Tis the season to be binging! That's right, folks, December is finally here. With it comes friends, family, good cheer, and (hopefully) a fair chunk of holidays in which to switch off and get your stream on. The tail end of 2024 holds a massive stockpile of blockbuster movies, binge–worthy series and top-tier original content. Far too many offerings for the average viewer to navigate...
Fortunately, I'm abnormal. Square-eyed. Thoroughly obsessed with maximising your screen-time with nothing but the most viewable things. To that end, I've poked through the lists of several thousand hours of content from Australia's six major streaming networks. Select your provider from the list below, and let’s deck the halls of your calendar with optimal couch potato sessions.
