Netflix is removing James Nesbitt’s delightful Irish comedy in May

As a dedicated gamer, I gotta warn my fellow binge-watchers out there – if you haven’t checked out the hilarious Irish comedy “Waking Ned” on Netflix yet, better do it fast! It seems like the streaming giant is about to pull the plug on this gem from their catalog. Don’t miss your chance to join the fun before it’s too late!

In 1998, the film titled “Waking Ned” unfolds around two close companions from a tiny Irish town, who stumble upon the fact that one of their neighbors has struck it rich with a lottery win.

After conducting their investigation and finding out that the victor had passed away due to the suddenness of his winnings, they devise a strategy to collect the reward instead.

Starting from May 6th, the film ‘Waking Ned’ will no longer be available on Netflix; it has been there since November. So, if you wish to catch it on this platform, make sure to do so promptly.

The movie, featuring actors like Ian Bannen and David Kelly, received positive reviews and boasts an impressive 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 61 critic appraisals, earning it the ‘Certified Fresh’ label.

The site’s critical consensus states that “Waking Ned” is a charming comedy with a gentle, uplifting humor that surprises in delightful, effective ways.

Upcoming, Nesbitt will appear in Netflix’s new production based on Harlan Coben’s work titled “Run Away“. In this role, he portrays a father who experiences a dramatic change in life when his daughter elopes from home.

Among the other actors appearing in this production are Tracy-Ann Oberman from “EastEnders”, Minnie Driver, Ellie de Lange known for her role in “The Serpent”, Ruth Jones who is famous for “Gavin & Stacey”, Alfred Enoch, a cast member of “How to Get Away with Murder”, and Jon Pointing, starring in “Big Boys”.

According to Coben, Run Away explores the concept of family – it delves into the lengths we go to preserve our family unit, the secrets we hide within our family circle, and the secrets that bind us as a family.

Each time you pass by the house, it’s as if an entirely different world exists beyond that door, and we all remain oblivious to its secrets.
