Where the last of those is concerned, our penultimate weekly 'what to watch this weekend' list of the year is, as always, filled with offerings from the world's best streaming services. From the final new movies of 2024 to the return of popular shows, you'll find something worth watching after sticking your out of office email on for the final time this year. You've earned it, after all. So, put your feet up and enjoy one of the below recommendations! - Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter.
2024 has been a good year for war dramas, such as Apple TV Plus projects Blitz and Masters of the Air. Now, we can add The Six Triple Eight to the list; the last of December's new Netflix movies telling the inspirational true story of World War II's only Women’s Army Corps unit of color, aka the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.
855 women join the war effort to sort though a three-year backlog of mail that hadn’t been delivered to American soldiers far from home. Despite discrimination and war-torn conditions, they sort through 17 million pieces of mail and bring hope to the front lines. The Six Triple Eight certainly has a unique premise that could make it one of the best Netflix movies (although, it's Rotten Tomatoes critical rating suggests it won't). Nevertheless, I look forward to learning more about a heroic battalion that many of us didn't know existed on Netflix.
