Fito Páez: The World Within a Song — A documentary crew spent a year following the Argentine rock legend, coming away with a more-intimate-than-ever portrait of his life and work. And also a nice set of towels from the Hilton Buenos Aires. (Netflix)

Gandhari — Yet another story about a mother on the hunt for her missing daughter, this one set in the fictional Indian town of Joypurra.

The Grand Tour Season 7 — Jeremy Clarkson infamously got booted from his own Top Gear knockoff for assaulting a crew member and using the n-word, leading co-stars Richard Hammond and James May to walk off the show in solidarity. Their replacements are James Engelsman and Thomas Holland of YouTube’s Throttle House, plus trainspotter-turned-influencer Francis Bourgeois. That trio has got some big shoes to fill, so hopefully they’re already practicing how to play grab-ass with interns and retweet Pepe memes. (Prime Video)

Parasomnia — The real-world phenomenon of night terrors is the impetus for a shocker in which a woman begins to fear that the force that’s been interrupting her sleep has also caused the disappearance of her best friend.
