But if you intend to spend your entire weekend in front of the TV just to escape the madness outside, here are some of the shows and movies that you can stream right now on Netflix.
Ragnarok

The series is set in the small, fictitious town of Edda, situated in the grand, breathtaking Norwegian nature.

Some might say we’re headed for yet another Ragnarok. Unless someone intervenes in time...
