The Serpent

Netflix

If you found yourself thinking Ted Bundy was actually quite handsome for a serial killer when his documentary was all over Netflix, watch out — you’re probably going to lose it when you find out about Charles Sobhraj. He’s the suave, enigmatic serial killer who preyed on young backpackers on the hippie trail through Southeast Asia in the 1970s, stealing their passports and using their identities to travel around the place selling jewels. He’s played by French actor Tahar Rahim in this wild 8-part BBC/Netflix drama series based on his life and crimes.
