‘MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street’
Netflix is shining a light on the largest Ponzi scheme in history in its upcoming new docuseries MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street. From documentarian Joe Berlinger, the new four-part series, described by the streamer as an “edge-of-your-seat” experience, chronicles the rise and fall of financier Bernie Madoff, who orchestrated one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in the history of Wall Street. The docuseries features interviews with “whistleblowers, employees, investigators, and victims,” as well as never-before-seen footage of Madoff’s video depositions. It is set to debut on Wednesday, Jan. 4.
‘Ginny & Georgia: Season 2’
The mother-daughter journey of Georgia and Ginny Miller continues on Thursday when Season 2 of Netflix’s hit drama Ginny & Georgia debuts. The Netflix original series follows 15-year-old Ginny Miller as she settles into life in a small New England town with her mom, Georgia, and her younger brother, but Georgia’s past causes strain for the family. Set to pick up where Season 1 ended, Season 2 will find Ginny staying with her dad, Zion, and slowly coming to understand her mother. As new relationships and challenges face the mother-daughter dup, secrets from the past threaten everything.
‘Mumbai Mafia: Police vs The Underworld’
The new year may have only just begun, but Netflix isn’t wasting any time stocking its true crime library with new titles. Marking the first Indian Netflix original film of 2023, Mumbai Mafia: Police vs The Underworld documents the “battle for the future of Mumbai” throughout the 1990s, a time during which a crime boss and his network wield unchecked power over the city. However, the rise of “encounter cops,” who brazenly kill their targets, changed the course of Mumbai’s future. Set to release on Friday, Jan. 6, the documentary offers a “gritty, grimy true to life depiction” that “showcases the chase between the D-Company and the Ecounter [sic] Squad through extortion, racketeering, drugs and finally terrorism.”
‘Pressure Cooker’
Netflix is amping up the tension on the traditional cooking competition in its new original series Pressure Cooker. Premiering Friday, the new series sees 11 chefs living under one roof as they put their culinary skills and strategies to the test as they face off in a series of challenges. The twist? The chefs don’t have to just impress the judges, they have to impress their fellow competitors, who vote on who among them will be crowned top chef and will win $100,000. The new series puts competitors in a house together to determine who is the ultimate chef’s chef.
