New on Netflix Nov 23-29: our expert picks the 7 new shows and movies you'll want to stream this week

The closer we get to Christmas, the more that Netflix's release calendar is taken up by festive content — the weekly rom-coms we've been seeing for weeks are now joined by baking and more. But if you think it's too early for the holiday season, the streamer has content for you too.

As What to Watch's resident streaming expert, I look through Netflix's release calendar every week to bring you a curated list of the shows and movies that everyone will be talking about.

The round-up covers the week starting on Saturday, November 23and ending on Friday, November 29. That latter is Black Friday and I'm crossing my fingers that we'll see a Netflix Black Friday dealfor the first time in years.

This week, I've balanced out the the Christmas content with some romance (fictional and real), some murders (fictional and real), and some racing action in the form of an F1 biopic. This variety will mean that there will be something for you, whatever you're looking for.
