Hello Readers,
While adding things to my watch lists, I realised there’s
a fair few series that I’m looking forward to that won’t quite fit into my Christmas
watchlists. I wanted to share my watch list with you. For the different series I’ve
mentioned, I have organised them by release date and included the streaming
platform where they are available to watch.
I am using poster images I have found through google I
do not own any rights and am using the image purely for future review purposes
(Fair use under the copyright act sections 29 and 30 under use for a review).
