As Halloween comes closer and the nights grow colder, Netflix and chill is becoming literal. But with so little time and so much to watch, figuring out what to watch can become a drag. So forget the struggle of planning your week's bingeing and let us give you the facts, so you can watch your new favourites.
Here's what's streaming this week:
1. Salt Fat Acid Heat (Netflix, October 11)
