If you're wondering what's worth watching on Netflix this coming week, then you're in the right place, because I've got some suggestions for you.
I'm What to Watch's streaming expert and every week, I create a curated list of the biggest new Netflix Originals that you'll want to watch this week.
Sometimes the shows I pick end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies, sometimes they end up being... not so good, but it's always worth checking them out.
This week we've got quite a few stories about real events, both between documentaries and dramatic retellings. But there's more for people who don't care about the 'based on true events' tag.
So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week.
The Glass Dome
Kicking off the week is a Swedish mystery thriller called The Glass Dome.
The story is about a woman who returns home to a rural town in Sweden at the same time as a young girl disappears. The woman realizes that the girl's case has many similarities with something similar she experienced when she was a child.
