Top movies and TV shows to binge-watch in November
1. The Crown
If you haven’t caught wind of it already, The Crown’s fifth season is available for all your binge-watch needs. We see Imelda Staunton in the starring role of Elizabeth, with an all-new cast. The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding to the early 21st century. This season focuses on the period from 1991 to 1997. Or what people call “the tumultuous 1990s”. A reminder though that the show isn’t meant to be a history lesson. So take everything you see with a grain (or bucket) of salt.

2. Don’t Worry Darling
This is for anyone that decided not to go for movie screenings of Don’t Worry Darling thanks to our review. We’re happy to report that it’s available on streaming sites now! This psychological thriller starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles is set in an idyllic 1950s neighbourhood. Alice (played by Florence Pugh) begins to suspect that something is amiss in her residential nook of Victory, California. Be prepared for stunning visuals, even if the movie might leave you wanting more.

Love, drama, murder, and drugs. All encapsulated in the fictional elite high school Las Encinas.

The show is a mix of murder mystery and drama, filled with ever-developing characters and a layered storyline. If you need more drama, you can always watch the Elite: Short Stories series.

5. Dubai Bling
What can we say, reality television still has our hearts. We’re living vicariously through the lives of the Dubai Bling cast. Step into the high-flying social circle with lavish parties, luxury vehicles, and homes with unbelievable views. We’re living for the huge walk-in closets filled with shoes and bags, and the hot goss on who’s dating who. Not to mention the endless amounts of drama that comes with living this high-flying life.

A follow-up to Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, we get a brand new whodunnit comedy. Detective Benoit Blanc is back to investigate a murder.

When a tech billionaire and his entourage journey to his private island for a murder mystery party, you can imagine the type of hijinks they’ll get into.

7. Yakuza Lover
Ever wondered what it’d be like to be a gangster’s wife (or in this case, girlfriend)? This comic-turned-live-action centres around feisty college student Yuri. After being harassed at a party, she is saved by Yakuza underboss Toshiomi. This encounter marks the beginning of a whirlwind romance filled with heartfelt (and sometimes over-the-top) gestures. Despite her fears and the danger Toshiomi faces on a daily basis, the two continue fighting to stay together. This is what Wattpad romance stories are made of.

8. Gossip Girl
We recommend getting your popcorn and drinks ready for a binge-watch marathon because we’re back for more Gossip Girl drama. This standalone sequel to the original Gossip Girl is getting its second season this coming December! We’re seeing a comeback of the dreamy cast including Jordan Alexander, Eli Brown, Thomas Doherty, and Zion Moreno. Gossip Girl leaves no stone unturned in her effort to spin scandalising lies about Manhattan’s elite. She’s turning up the heat (Julien, have you met Monet?), and finding ways to make everything as catastrophic as possible. Be ready for tons of lies, old enemies, new allies, and constantly shifting sands as the second semester of the junior year begins.
Available 1 December on HBO Go
9. Curtain Call
Korean dramas always leave us on the edge of our seats, that’s probably why we love them so much. We follow Geom-soon as she flees North Korea with her husband and son. However, they end up separated during the escape. Geum-soon endeavours to start a new life on Korea’s southern coast while waiting for them. Since then, she’s remarried and built the top hotel chain in the country.
Years later, she is reunited with her lost son, and finds out she now has a grandson! But k-dramas never make things easy. During the next reunion, she finds her son has died and she has no way of contacting her grandson. Fast forward to the present day, Geum-soon is now dying of cancer. In order to fulfil Geum-soon’s dying wish of seeing her grandson, her right-hand man hires a struggling actor to play the role for the next three months. And you can bet things will only get complicated from here.

The Addams Family is arguably one of the most beloved fictional families in cartoon history. And the macabre fun continues in this Netflix original. This supernatural mystery-comedy focuses on the much-loved Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega). As she begins her years as a student at Nevermore Academy, she aims to master her psychic powers. But being a high schooler also means juggling new relationships. Not to mention stopping a killing spree, and solving a supernatural mystery that affected her family 25 years ago. Just typical high school things, you know.
