The Netflix documentary 'Being Eddie' offers a glimpse into Eddie Murphy's life at 64, showcasing his career and personal routine. While it provides access to the comedian and his peers, critics note it lacks depth, presenting a limited portrait of his experiences. This documentary is part of a $70 million production deal aimed at encouraging Murphy to return to stand-up comedy, particularly a follow-up to his iconic 1987 special 'Raw'.

Netflix's holiday film 'A Merry Little Ex-Mas,' featuring Alicia Silverstone, has been met with criticism for its lack of charm and originality. Set to release on December 21, 2023, the film is described as another low-budget addition to Netflix's festive lineup, with a production budget of only $13. Critics note its clichéd themes of city versus small town and regressive gender roles, suggesting that it may have benefited from a release closer to Christmas to better capture the holiday spirit. The film's reception reflects a growing concern over the quality of seasonal offerings from the streaming giant.
