Mob War: Philadelphia Vs. The Mafia
Mob War: Philadelphia vs. the Mafia is a brand new documentary series that releases on Netflix this Wednesday, October 22, 2025. All three episodes of the new docuseries will drop at the same time. The official logline reads, “Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love, but in the ’90s, it was a bloodbath. Two warring mob factions battle for control in this true-crime series.”
This new series is directed by Raissa Botterman, best known for the popular Netflix true-crime documentary My Daughter’s Killer (2022). For fans of classic mob movies like The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Departed, this series already has very high appeal, especially since it’s based on real-life events. Those who live in or have a connection to Philadelphia will also find this series both riveting and educational.
The Monster of Florence
The Monster of Florence is another brand new series on Netflix that releases this Wedmesday, October 22, 2025. Although this is a limited series rather than a documentray, the 4-part series is also based on real events. The logline reads: “An Italian true crime series about Florence Monster, probably the most well-known and enigmatic serial killer in recent Italian history.”
Although the Monster of Florence is infamous in Italy and much of Europe, American viewers may not be familiar with this chilling true crime story. Based on Netflix’s recent success with its new horror and thriller series, such as Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Wayward, and True Haunting, The Monster of Florence is bound to be one of the most-watched and talked about series heading into the final weekend of October.
No One Saw Us Leave
No One Saw Us Leave has quietly become one of the most popular global streaming series of Fall 2025. It’s currently the #1 most-watched Netflix series in the world and the fourth most-watched series in the United States (via FlixPatrol). The limited drama series only consists of 5 episodes, making it perfect to binge-watch in just a few sessions.
The official logline reads, “Follows a mother desperately pursuing her husband who kidnapped their children, highlighting the clash between two powerful Jewish families in the 1960s.” Despite its massive global streaming popularity, No One Saw Us Leave has divided audiences and only has an IMDb rating of 6.2. This is one of those series that you’ll have to press play on somewhat blindly to figure out if it’s worth your time this week.
Nobody Wants This
Perhaps the biggest new release on Netflix this week is Nobody Wants This season 2, which will drop entirely with 10 new episodes on Thursday, October 23, 2025. The romantic comedy series was nominated for 3 Emmys for its debut season and features great chemistry between its lead couple, played by Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
There’s still time to binge-watch Nobody Wants This season 1 if you haven’t seen it already, so you’ll be ready to tune into season 2 this week. Each episode is just 30 minutes or less. The series was beloved by critics and audiences alike, resulting in a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%.
This one will undoubtedly land towards the top of Netflix’s viewership charts this week and will look to knock off Netflix’s current heavy hitters – No One Saw Us Leave, The Diplomat, and Boots – from the #1 spot.
Baby Bandito
The popular Spanish-language Netflix series Baby Bandito returns with its second season on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. The first season of Baby Bandito earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score following its 2024 release, setting up what could be an even bigger – and better – season 2.
The series follows Kevin Tapia, a 21-year-old skater who pulled off one of the biggest heists in Chilean history. Based on a remarkable true story, the first season consists of eight episodes, all of which can be easily binge-watched before the season 2 premiere.
If you consider yourself a fan of classic heist movies like Ocean’s Eleven or Heat, but are looking for a fresh twist on the genre as seen in Logan Lucky and Good Time, then Baby Bandito is the perfect Netflix series for you to binge this week.
