New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'Anthony Jeselnik: Bones and All'
If you've never watched or listened to Anthony Jeselnik's stand-up, he has a distinct style. His comedy is dark, with an arrogant demeanor that is frankly an acquired taste.
But it's a taste many have acquired over the years because he's just that good. In "Anthony Jeselnik: Bones and All," Jeselnik — now in year 20 of his standup career — he makes no attempt to change up his biting, boundary-pushing comedy routine, as you can see in the trailer above.
Watch on Netflix starting Nov. 26
'The Madness'
"The Madness" stars Colman Domingo as media pundit Muncie Daniels. A former political consultant, he takes a work sabbatical in the Poconos to write the next great American novel, hoping it will help get his life back on track.
But unfortunately, it does just the opposite. Muncie stumbles across the murdered body of a well-known white supremacist, making him the only witness to the crime. Framed for a crime he didn't commit, he's now forced to go on the run in a desperate fight to clear his name and unravel a global conspiracy before time runs out. But whether he can do that and keep his family safe remains to be seen.

'Our Little Secret'
Nothing is more terrifying than a first holiday with a new partner's family. Well, unless their sibling also brings their new partner ... who happens to be your ex.
That's the plot of "Our Little Secret," the latest of Lindsay Lohan's romantic comedies for Netflix. It stars Lohan as Avery, who is spending Christmas with her boyfriend's family only to discover that her ex Logan (Ian Harding) is also spending the holidays there, as he's now dating Avery's boyfriend's sister. Don't miss a single awkward minute of it this week on Netflix.

'Senna'
Throughout the years, there have been many great F1 drivers, but only 11 have ever won three or more World Drivers' Championships. The greatest "what if...?" among those drivers is undoubtedly Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, who some consider the best F1 driver of all time.
Unfortunately, we'll never know just how great Senna could have been, because his life was tragically cut short at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, when a crash near the Tamburello corner at Imola led to his death, just one day after the death of fellow driver Roland Ratzenberger during qualifying.
"Senna" is a new limited series starring Gabriel Leone as the legendary driver and covers Senna's life from the beginning of his career till its unfortunate end. Whether you're an F1 fanatic or love a dramatic miniseries, "Senna" is a must-watch.

'Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey'
JonBenét Ramsey was a six-year-old beauty pageant queen. But after December 26, 1996, she became known for something far more sinister. That morning, her parents John and Patsy Ramsey discovered JonBenét was missing, with a chilling ransom note left in their house. Later that same day they found her in the home's basement, revealing that she had sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in their own home.
Following this reveal, the Boulder, Colorado police quickly cast suspicion on JonBenét's family, possibly due to little experience in such a gruesome, high-profile case. This murder quickly turned into a national obsession and it was only in 2008 that the Boulder DA personally apologized to the Ramsey family and cleared them due to DNA evidence.
But as of today, the murder of JonBenét Ramsey remains unsolved. "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey" examines this famous murder case under the supervision of Academy Award-nominated director Joe Berlinger and tries to shed further light on who may have done this and how everything went so wrong.
