1 | Halston
Atsushi Nishijim/NetflixEwan McGregor is the eponymous designer in this limited series from super producer Ryan Murphy. Expect the highs and lows of fame, lots of muse Liza Minnelli (as played by Krysta Rodriguez), some iconic fashions from the '70s and '80s, and big, big performances. Whether you already know how influential he was or are a total fashion history dud, you'll be a Halston expert in just five episodes.
2 | The Circle
NetflixNetflix's original reality competition show The Circle became a buzzy hit early in the pandemic, probably because the competitors weren't the only ones confined to their own rooms and communicating with the rest of the world mostly via social media. As of this week, there are two full seasons available, each one featuring a different cast of characters attempting to befriend and one-up each other by creating the perfect (though not always accurate) social media presence.
3 | The Serpent
Roland Neveu/NetflixThis BBC period drama tells the real story of Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim), a serial killer who roamed free for 25 years. Victoria and Doctor Who actor Jenna Coleman co-stars as the girlfriend who helps him hawk the goods he takes from his victims.

4 | Selena: The Series

These new episodes feature more stories from the too-short life of the star, including the time she met a young fan by the name of Beyoncé during a mall appearance. (That really happened!)
5 | The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness
NetflixThe service continues to dominate the world of true crime with this new documentary series that investigates the theory that David Berkowitz (known as the Son of Sam) was not, in fact, responsible for all the New York City murders attributed to him.
