Winter weekend watchlist: Movies and series worth streaming

The weather outside is less than inviting, so instead of heading out, why not snuggle up on the couch under a warm blanket and enjoy a family or couples’ movie and series marathon?

Alternatively, you could head to the cinema (although they don’t provide blankets, and if you can’t wear your pyjamas to fetch the kids from school, you definitely can’t wear them to the movies!).

If you decide to stay in and enjoy a marathon in front of the TV, here are a few recommendations:
