The year 2022 did not start well for Netflix. But the streaming platform has a golden opportunity to end it on a high note. Netflix has planned to drop plenty of original films in December this year for all its subscribers. And some of them will surely attract record-breaking viewerships for the OTT service. How about we take a quick look at them?
