In the gallery above, our editors have selected the coming month's most promising TV shows (including limited series and specials) as well as movies available to watch at home through VOD and digital purchases, listed in order by premiere date. Many of these titles haven't been reviewed yet (and we haven't seen them), but they are the most intriguing new releases on paper, at least, arriving in October.
Documentary film debuts October 2 on Netflix. Widely acclaimed at its Sundance premiere early this year, Kirsten Johnson’s unconventional new documentary follows her excellent 2016 film Cameraperson. Dead, which picked up a special jury award for "innovation in non-fiction storytelling" at the festival, is a moving, humorous, and celebratory examination of her own 86-year-old father's waning days as he begins to succumb to Alzheimer's disease. Her dad was a willing partner in the film, and the results are much more lighthearted than you might expect from the subject matter.
