The Hateful Eight (2015 & Limited Series)
Number of episodes: 4
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
Director: Quentin Tarantino

Runtime: 168 min / 2h 48m
A good day is any day when a Tarantino title hits Netflix and this week we saw the return of both the 2015 Western The Hateful Eight and its limited series recut that’s exclusive to Netflix.
For those unfamiliar with the movie, here’s what you can expect:
“Years after the Civil War, a bounty hunter and his captive are waylaid by a Wyoming blizzard and hole up in a way station with six dicey strangers.”
If you’re thinking, “Wasn’t The Hateful Eight just on Netflix?” you’d be correct as the title had been streaming for a few years until its departure in January 2023, but it is a welcome addition.
