New TV Series

1.  The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann 2019 Netflix - is a documentary on the disappearance of 3 year old Madeleine Beth McCann on May 3rd 2007..

The film gives a detailed account of the child's disappearance while on holiday with her family at the Ocean Club resort in Praia Da Luz Portugal .. and how on the evening of May 3rd 2007 her parents had left her and her twin siblings sleeping in the family's apartment and walked down to a restaurant by the pool to meet some friends and have dinner... approximately 100 yards from the apartment...

I remember this story vividly.. I remember while my hearts went out for them .. I was extremely saddened that they had chosen to leave her alone.. and how that recklessness on their part will surely haunt them for the rest of their life..  The film is a gripping account .. with interviews and real footage from the disappearance.. It is a very sad film.. that is truly heart breaking..

2.  The Act 2019 Hulu - is a true crime anthology drama.. The series is based on the real life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard (Joey King) and the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard (Patricia Arquette).. Dee Dee was accused of abusing her daughter by fabricating her disabilities and illness (Munchausen syndrome)... ultimately leading to murder..

The series follows Gypsy and her mother once they had moved to Springfield Missouri.. and although the series has just started..  each episode is very interesting, thought provoking and holds your attention for start to finish... Loved Patricia Arquette in the series Escape at Dannemora and she shines in this series as well.. Truly Amazing The Act Trailer

3.  The Case Against Adnan Syed 2019 HBO  - the series is about the ongoing true crime murder case popularized by the podcast Serial. The film gives details of how Adnan Syed became a suspect in the murder and how DNA evidence has not backed up the conviction of Syed.. The film is truly captivating, interesting and thought provoking.. taking up the case details including that of interviews and evidence where the podcast left off..

4.   The Twilight Zone 2019 is a new sci-fi thriller drama anthology series based on the original 1959 television series that was created by Rod Sterling.. The new remake of the series has just started but from what I have seen it is reminiscent of the original series that I watched and loved when I was growing up..  It is interesting, suspenseful and intriguing.. Loved it..

5.   Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes 2019 Netflix  - is a documentary series that is divided into four 1 hour episodes that recounts over 100 hours of interviews and archived footage of infamous serial killer Ted Bundy.. as well as law enforcement, surviving victims.. I actually remember the spree of the killings and new coverage during that time .. and I can honestly say the Netflix series was enlightening.. In fact the series give a detailed account of the history of the serial killer .. and some interviews that were never previously released.. I found it to be insightful and interesting .. especially in proving that serial killers can be anyone.. even those you would least suspect..
