If you haven't caught up on Season 1, you can do that now.
"Lights Out"
Your electric bill may not appreciate this one, but the horror film starring Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Billy Burke, Maria Bello, and Alexander DiPersia is available for digital purchase October 11, before the Blu-ray and DVD debut October 25. Palmer plays Rebecca, who grew up never knowing that was real and not real when the lights went out. Now her little brother Martin (Bateman) is experiencing the same terrifying events that tested her sanity. Be very afraid of the dark!
"Goliath" (Amazon)This Amazon Original Series -- from David E. Kelley and Jonathan Shapiro -- stars Billy Bob Thornton as a disgraced lawyer on the road to redemption after he agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of his former law firm. As Variety wrote, in a review praising Thornton's performance, "'Goliath' is essentially a combination of two stalwart TV forms — the law drama and the antihero serial — but Kelley and star Billy Bob Thornton imbue the proceedings with a great deal of texture, specificity, and energy. If you like an enjoyably combative courtroom scene or testy depositions in which prickly, smart people spar, 'Goliath' has a number of moments that recall the most bracing episodes of 'The Good Wife.'" Sounds good from here! The 10 episodes premiere October 14 on Amazon Video.
TV Worth Watching

Faster than a speeding bullet, Melissa Benoist's Supergirl has taken her show from CBS to The CW!

While Kara is thrilled to have family in town, Alex (Chyler Leigh) feels a bit left out. Meanwhile, Hank (David Harewood) and Supergirl are stunned by the pod that came crashing to Earth.

New on Netflix
"Mascots" (Netflix Original)Get ready to cheer, Christopher Guest fans! The comedy icon's latest mockumentary is available on Netflix October 13.

Sounds vaguely like a "Best in Show" for mascots, so let's hope it's up to the same standard. (Or maybe even up to the 11 standard of "This Is Spinal Tap" and "Waiting For Guffman.")
"Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang" (Netflix Original)
Director Kevin Macdonald showcases Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang's in this explosive (literally!) documentary available for streaming on Netflix starting October 14.

With Macdonald at the helm, plus Wes Anderson's career-long cinematographer Robert Yeoman behind the camera, the film becomes a spectacle on par with one of Cai's incredible artworks." Watch the trailer over here.
