What to watch on Netflix in October 2022
The Midnight Club
In this spooky new series coming to Netflix on October 7th, the story follows a group of five terminally ill patients at Brightcliffe Hospice who start holding a series of midnight gatherings.

Either way, this hip new show will make for a fun watch ahead of Halloween weekend.
The Good Nurse
Led by Hollywood A-listers Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain, this Netflix film follows Nurse Amy Loughren (Chastain) who is put in a tough spot when her longtime colleague Charlie Cullen (Redmayne) is charged with multiple counts of murdering patients over a 16-year span. Across two states and nine hospitals, Cullen was continually found responsible for these deaths but was never charged for any of them. With two onscreen veterans in Redmayne and Chastain leading the charge, this film will be an absolute must-watch.
