If you’ve made your way through our September picks and are looking for something new, this month’s streaming picks have something for everyone. There is a classic romantic comedy, some British crime drama and even some contemporary dance. The weather might be turning, and the sun might be shining – but these picks will have you wanting to spend some more time on the couch.

Yellowjackets season two

    • In season one, a high-school girls’ soccer team survive a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness.
    • Season two introduces Lauren Ambrose and Elijah Wood to the cast.
    • Central to this season is the power Lottie (Courtney Eaton/Simone Kessell) has over the group.

The Way Home

    • The Way Home tells the story of three generations of women coming to terms with their trauma and how it has shaped their past and present.
    • If you enjoy Christmas movies where a pretty, white heterosexual woman returns home to be conveniently reunited with a lost love, then The Way Home is for you.
    • Ultimately, The Way Home is more enjoyable than the sum of its parts.

Am I

    • The dancers are all in black with only their feet, arms and faces visible, accentuating the shapes made by their upper bodies.
    • The backdrop is a wall of golden white light bulbs, which light in different patterns: at times a pixelated digital screen, other times an exploding sun.
    • They move through sequences using silver rods to produce line drawings in two dimensions, then three-dimensional clusters and networks.

While the Men Are Away

    • Well-meaning Gwen falls instantly for Frankie; the intense Esther is soon exchanging meaningful looks with Robert.
    • The costumes and production design have a soft-focus, Women’s Weekly glamour – a far cry from rationing and making do.
    • While the Men Are Away is a fantasy of queer visibility and acceptance, but the uneven script, churning plot and the often-didactic tone undermine its ambitions.

Annika season two

    • Neon (New Zealand); season one is available in Australia on iView and BritBox The second season of offbeat BBC police procedural Annika stands apart in a genre that usually veers towards silliness or misanthropy.
    • Season one followed the establishment of Glasgow’s specialist Maritime Homicide Unit, a small and unflappable team, which spends its time fishing bodies out of Scottish waterways and solving odd coastal crimes.
    • This is all while Annika navigated the prickly relationship with her teen daughter Morgan.
