Heartbreak High
The first season of the Netflix original series Heartbreak High is now available to stream. The series follows Amerie (Ayesha Madon), who many viewers will be able to relate to this character as she makes a huge faux pas in high school and her peers rally against her.
Amerie creates what she calls “The Incest Map,” documenting all of the student’s hookups, listing them by name and the acts they have done and with whom. Understandably, people are not happy with this map, and everyone shuns her, including the love of her life. Now she will have to try to undo the wrongs she has done and win back her friends.
Sins of Our Mother
A new docuseries, Sins of Our Mother, has been released, and true crime fans won’t want to miss one. Lori Vallow was a devoted mother, loving wife, and devout Christian. In three years, that all changed, and she is now in jail, awaiting trial for conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder. These charges are connected to the deaths of her fourth husband, her fifth husband’s wife, and her two youngest children.
The three-part series sees Vallow’s only surviving son, Colby, step forward and shed new light on his mother’s alleged crimes and his family’s backstory. Sins of Our Mother tries to answer the question everyone has: How did Lori Vallow, devout wife, mother and Christian, become involved in the murders?
In the Dark season 4
The fourth and final season of the The CW’s In the Dark is now streaming on Netflix. The series follows Murphy Mason (Perry Mattfeld), a flawed and disrespectful woman who is the only witness to her drug-dealing friend Tyson’s (Thamela Mpumlwana) murder.
Murphy is blind, and the police dismiss her story of her friend’s death, which prompts her to seek out the killer with her dog, Pretzel. As she works on solving his murder, she continues her colorful dating life while getting wrapped up further into the crime world. The fourth season brings the series to a shocking close you don’t want to miss.
The Crown
