Cunk on Life (GB) — NETFLIX FILM

“What’s the point of it all?” is a question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. But as we cling to our dying planet, working round the clock while we’re slowly being replaced by machines, now more than ever, people are desperately looking to make sense of their lives – before someone invents a computer that makes sense of it for them. This one off special will see Philomena tackle some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including Quantum Physics, Existentialism, Nihilism, Hedonism – and at least four other isms – as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence. In her search for answers, she’ll also examine some of history’s foremost thinkers and ground-breaking creatives, from Dostoyevsky to Van Gogh, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs in kitchens that say, ‘Live Laugh Love’.

Katja Herbers and Mike Colter in Evil.

If you're looking for something fresh to binge on Netflix in December, there aren't a lot of options.

The best option in December is Evil, the CBS supernatural thriller that became a Paramount+ original. The first two seasons of Evil are already on Netflix, and season 3 will be added on December 31. That's more than enough time to catch up on the 26 episodes that are currently streaming.

This great 2015 Liam Neeson action movie is popular on Netflix now
Liam Neeson and Joel Kinnaman in Run All Night.

If you've seen one Liam Neeson action movie, then you've kind of seen them all ... with a few exceptions. Since starring in Taken in 2008, Neeson has displayed "a particular set of skills" in the action genre, and most of the movies he's in don't call for a lot of the dramatic range that he was known for earlier in his career. That's not to say that Neeson's action films can't be good movies. Some of them rise above the rest, including Run All Night, which is currently back on Netflix.
