As we enter the second half of the month, the list of highly-anticipated content hitting Netflix has shrunk significantly. That’s not to say this coming week will be empty — far from it. The week of November 18th will bring subscribers new seasons of original series The Last Kingdom and Frontier, as well as both seasons of the Sky One sitcom Sick Note, starring Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).

Other highlights include a new stand-up special from The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, a documentary about Pixar, and a Mystery Science Theater 3000 six-movie marathon that might just kill the hosts.

%name Get a $300 robot vacuum for $140 in this early Black Friday sale, today only by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

There are a few different categories of devices that people always look for on Black Friday because prices are typically as low as they’ll get all year. 4K TVs are obviously near the top of the list, but robot vacuums have become nearly as popular in recent years. In fact, the iRobot Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum went on sale on Amazon last week for $50 less than iRobot’s official Black Friday price, and it’s already the most popular product the BGR Deals team has covered all month.

A Roomba 960 for $449 is a ridiculously good deal, but that’s still a lot of money for most people. If you’re looking for something far less expensive that still does a good job of cleaning up the messes around your home, you should definitely check out Amazon’s one-day deal on the ECOVACS DEEBOT N79S Robot Vacuum Cleaner. This self-charging robot vacuum is a great value at its full retail price of $300, but you can get one today for just $139.99!

Here in my neck of the woods — the South — we got our first snow flurries this week. You know you’ve officially entered old man territory when you find yourself grumbling that it’s too early for this wintry stuff — a sentiment helped along by the fact that we’ve had an atypically warm fall in some areas this year. Which can make the arrival of the first snow flakes of the year an unwelcome arrival, indeed.

Glen Zipper had a life-changing moment back in 2003, when he was working as a criminal prosecutor and somewhat adrift, not happy with his career. He met a dog — a skinny canine named Anthony, with patches of hair missing that got taken to a local shelter. Anthony never left his mind, from the minute Glen first laid eyes on him.

He ended up calling the shelter to check in on him, found out he was due to be euthanized, so the then-prosecutor rushed to the shelter, and everything changed. Inspired by the volunteers taking care of dogs, he decided to become one himself. He started volunteering, and his newfound love of man’s best friend eventually gave him an idea. In a world as divided as the one we live in today, why not tell a series of stories about one of the few things everyone can agree on — namely, how much we all love our fluffy, four-legged companions.

This week has seen a ton of warm remembrances and goodbyes to Stan Lee, an icon of pop culture who died on Monday at the age of 95 after a decades-long career creating some of the most enduring and popular franchises in the history of the entertainment industry.

One of those goodbyes you may have missed, though, comes from none other than Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin — whose first written work, it turns out, was a letter printed in a “Fantastic Four” comic book (the one where the foursome met Prince Namor) when he was just 13 years old.

People who follow the BGR Deals team know that we share some of the coolest products you’ve ever come across.

This meat thermometer pops into the steak or whatever else you’re cooking, and then you toss it right onto the grill or into the oven while you cook. Then it connects to your smartphone and tells you the exact internal temperature of your meat so that you can pull it off the heat as soon as it’s cooked to the exact doneness you want!

MEATER | The Original True Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer for the Oven Grill Kitchen BBQ Smoke…: $69.00

Here’s more info from the product page:

  • ► 100% Wire-Free: No wires. No fuss. The first truly wireless smart meat thermometer. Monitor your cook using the FREE app available for iOS / Android smart phones and tablets.
  • ► 2 Sensors, 1 Probe: Dual temperature sensors can monitor internal meat temperature up to 212°F and ambient / external temperature up to 527°F simultaneously.

The only film that matters at the box office this weekend is Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. But then again, you might not be a Harry Potter fan, in which case you’ll seek other stories to entertain you. Grinch, which crushed the box office last weekend, is a great option if you still haven’t seen it.

As for other new movies coming out this weekend we’ve got Widows, a crime story that’s already on my must-see list, and Instant Family, a Mark Wahlberg/Rose Byrne comedy. Or you could just stay in and watch all the new clips studios released this week for upcoming releases, as we have plenty of new trailers for you.
