  • There are also crime documentary series such as “Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer” and “The Jinx.”

Netflix’s vast collection of the real crime shows and movies continue to grow with the latest addition, “The woman of the hour.”

Thriller stars Anna Kendrick as an aspiring actor named Sheryl, who gets hired as a bachelor on the reality show “The Dating Game.” Unbeknownst to her, one of the three bachelors vying for her heart is a serial killer named Rodney (Daniel Zovatto).
