It’s the holiday season and that means it is time to relax! The nights are longer, your work hours are hopefully lessened, and the world feels like it’s winding down–in a soothing way, not in the terrifying way that’s hung over our heads for pretty much all of 2017. What better time to sit down and relax with something on a streaming service, particularly something that was just added? Be the first of your friends to watch one of these new titles! In addition to Decider’s What to Watch recommendations for Wednesday, here’s what’s new on streaming tonight.
Netflix has a thrilling TV import called La Casa de Papel, an ensemble drama about an extended heist and hostage situation. There’s also plenty to laugh at tonight, with the debut of A Very Sordid Wedding, a campy comedy about gay marriage in a small Texas town. And that ain’t all! HBO’s documentary series 15: A Quinceanera Story continues tonight with an installment about Rosi.
Learn about those titles and more in today’s edition of What’s Streaming Tonight.
