While we aren’t saying that Netflix planned for House of Cards’ final season to premiere just before the US midterms, we are heavily implying it.
The sixth and final season airs on November 2, four days before Americans vote for their lives (the House of Representatives, Senate and Governor’s Offices).
It may be another country’s election, but there’s no way the rest of us aren’t watching and being all partisan-y about it.
In case the results aren’t in your favour, we have November’s finest Netflix titles to help you simmer down.
House Of Cards: Season Six (Series)
The Other Side of the Wind (Film)
John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons (Comedy Special)
Warrior (series)
Narcos: Mexico (series)
DOGS (series)
Taking to social media earlier this week, Trevor Noah announced his new Netflix Comedy Special with the help of a “Craigslist Chicken” (a confused baby in a chicken costume).
Noah has always been vocal about his Apartheid-era upbringing as a son of biracial parents. His latest Netflix stand-up is named after his mother Patricia, who he once described as a “force of nature”.
Patricia, who is Xhosa, was arrested several times just for being out with his Swiss German father, and could not hold her young son’s hand in public.
Says Noah, “she taught me by example how to navigate the violent racial landscape of South Africa. She taught me responsibility, how to be a man. I get my sense of humour from her, too. My mom was the first true comedian I ever saw.”
Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia airs November 20 on Netflix Australia.
