Here's What's New On Netflix In October
There are some good ones here.
Now that Vince Vaughn has been cast in "True Detective," you can catch him in one of his old flicks from 2001, "Domestic Disturbance." Before Jennifer Lawrence returns to the big screen in November, get caught up with "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
Chelsea Handler's comedy special "Uganda Be Kidding Me" will premiere halfway through the month. The special is part of a reported $10 million contract the comedienne signed with the streaming service earlier this year.
Here's what you should check out on Netflix in October:
TV
"Arrow" season 2 (Available 10/8)
The release date was pushed back until this month, but if you still want to catch up before tuning into season three, here's your chance.
"Sons of Anarchy" season 6 (Available 10/25)
The final season of FX's series is already underway, but now you can relive the last season without paying for the disc set.
Chelsea Handler's "Uganda Be Kidding Me" special (Available 10/10)
It's not technically a show, nor is it a movie, so we'll mention it here. Netflix spent a reported $10 million on Handler so it's worth checking out to see if the comedienne was a wise investment for the streaming site.
