Netflix helps you through the rainy weekend with new releases of The Big Bang Theory, The Good Place, Sex and The City: The Movie and more.
With a heavy heart we say farewell to our favourite TV nerds. This weekend, the 12th and last season of The Big Bang Theory is released on Netflix. The complete season is out now.
The sitcom came to an end in May of this year when the finale was aired in the US. Hitting our screens in 2007, the series about Leonard, Sheldon, Penny and friends survived 12 years.
The final season of The Big Bang Theory picks up from Sheldon's and Amy's wedding and sees them embark on their honeymoon. Meanwhile, Raj and Stuart help out Howard and Bernadette with baby Halley and Leonard and Penny try to withstand another marriage crisis.
But season 12 of The Big Bang Theory is not the only arrival on Netflix this weekend. Here are 9 more shows or movies that are available on the streaming site from today:
