Wondering what to watch in streaming?
All Almost every week, Mobile syrup outlines some of the most notable new movies and TV shows. We usually focus on new content from Amazon Prime Video, Crave, Disney+ and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Paramount+ are mentioned when relevant. Premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game as movies continue to arrive early on digital.
Finally, we will highlight shows or movies that are made by Canadian companies, involve notable Canadian cast or crew, and/or are filmed in Canada.
