Omar Sy<\/a> returns as Assane Diop, who has turned his disgust with the rich and powerful \u2014 and his love of the author Maurice Leblanc\u2019s gentleman thief character Ars\u00e8ne Lupin \u2014 into a lucrative career as a criminal mastermind. The show\u2019s twisty plotting jumps between thrilling caper sequences and scenes that explore Assane\u2019s past as the son of a Senegalese immigrant. The previous set of episodes ended with the hero achieving one of his major goals: exacting revenge on his family\u2019s greatest enemy. The new set begins with Assane on the run and plotting his next moves \u2014 which are complicated by his becoming something of a national folk hero.<\/p>\n\u2018Fair Play\u2019<\/h2>\n
Starts streaming:<\/strong> Oct. 6<\/p>\nThis edgy business-world drama was a sensation at Sundance earlier this year, stirring up audiences with its story of two ambitious young hedge fund analysts \u2014 Emily (Phoebe Dynevor from \u201cBridgerton\u201d) and Luke (Alden Ehrenreich from \u201cSolo\u201d) \u2014 whose passionate secret love affair starts going sour after Emily is promoted into a supervisory position at their firm. The writer-director Chloe Domont worked previously on \u201cBillions\u201d and \u201cBallers,\u201d two TV series that examine how money and power complicate interpersonal relationships. With \u201cFair Play,\u201d Domont also factors in gender roles, as the couple is pulled apart by the demands of an industry that values macho swagger. The film has the rhythm of a thriller, anchored by the question of whether Emily and Luke\u2019s romance and careers can survive her sudden success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018The Fall of the House of Usher\u2019<\/h2>\n
Starts streaming:<\/strong> Oct. 12<\/p>\nThe third of the writer-director Mike Flanagan\u2019s literary horror mini-series for Netflix (after \u201cThe Haunting of Hill House\u201d and \u201cThe Haunting of Bly Manor\u201d) uses the Edgar Allan Poe short story \u201cThe Fall of the House of Usher\u201d as a jumping-off point for a social satire with gothic overtones. Bruce Greenwood plays Roderick Usher, the patriarch of a large and wealthy family that has made much of its fortune peddling dangerous pharmaceuticals. When all of his grown children begin dying, Roderick tells the crusading attorney C. Auguste Dupin (Carl Lumbly) the story of his tragedy scarred, supernaturally plagued life. Flanagan and his writers borrow names and ideas from other Poe books; but they have set their saga and its thematic concerns in the modern day, with a stellar cast that also includes Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Mary McDonnell and Henry Thomas.<\/p>\n
\u2018Pain Hustlers\u2019<\/h2>\n
Starts streaming:<\/strong> Oct. 27<\/p>\nEmily Blunt and Chris Evans play persuasive pharmaceutical salespeople in the drama \u201cPain Hustlers,\u201d the latest in a recent string of films and TV series that dig into the roots of America\u2019s opioid crisis. The movie is directed by David Yates, who has spent much of the past 15 years at the helm of the Harry Potter movie franchise; and it was scripted by Wells Tower, who has won acclaim as an author of short fiction. These two adapt Evan Hughes\u2019s nonfiction book of the same name, turning it into a fast-paced and fact-filled big business expos\u00e9. It is similar to the likes of \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street\u201d and \u201cThe Big Short\u201d in the way it uses documentary-style interludes and charismatic antiheroes to tell the story of how greed and lax ethics played a role in the systemic overprescribing of painkillers.<\/p>\n
