January UK Netflix releases 2017
As the weather worsens and London fills with shoppers in the sales, here are more reasons to stay inside and cuddle down with a duvet and Netflix this January
A Series of Unfortunate Events, Netflix
Finally recovered from watching all that Christmas TV? Bored out of your mind and wishing there was something exciting on the box once again? Well, you can forget about Sherlock on the BBC if you want to (although, why would you want to?) and get ready to pass the rest of the winter days with these new January Netflix releases. As expected, January 2017 doesn't have that many new Netflix Originals, although the month's highlight is unquestionably A Series of Unfortunate Events. Happy New Year everyone!
A Series of Unfortunate Events
UK Netflix release date: 13 January 2017
Eight episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events is a Netflix original already being tooted as one of the likely stand-out TV shows of 2017. Adapted from the classic book series by Lemony Snicket, it stars Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) as the eccentric, bombastic and very, definitely, completely evil Count Olaf, who takes possession of the three very clever, unfortunate Baudelaire children after their parents die in a freak house fire.
