haitians."

2. The official first date

Will it involve half his group of mates? Are you meant to bring a friend along? A first date in Ireland is not like the movies.

"Mick will get ya a pint. Have ya met Mick? Known him since 4th class. He'd nothing else on tonight, so said I'd bring him along."

3. Couple of drinks together

The idea is sweet – no doubt about it – but when you spend two hours scrolling through your respective phones without speaking to each other, you have to question whether you're doing it wrong.

"Here, I've tagged you in a meme, Get off Twitter, and have a look on Facebook."

4. Phonecalls that last longer than 40 seconds

Unless they're calling to remind you to buy bog roll, phone conversations are not for Irish couples. Oh, we're a nation of talkers alright… as long as it's by text.

"Who's dead?! Then, why did you ring me, for Jaysus sake? Do not do that again, I'm telling you."

5. Shopping together

Some romcoms would have you believe a couple can spend a leisurely afternoon browsing various stores, and still arrive home without a single crossed word, but we know better.

"I'm not going in there again. It's full of 15-year-old lads who can't afford a pair of runners between them. And you bailed on me in Topshop, so you can p*ss off."

6. Working-out together

The couple that squat together, stay together… unless you grew up in Ireland and were raised on the notion that sporting activities were divided by gender.

"Don't you tell me how to swing a kettlebell. I was doing this long before you decided to ditch GAA."

7. Sleeping together in the parental home

Unless you were raised in a particularly liberal home, you'd be fairly shocked to learn your other half's parents would be OK with y'all sharing a bed in the family home.

"I'm allowed into your room? Your mam isn't waiting under the bed with a shot gun, is she?"

Two years ago Sophia Amoruso released a book about how she went from shopping in dumpsters to running a multi-million euro fashion empire.

It's safe to say many of us trusted that book like a bible, as it taught us about working hard and getting what you want in your career.

But along with the inspirational messages came Sophia's hilarious sense of humour and wit, which made us love her – and the book – even more.

And now, Girl Boss is being made into a TV series, and we couldn't be happier.

The series will start on Netflix in April, so while we're waiting on that to come around, we're guessing that these Sophia looks are going to be all the rage this year:

 

The statement trousers

Say goodbye to skinny jeans (for the most part), because wild statement trousers are coming!

 

 

Brown leather

Brown is the new black in Sophia's eyes. Be ahead of the crowd with these top picks.

 

 

Metallic everythaaang

 

A photo posted by Sophia Amoruso (@sophiaamoruso) on

Yep, metallic is going nowhere. Copy the Girl Boss's style with these fab pieces.

 

 

Statement denim

This is another trend that's here to stay, and we bet this year denim will be bolder than ever.

Now go boss it up.

There's one in every family – the sibling who will not shell out for their own Netflix account, and instead makes use of other people's log-in details on the sly.

If you've been inundated with recommendations which bear no resemblance to your own TV preferences, you've likely fallen foul to a sibling who desperately needs a Netflix Gift Card in their Christmas stocking.

Available in three pre-paid amounts – €15, €25, €50 – the Netflix Gift Card can be added to an existing account or used to open a new one, so you can say goodbye to scrounging siblings for good in the new year.

The card, which could herald the dawn of more peaceful family relations, can be used with any viewing plan, so why not treat yourself to a Netflix account exclusive to you… by springing for a gift card exclusive to your sibling?!

Everyone's a winner!

By the end of this week, we will have successfully ploughed through the upcoming episodes of Gilmore Girls and will almost certainly be back hunting for our next Netflix feast.

With this grim prediction in mind, we were delighted to come across the first trailer for the site’s Barack Obama biopic, Barry, which is due for release in mid-December.

Set in the Autumn of 1981, Barry tracks Obama’s junior year at Columbia University as the future 44th President of the United States grapples with many of the same social challenges he went on to face in office.

With the trailer suggesting Obama’s diverse ethnic background “makes him American”, Barry appears to offer a refreshing contrast of opinion to those expressed by the new President-elect on his journey to the White House.  

Barry premieres on Netflix December 16.
