Netflix to Add 125 New Titles In October – Here’s the 3 Most Interesting

Netflix next month (October 2024) plans to add 125 TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting new titles, in my humble opinion:
The Diplomat (Season two)
Keri Russell, who shined so brightly as a Russian agent in FX’s The Americans, returns to the political/espionage stage playing a U.S. ambassador to England who must manage a series of international conflicts while watching her marriage crumble. I watched several episodes of season one and was hooked on Russell’s performance as the diplomat-in-distress, but the show does tend to get a bit soapy (and talky) at times. Season two debuts on October 31. Season one now on Netflix.
The Menendez Brothers — Netflix Documentary
Did you watch Netflix’s limited series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story? Now you can watch the Netflix documentary on the two brothers who were convicted of murdering their parents amid accusations of parental sexual abuse. Were Lyle and Erik ‘justified’ in their actions? Or were they examples of evil personified who should rot in jail for the rest of their lives? Perhaps the doc will shed some light minus Ryan Murphy’s dramatic license used liberally in the fictional series.
Woman of the Hour (2024)
Anna Kendrick stars (and directs) in this retelling of a real-life serial killer who appeared on The Dating Game in 1978 and actually won the date! The movie, which focuses on the filming of the show, is generating rave reviews from the critics for both Kendrick’s direction and her performance as the woman who unknowingly chooses a killer on national television. Debuts on October 18.
