The series on the monster of Florence arrives, “The Monster” (October 22)

We’ve been talking about it for a long time and now, finally, it’s coming to Netflix. We are talking about Stefano Sollima’s series on the Monster of Florence which debuts this week on the platform after a preview at the Venice Film Festival.

Eight double murders. Seventeen years of terror. Always the same weapon. A 22 caliber Beretta. One of the longest and most complex Italian investigations into the first and most brutal serial killer in the country’s history: The Monster of Florence becomes a TV series.

In a story where there have been many possible monsters, over time and investigations, this story explores them, the possible monsters, from their point of view. Because the monster, in the end, could be anyone.

“Nobody Wants This” returns with Adam Brody and Kristen Bell (October 23)

After the enormous success of its first season, which has now become a true love manual for Millennials, “Nobody Wants This”, the romantic series with Adam Brody and Kristen Bell, returns to Netflix. Consisting of 10 new episodes, this season starts from here: first comes love, then life.

When we last saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Kristen Bell) and eccentric (and charming) Rabbi Noah (Adam Brody), their unparalleled chemistry surprised everyone around them, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons), sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves.

Their spark proved to be stronger than all the obstacles that tried to separate them. Now they are back and are determined to unite their lives and bring their loved ones closer. But differences still exist and cannot be ignored. The challenge now is not just to fall in love against all odds, but to stay together regardless of them.
