What to stream: 'Squid Game' returns, the movie 'Bird' and Mariah Carey teams up with the NFL

The long-awaited second season of “Squid Game” on Netflix and singing superstar Andrea Bocelli’s Christmas TV special are some of the new television, films and music headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: the British coming-of-age tale “Bird” from British filmmaker Andrea Arnold and Mariah Carey's Christmas special ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers game.

— British filmmaker Andrea Arnold (“Fish Tank”) made perhaps her most divisive movie yet with “Bird,” a coming-of-age tale about a 12-year-old named Bailey (Nykiya Adams) that come to MUBI on Monday. Her life in Kent is far from easy, growing up with parents who aren’t far from childhood themselves, including a tattoo covered dad named Bug (Barry Keoghan). But then one day she meets a stranger named Bird (Franz Rogowski) and things take a fantastical turn. In his review for the Associated Press, film writer Jake Coyle wrote that, “A resolutely realistic filmmaker turning to magical realism has the uncomfortable effect of making the whole movie, not just the Rogowski bits, feel inauthentic. Instead of being ‘too real for ya,’ ‘Bird,’ with its in-your-face poverty and narrative extremes, never feels particularly real at all.” MUBI also has Arnold’s “Fish Tank” and “Wasp” available for streaming too.
