October was always going to be a packed month for new shows and movies on Netflix, with a litany of horror titles, and returns for Daredevil and Making a Murderer. Among the other Netflix original shows you'll be able to check out are BBC smash hit Bodyguard(October 24th), Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj(weekly episodes start October 28th), drag queen reality series Dancing Queen and season two of Big Mouth (both October 5th).
On the movie side of the originals newcomers, there's 22 July, about the 2011 attacks in Norway in which 77 people died. Paul Greengrass, of Bourne franchise and Captain Phillips fame, directed the film, which hits Netflix October 10th.
Also on the way are Private Life (October 5th), about a couple's struggle to start a family, and The Kindergarten Teacher, in which the titular character, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, goes to great lengths to protect a talented student. That arrives October 12th.
As for non-Netflix original titles, October 1st brings the likes of prison drama The Green Mile, classic fantasy saga The Neverending Story, Stanley Kubrick's iconic The Shining and the first two Blade movies. You'll also be able to stream Monty Python's Life of Brian (October 2nd), season four of Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek (October 11th) and the second and final season of Great News (October 25th).
On a lower note, some shows and movies are disappearing from Netflix for the time being. You'll have until October 1st to watch Full Metal Jacket, Bad Boys, Freaks and Geeks and Curse of Chucky on the streaming service. If you've been bingeing 90210, you'll have to finish by October 8th or hunt down the remaining episodes elsewhere. And it's just as well there's a cadre of horror movies and shows on the way because, for some bizarre reason given it's Halloween month, Netflix is dropping the wonderful The Babadook October 14th.

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
Ever since cloning produced Dolly the sheep , scientists have copied a slew of mammals ranging from dogs to ponies. Primates, however, have been elusive -- until now. Chinese researchers have successfully cloned a macaque monkey fetus twice, producing sister monkeys Hua Hua and Zhong Zhong using the same basic method used to create Dolly. The team removed the nucleus from monkey eggs and replaced it with DNA from the fetus, implanting the resulting eggs in female monkeys for them to give birth. The process wasn't easy. It took 127 eggs and 79 embryos to get these results, and it still required a fetus to work (Dolly was cloned from an adult). Still, it reflects progress in cloning science. The team managed the feat by injecting both a form of mRNA and an inhibitor, the combination of which improved the development of blastocysts (the structures that form the embryo) and the pregnancy rate for transplanted embryos. Both baby macaques are healthy, the researchers said, and genet...
