Cats.This Month’s Critic’s Picks
🐱 Cats
The world has literally never been the same since Cats premiered in 2019. Tom Hooper’s remake of the Broadway musical confused, delighted and scared a mass of fans who basically deemed this a cult-classic from the get-go. Now go see what this insane movie has to offer. (Streaming January 16.)
More January highlights:
➽ Mamma Mia! Double Feature — No better way to ring in the new year by setting your afternoon to the tunes of ABBA. The utterly delightful Mamma Mia! and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again are sure to put an automatic smile on your face as you escape from the harsh cold of winter. So, pour some wine, invite your friends, and press play. (Streaming January 1.)
➽ This Is Us, seasons 1-6 — NBC’s most tear-jerking series is arriving on Netflix in its entirety. The multi-generational story about the Pearson family led by Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimilglia features a stellar cast (most notably Sterling K. Brown and the late Ron Cephas Jones) as it explores the many lives around the Pearson family orbit. (Streaming January 8.)
➽ Queer Eye, season 8 — It’s Bobby Berk’s last season! And for his last season, the Fab Five go back to New Orleans. (Streaming January 24.)
