Coming a week after a documentary on the true crime hits Netflix, Murder in Galicia gives the scripted treatment to a devastating and confusing killing.
In 2015, Isabel Fuentes was found barely alive in her home in Galicia. She was rushed to the hospital where she was attempting to survive when she was killed while lying in her hospital bed. The case shocked her community and the fight to convict her killer proved difficult.

The Altruists trains its lens further back to when Bankman-Fried met and started working with Caroline Ellison who went on to become a co-founder of Alameda and his girlfriend.
Garner and Boyle take on the lead characters in this sharp look back at the beginning of what would become one of the biggest cases of white collar crime in American history.
