Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist Netflix Original Series
Arriving May 11th
This is the crazy true story of a pizza delivery man who robbed a bank, then was killed by a bomb fastened around his neck. The series details the investigation. Was it a botched bank heist, eerie treasure hunt, diabolical murder, or all of the above? The deeper detectives go, the weirder this true crime story gets.
I have seen the first two episodes of this series and can definitely say it’s worth tuning into.

Ali Wong returns to Netflix for Mother’s Day. She dishes on motherhood and marriage in a way that sets her apart from a lot of female comedians. If you haven’t seen her first special, Baby Cobra, look it up. It’s streaming now on Netflix and it’s great. (And also came out on Mother’s Day 2 years ago. How about that?)
