If you're looking for a documentary, there's the "Pillowcase Murders," about a suspected serial killer, or "Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal," a Netflix docuseries about the hack of the controversial dating site that catered to adulterers.
For something lighter, you can also check out new episodes of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," or catch up on the series finale of "Young Sheldon."
