This month, the streaming giant is adding some fantastic films, including the iconic British rom-com Four Weddings and a Funeral starring Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell, and all-time feminist classic Thelma & Louise, which features devastating performances from Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis.
There are also brand new episodes of The Good Place and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, plus season four of Line of Duty, the BBC police drama created by Bodyguard 's Jed Mercurio which features sterling work from the excellent Thandie Newton.
