While people still navigate their way out of the coronavirus pandemic, Netflix UK’s sizeable library of movies and TV shows remains a handy resource for keeping entertained indoors.

But before you start bingeing through its new originals, don’t miss out on catching up with some other gems before their rights expire and they head to another service, or just disappear into the digital ether.

This is your last chance to stream the following on Netflix UK:

Honey Boy – 29th April
