The True-Crime Showdowns: Mob War and The Monster of Florence
- Mob War: Philadelphia vs. the Mafia: Get ready to dive deep into the gritty streets of 1990s Philadelphia, where the City of Brotherly Love becomes ground zero for a fierce mob battle. Releasing Wednesday, October 22, all three episodes of this docuseries will drop simultaneously. The official description: “Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love, but in the ’90s, it was a bloodbath. Two warring mob factions battle for control in this true-crime series.”
- Directed by Raissa Botterman—known for Netflix’s true-crime hit My Daughter’s Killer (2022)—this series oozes appeal for fans of gangster classics like The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Departed. Anyone with ties to Philadelphia will find this both thrilling and educational. Start chilling your cannolis now.
- The Monster of Florence: If Italian true crime sounds more your vibe, this fresh limited series (also dropping October 22) serves four spine-tingling episodes based on real events. The show spotlights the infamous “Florence Monster,” described as possibly the most well-known and enigmatic serial killer in recent Italian history. Think spine-tingling mystery meets European intrigue.
- While the Monster of Florence story is legendary in Italy and much of Europe, it’s likely to be a hair-raising discovery for many American audiences. If you devoured previous Netflix hits like Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Wayward, and True Haunting, this one is practically mandatory viewing before October wraps up.
Streaming Powerhouses: No One Saw Us Leave & Nobody Wants This (Season 2)
- No One Saw Us Leave: This limited drama series has quietly become a streaming juggernaut—currently the #1 most-watched show globally and holding strong in the U.S. top 5 (per FlixPatrol). At just five episodes, it’s an ideal binge for anyone not looking to commit to a marathon. The gripping plot: “Follows a mother desperately pursuing her husband who kidnapped their children, highlighting the clash between two powerful Jewish families in the 1960s.”
- The show, despite global popularity, has sparked some debate and only holds a 6.2 IMDb rating. But as with all polarizing art, the only way to know for sure is to hit ‘play’ yourself—sometimes it’s more fun to join the debate than sit it out.
- Nobody Wants This (Season 2): If true crime and drama are a tad too intense this week, take a brisk detour into romantic comedy territory. Nobody Wants This returns with ten new episodes on Thursday, October 23. Season one, starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as a charmingly awkward couple, was nominated for three Emmys and boasts fantastic lead chemistry.
- Episodes are bite-sized (30 minutes or less), so you still have time to catch up on season one. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%, this is one of those crowd-pleasers poised to shake up the Netflix charts—perhaps even toppling favorites like No One Saw Us Leave, The Diplomat, and Boots off their perch.
Robbery Done Right: Baby Bandito Is Back
- The Spanish-language sensation Baby Bandito is back for a second season this Wednesday, October 22. The first outing was a smash hit—a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, no less—so expectations for season two are sky-high.
- The crime series follows Kevin Tapia, a 21-year-old skater who managed to pull off one of the most extraordinary heists in Chilean history. All eight episodes of season one are available for a quick binge leading up to the new season’s debut.
- If you’re a fan of heist classics like Ocean’s Eleven or Heat, but appreciate a modern twist as seen in Logan Lucky and Good Time, then Baby Bandito fits the bill perfectly. Grab your popcorn and maybe brush up on your Spanish.
