Our picks for what to watch this month

Suddenly, Halloween’s over and we’re almost at the year’s end. As we daydream about the holidays in the near future, let’s take a look at what the streaming platforms have in store for us this transitional month between the spooky and festive seasons.

1/6 The Thing About Pam

Premieres on November 3 on HBO GO

Academy Award winner Renee Zellweger stars in this true crime drama series based on the real-life murder of Betsy Faria, which became something of global obsession back in 2011. As investigations take place to get to the bottom of the crime, a seemingly ordinary woman named Pam becomes intricated in the case.

2/6 My Policeman

Premieres on November 4 on Prime Video

Harry Style’s LGBTQ+ romance film lands on Prime Video this month.  Based on a book by Bethan Roberts, My Policeman follows three young people in 1950s Britain, who become entangled in a complication of feelings, identity, and societal taboo. The secret they share could ruin them all. 

3/6 Dead to Me (Season 3)

Premieres on November 17 on Netflix

If you’ve been following the misadventures of Jen and Judy (Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini) for two seasons already, we have good news and bad news. The good news is season 3 is finally arriving to Netflix on November 17. The bad news is this is the final season of Dead to Me. Will these two mismatched friends ever move past their shared, constantly-accumulating trauma or will something finally be the dealbreaker for their loyalty to each other?

4/6 Food Affair with Mark Weins

Premieres on November 18 on HBO GO

If you’re a foodie and a fan of Mark Weins, then mark your calendars for November 18 when Weins’ first-ever HBO show drops. The passionate foodie takes us through Singapore one bite at a time, from hawker to haute cuisine, building a picture of the nation’s culinary fabric. Hopefully, the six-episode series is just the beginning of something wide-reaching for the charismatic food blogger.

5/6 The Electrical Life of Louis Wain

Premieres on November 18 on HBO GO

For biopic lovers, this one follows the life of British artist and inventor Louis Wain, who considers two events to be his most life-changing: meeting his wife Emily and adopting his cat Peter. Benedict Cumberbatch and a kitten? Say no more.

6/6 Wednesday

Premieres on November 23 on Netflix

A bit of a missed Halloween boat this one, we’re still looking forward to Tim Burton’s Addams Family adaptation that focuses on Gomez and Morticia’s daughter, Wednesday. Starring rising star Jenny Ortega as the title character, Wednesday is a mystery series charting the young Addams’ years as a curious student at elite prep school Nevermore Academy.
