Let's take a look at some of the highly anticipated titles streaming in November as well as what I'm hooked on now!

 

Coming in November

November 11 - The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power (Season 3) - Prime Video

The return of the worldwide hit series in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth sees Sauron as he works to forge the One Ring.

November 25 - Blade Runner 2099 - Prime Video

The highly anticipated sci-fi series produced by original film director Ridley Scott sees a Replicant Blade Runner uniting with a human to hunt down a gang of rogue Replicants in dystopian Los Angeles.

 

Most Anticipated

Blade Runner 2099 - Prime Video

I can't believe this is finally here! Blade Runner is undoubtedly my favorite sci-fi movie of all time. The equally great sequel Blade Runner 2049 continued Ridley Scott's dystopian tale in a near future Los Angeles, and now he's back to executive produce an 8 episode series set fifty years later: Blade Runner 2099. Following an uprising, Replicants are now in control while humans have become second-class citizens. Olwen (the amazing Michelle Yeoh) is a Replicant Blade Runner at the end of her life cycle, and she must team up with Cora (Hunter Schafer), a human pretending to be a Replicant in order to hunt down a gang of rogue Replicants.

This looks spectacular, and it fits perfectly in the dystopian near-future Los Angeles from the first two movies. Blade Runner is my favorite sci-fi franchise as it tells of a future that's all too plausible, especially with how things are going nowadays. It's a stark reality that we're possibly not too far from, and I love the moral dilemmas that arise between humans and the Replicant androids they've created. If you're a fan of sci-fi and other series like Black Mirror, be sure to check out not just the movies, but the new series Blade Runner 2099 when it drops November 25 only on Prime Video!

 

What I'm Watching Now

Below - Netflix

I've got two episodes left in the terrific series Below and I can't recommend it enough. It's definitely got a Stephen King meets Stranger Things vibe, and it's even set in Canada which makes it all the more interesting!

Josh Hartnett stars as Calvin Penney, a traumatized fisherman in a remote Newfoundland town who must fight to protect his family, his community, and his vanishing way of life. Making things infinitely more difficult is a seemingly massive sea creature that's terrorizing everyone and haunting the town itself. I'm a huge fan of folk horror and new tales surrounding supernatural tales and legends, and this series checks off all the boxes. Cliffhangers, plot twists, and enough jump scares to keep you on your toes. It's the perfect Halloween season show to dig into, so don't miss it. All six episodes of the limited series are streaming now on Netflix!
