The holidays are usually filled with uplifting, family-focused trite with feel-good endings. Rarely do you get the kind of murder and mystery us crime fans live for (after all, he sees you when you're sleeping …)—and unfortunately, Netflix sided with the world on this one.
No worries, though! Netflix still has plenty of mysteries, thrillers, and all things killer in their catalog to satisfy … just not a whole lot of new material for December. At least we get a Christmas present with Marvel's Captain America: Civil War coming December 25th as part of the deal with Disney.
