‘Tis the week of Thanksgiving, and with your turkey coma just around the corner, the big four streaming sites are serving up plenty of shows and movies that will give you the perfect excuse to stay on the couch.
This week, Netflix will see the return of two of its lesser known and totally underrated series. Meanwhile, Hulu is bringing Downsizing to the streaming masses, and HBO is serving up a 2018 action movie that you may have missed in theaters.
There are also new Christmas movies, a sparkling new take on Little Women, and some standup goodness that will make your vacation days fly by. So grab that leftovers sandwich, and prepare for all of the streaming goodness coming your way.
