### The Sons of Sam, *Netflix*

The hunt for the ‘Son of Sam’ captivated the world in the late 1970s, but the story behind one of America’s most notorious serial murderers is all but forgotten – until now. While the arrest and conviction of David Berkowitz brought the nightmare to an end for many New Yorkers, for journalist and *Ultimate Evil* author Maury Terry, the real mystery was just beginning. Terry, convinced Berkowitz had not acted alone, would go on to spend decades attempting to prove that the web of darkness behind the murders went deeper than anyone imagined – and his pursuit of that elusive truth would eventually cost him everything. This new documentary draws on archival news footage, conversations with the people closest to the investigation, and Terry’s own words and case files to tell a cautionary tale of a man who went down a rabbit hole – and never came out.

### Money Explained, *Netflix*

Most people have a complicated relationship with money. And because it’s taboo to talk about money, we might not realise how normal we are. Netflix Original *Money, Explained* puts it all out in the open: the ways your credit card might be screwing you; how student loans became a crisis; why most of us won’t be able to save enough for retirement; and how we get tricked into bad gambles and even worse scams. The series breaks down the weaknesses we all share when it comes to money, the devious ways they're exploited, and – thankfully – the best strategies out there to navigate it all. Essential viewing.

### Halston, *Netflix*

This forthcoming limited series follows the legendary fashion designer Halston (Ewan McGregor), as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that’s synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame. Halston defines the era he lives in – 1970s and 80s New York – until a hostile takeover forces him to battle for control of his most precious asset: the name Halston itself. The series is executive produced by Ryan Murphy – the man behind *Glee* and *Pose* – so we’re expecting great things.

### Master of None, *Netflix*

The Emmy Award-winning *Master of None* returns with a new season that chronicles the relationship of Denise (Lena Waithe) and her partner Alicia (Naomi Ackie). Directed by series co-creator and Emmy winner Aziz Ansari – and scripted by Ansari and Waithe – this new season is a modern love story that intimately illustrates the ups and downs of marriage, struggles with fertility, and personal growth both together and apart. Fleeting romantic highs meet crushing personal losses while existential questions of love and living are raised, as this third instalment delivers an evolution of the series that remains tethered to previous seasons while breaking new ground.

Set in 1970s London amid the punk rock revolution, the film follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they’re able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic, played by Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the revenge-bent Cruella.
