https://movieweb.com The best movies and shows to watch on Netflix. Sat, 23 Dec 2023 19:30:19 GMT en-US hourly 60 We, as audiences, thrive on getting shocked, scared, and disturbed when watching a movie or TV show. There is something incredibly authentic to the watching experience that surrounds the goosebumps-inducing reaction to some great horror. However, as much as we love a bloody slasher or a zombie classic, what happens when the horror we see on the screen translates to real life? Disturbing documentaries and docuseries have made their presence known across streaming platforms and continue to dominate viewer interest.

In an era when social platforms like TikTok entice us to consume media in a very rapid manner, our brains are way more susceptible to binge series that don’t require that much of our free time. There’s an overwhelming number of new movies and TV shows coming out every month, hence why we’re more likely to choose a limited series to watch next, to keep up with everything. It's a smaller, more convenient commitment.

There is a communal happiness that can be felt in the air during the holiday season, so romanticizing this feeling is perfectly normal. For those of us in love with the twinkly lights and homemade goodies, the rest of the year can seem rather dull. However, thanks to several streaming services, Christmas movies can be cherished and appreciated, especially as we inch closer to the holiday season, and any time of the year, really.

Think in terms of horror: it almost always seems like Korean and Japanese studios make the best moves that scare the socks off of people. Maybe it's because American studios have a bad habit of regurgitating things they have done before to try and double success. It's probably why the British tend to do better at making riveting dramas.
