Netflix this week (August 11-17) this week plans to add 18 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including 14 originals. (Note: Netflix labels a show an ‘original’ even if it first airs in another country, but airs first on Netflix in the United States.)
The new titles will include season two of Mindhunter, a Netflix original drama (based on a real-life story) from producer David Fincher about a FBI agent who hunts serial killers. The new season will feature story arcs revolving around Charles Manson, David Berkowitz (“Son of Sam”) and the Atlanta Child Murderers case. Creepy enough for you?

RottenTomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews, gave season one a score of 97 out of a possible 100, based on 95 reviews.
“Most TV crime dramas are whodunits. Columbo famously reversed things by starting with the murder, and making it a “How’d he get him?” Mindhunter, in contrast to both those approaches, is all about motive. It’s a “Whydunit,’ ” writes David Bianculli of NPR.
Also notable this week: Season three of QB1: Beyond the Lights, a Netflix original documentary about three high school quarterbacks who seek the big time in division one football.
