Viewing tips
The third episode of Máxima will of course be released this weekend on Videoland, but there will be much more fun to watch on streaming services in the coming days. For example, blockbuster Saltburn was released today on Pathé Thuis, as was the Dutch romcom In Love with Bali.
Netflix now has six (!) seasons of The Good Doctor, a wonderful medical drama that is guaranteed to bring laughter and tears. Do you prefer reality TV? Then you’re in the right place at Netflix, where a new batch of episodes of The Circle was released yesterday.
Get that popcorn ready – or at least your leftover orange popsicles to snack on while you enjoy your favorite movie or series.
