Top picks to stream tonight
‘Kidnapped in Her Own Home: The Martha Carelli Story’ (2026) (Netflix)

Forced to drive his getaway car, Martha secretly leaves clues for authorities while trying to outwit her increasingly volatile captor. With another hostage's life at stake, she must rely on her courage and instincts to survive.
Why you should watch it: If you're a fan of true crime thrillers, this is worth adding to your watchlist.

With his marriage on the line, he faces an impossible choice between loyalty to his wife and his country.
