All the new Netflix shows and movies arriving on the platform this week
The end of December is here, so check out what's new on Netflix this week and ring in the new year with a new show or movie.
The week's major standout is Berlin, a prequel to the wildly popular Money Heist. It focuses on the titular character as he rounds up his ragtag group of experts to pull off one of his biggest scores yet: a multi-million dollar jewel heist.
There's also Pokémon Concierge, a feel-good, stop-motion animated series that follows Haru, a young woman who pampers Pokémon on an idyllic tropical resort while their trainers are away. She also takes care of an adorable Psyduck as the pair zip around the island to take care of each monster's wishes.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks
Ricky Gervais: Armageddon
Comedian Ricky Gervais presents his latest stand-up special, in which he explores the impending doom of the apocalypse as he sees it through the lens of his unapologetically bold humor. The mastermind behind hits like The Office makes light of provocative topics like the potential end of humanity, the weirdness of family weddings and funerals, and even artificial intelligence. Thinking about the future might be terrifying, but Gervais' signature irreverent humor makes it feel, well, still terrifying, but easy to laugh at, too.
