This brand new documentary came out last week and gives an inside look at the story surrounding the sensation that arose around games shop GameStop. Indeed, the shares of this game store were worth next to nothing, but skyrocketed after a group of small private investors on discussion forum Reddit called for the purchase of shares. By doing so, the investors wanted to put shortsellers to shame. The plan seemed to work, as Gamestop's share price rose more than 1,700 percent! Big hedge funds never expected this and speculated that the shares would become worth less, with this the big guys lost a lot of money, some even almost went bankrupt. None other than Jordan Belfort, the real Wolf of Wall Street explains the absurd situation in detail in this docu.

Talk about a true binge watch series; the blood-curdling eight episodes of the series Kalifat will most likely have you watching out in one sitting. This Swedish series is about several women who all, in their own way, become involved in a future IS attack in Sweden. For example, Pervin is an IS bride who does everything she can to flee the IS area in Raqqa. Pervin believes her husband is involved in plotting an attack and makes the life-threatening choice to approach someone in the secret service in Sweden. At the same time, the two teenagers Sulle and Kerime, blinded by love, are doing everything they can to get from Stockholm to the caliphate of IS. Working together, these women must prevent an attack or will it already be too late?
