What's new on Australian streaming services in February
You could curl up and binge-watch the "Vicar of Dibley" holiday specials, or you could grab your chainsaw, lower your standards and get ready for "Sharknado 3". Either way, streaming has you covered this month.
Let's face it. No one needed to watch "Sharknado." No one needed to watch "Sharknado 2," creatively dubbed "The Second One." And, I won't lie to you, you don't need to spend an evening watching "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!"
But who am I to rob you of the freedom to watch the best trashy TV that streaming services have to offer? Even if it is the latest Creature Feature that scoops through a vat of tired B-Movie tropes and sluices them into 90 minutes of cartilaginous glory. We haven't seen a washed-up concept this thinly veiled since Ian Ziering pulled a NASA T-shirt over his 51-year-old abs and picked up a chainsaw. But you better believe we're going to watch it.
This is what streaming is made for -- charming 90s Britcoms and their Christmas specials, gory horror sequels, even Hasbro spin-offs like "Transformers Rescue Bots," which remind you that the legacy of Orson Welles' last film role is alive and well.
