‘Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer’
Nearly a year after it first debuted, Netflix is treating subscribers to the second installment of its true crime docuseries Crime Scene. After exploring the Cecile Hotel, the Downtown Los Angeles location known to some as “LA’s deadliest hotel,” and linked to the mysterious death of college student Elisa Lam, the second installment will venture to Times Square. In Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer, the series will flash back to the ’70s and ’80s and examine how the danger and depravity of New York’s Times Square during those decades made it possible for one man to commit – and nearly get away with – unthinkable acts.
‘Cobra Kai’ – Season 4
After hopping from YouTube Red to Netflix in January of this year, Cobra Kai is returning to the streaming platform for its fourth season. Set 30 years after the events of The Karate Kid, the series is told from the perspective of Johnny Lawrence, who’s been down-and-out since that fateful All Valley Karate Tournament in 1984. The rivalry between him and the now-successful Daniel LaRusso is reignited, with Daniel forced to handle it without the calm, guiding hand of Mr. Miyagi. In Season 4, the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang dojos join forces to take down Cobra Kai at the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament. Cobra Kai Season 4 will be available for streaming on Friday, Dec. 31.
