Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes — Netflix
Documentarian Joe Berlinger has created something of a cottage industry from making docuseries about infamous serial killers using recordings of actual interviews with chilling psychopaths. Following the much-hyped and much-criticised Ryan Murphy dramatisation of the life and times of Jeffrey Dahmer, Berlinger offers Dahmer’s account of his story in his own words as told to detectives after his arrest in 1991 — before his murder by a fellow inmate in 1994.
The Rehearsal — Showmax
In the overpopulated streaming age it’s becoming increasingly difficult to pick shows truly unlike anything else out there. However, it’s safe to say that comedian Nathan Fielder’s new show is one of the most bizarre, compelling and uniquely uncomfortable explorations of human behaviour you’ll ever see on television. Given full rein to unleash his particular brand of high-cringe, deadpan black comedy, Fielder creates an absurdist multilevel, genre-bending comedy from a singular premise — what if you had the ability to rehearse for a life situation before you encountered it? The results are part reality television, part blackly comic foible-fuelled disaster; and wholly not at all what the participants, audience or even Fielder could hope to expect in spite of all the preparation. Streaming begins on October 10.

Glitch — Netflix

James Bond Collection — Prime Video
