Stranger Things. Riverdale. Jane The Virgin. David Fincher. October on Netflix UK basically reads as a list of all your favourite words from the past year. Yes, while the grey, dull evenings of autumn set in, Netflix is busy getting the part started, taking us back to Hawkins, Indiana, for more 80s-themed, Upside Down happenings, before taking us back even further into the creepy past with Mindhunter, David Fincher’s thriller about the FBI’s attempts to profile and catch serial killers in the 1970s.

That alone would be enough to keep anyone happy, but October’s also a month that whisks us back to the gloriously trashy teen world of Riverdale, with The CW’s reboot of Dynasty not far behind – episodes of those arrive each week, balancing out the all-at-once burst of excitement from Netflix’s other originals, such as Suburra and Noah Baumbach’s possible awards contender, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected). Speaking of weekly arrivals, October’s a month guaranteed to reward patient streamers, with Rick and Morty’s finale finally here, alongside new episodes of The Good Place Seasonbb 2, Star Trek: Discovery, Designated Survivor, and did we mention Once Upon a Time Season 7 and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Season 3? Look, just stop reading now, WhatsApp all your friends and tell them you’re busy for the next four weeks.
