After a special issue of Streaming in Canada last week, we return to our regularly scheduled column
Weekly, MobileSyrup describes some of the most notable movies and TV shows to hit Canadian streaming platforms recently.
Our ‘Streaming in Canada’ column generally focuses on new content from Amazon Prime Video Canada, Crave, and Netflix Canada, but other services such as Apple TV + and Disney + will be mentioned where relevant.
We will also highlight shows or movies that are made in Canada, involve a notable Canadian cast or crew, and / or are filmed in Canada.
Finally, with the COVID-19 pandemic causing many movies to hit digital platforms much earlier than planned, we will take note of important movies, as well as other notable news from the streaming service, to be included in this category where appropriate. .
