"Mob War: Philadelphia vs The Mafia" is the latest series to claim the top spot on the streaming service, and if you're in the mood for a documentary, it just might be the watch for you.

This three-part series takes us back to the '90s, where the City of Brotherly Love was the site of a brutal battle for control between two warring factions. Netflix puts it best on YouTube: "Long in the shadow of New York, the story of the Philly mob is MORE violent and MORE compelling than anything ever witnessed in Gotham."

'Nobody Wants This'

Netflix's hit rom-com "Nobody Wants This" is back for a second season, and it's just as easy to love this time around (I would know: I've already binge-watched the entire second season).

After we spent the first season watching sparks fly between agnostic podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) and rabbi Noah (Adam Brody), this second season continues to be as watchable, thanks in no small part to the fact that their on-screen chemistry is just that good. That unlikely couple is still going strong here, facing new challenges as they commit to merging their lives — and loved ones — together as one big group.

If you're a fan of Giancarlo Esposito (who isn't?), you might want to check out this new-to-Netflix crime drama from regular Harlan Coben collaborator, Danny Brocklehurst ("Fool Me Once," "Missing You," "Lazarus") which was just added today (Oct. 24).

The series is based on Brocklehurst's 2014 hit UK series, "The Driver," and originally premiered on AMC in March 2024. It introduces us to Gray Parish (Esposito), a man with a troubled, criminal past who has given up his old ways to turn his hand at being a family man. Haunted by the death of his son, he's pulled into an adrenaline-charged race through the criminal underworld...
