The strange, sleepy stretch between Christmas and New Year’s is here, when the calendar slows down, the daylight barely shows up and the idea of curling up with new movies and TV shows to watch this weekend on Netflix, Peacock and other streaming services feels less like procrastination and more like self-care. It’s deep winter, the year is almost over, and there’s no better excuse to let the couch win.
On the TV side, “Stranger Things” season 5 part 2 pushes toward the finish line with higher stakes and heavier emotions, perfect for a long, uninterrupted binge. Meanwhile, “Goodbye June” offers a quieter, more sentimental counterpoint for the holidays.
