Looking at the movies coming to Netflix Canada this November, it’s clear that the company is trying its hardest to compete with Christmas movie Juggernaut Hallmark.

That’s not all that’s going on this month, of course. November will also see the return of beloved shows like “The Crown,” “Queer Eye” and “The End of the F***ing World,” as well as critically-acclaimed movies like “The Irishman,” “Burning Cane” and “The King.”
