Crime Scene Berlin: Nightlife Killer

Together: Treble Winners

Hot on the heels of Netflix’s most popular football documentary, ‘Sunderland ‘Til I Die’, this new Manchester City series follows Pep Guardiola and his team as they go on a quest for a memorable treble.

The Cursed

This highly rated horror mystery from 2021 was praised by critics and film fans alike on release. Set in 19th-century France, the film follows a man who arrives in a remote village to investigate a wild animal attack. However, a more sinister force appears to be at large on the manor and it is determined to keep its grip on the town forever.

The Hijacking of Flight 601

When two armed men hijacked an airliner in mid-flight in order to apply pressure to the Colombian government and get 50 political prisoners released alongside a big ransom, a battle of wits begins. Based on a true story, this series is expected to be one of the most riveting in the month of April and adds to Netflix’s already strong true crime collection.
