2. Mindhunter
Mindhunter, the new series from Netflix, is interesting in advance for several reasons. First of all, because David Fincher produced and directed the series. Fincher has previously helmed such films as Gone Girl, Se7en and Zodiac.
This Netflix series is right up that street, because it’s all about two FBI agents who start an investigation in the late 1970s to get to the bottom of serious criminals. Mindhunter is based on the book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Uni from FBI Agent John Douglas. He was investigating killers like Ted Bundy and Charles Manson. It promises to be another crime hit on Netflix just like that.

5. The Hateful Eight
Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film and his second western: The Hateful Eight. A good addition to the Netflix offer now that it is starting to get colder outside. This film focuses on a wooden log cabin, where eight people gather to shelter from the cutting cold.
At that location a real unravels at a slow pace (the film lasts almost three hours) whodunnit. With the necessary action, because it remains a Tarantino film. Starring roles include Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Madsen.
