In an effort to help you plan out your viewing schedule, we’ve rounded up our top streaming picks for January 2022.
With so many movies and TV shows to stream across a variety of Australian streaming services, which includes the likes of Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Binge, Apple TV Plus and more, it can be tough to cut through all the noise to find the best stuff to watch each month. It’s with this in mind that we’ve cobbled together this January Aussie streaming calendar, which helpfully highlights the best movies and TV worth watching this month. As we move forward in the coming months, we’ll expand upon this format to identify a wider selection of films and TV series to stream, and include some of the top new rental releases on services like iTunes, Google Play and more. For now though, here are our top five movie highlight for January 2022, followed by our picks for the top five TV shows to stream this month. F9: The Fast Saga (Movie – available 1/1/2022 on Amazon Prime) F9 may very well be the dumbest instalment in the Fast and Furious saga to date, in that its signature stunts and family-driven story manage to reach ridiculous new heights, and not necessarily in a good way. That said, there’s still plenty of fun to be had here for those who can accept F9’s ‘jump the shark’ moments of idiocy. The Tender Bar (Movie – available 7/1/2022 on Amazon Prime) A coming-of-age story set in the ’70s and ’80s, The Tender Bar follows a fatherless boy who keeps coming back to his neighbourhood bar to receive guidance about how to be a man from its bartender, who also happens to be his uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck). Directed by George Clooney, The Tender Bar is a warm film with a wonderful central performance from Affleck. Eternals (Movie – available 12/1/2022 on Disney Plus) Given it released in theatres during an ongoing pandemic, chances are there are many people who haven’t had a chance to see Marvel’s most unusual superhero epic to date, Eternals.
