Netflix has seen its membership soar in the past year as a captive audience pores through its content with some even claimed to have ‘completed’ it. 

One of the joys of the streaming platform is the shared experience, and when we can’t do it in person, chatting about the latest Netflix hit has become a global past time.

The documentary series has hit the top spot in the Netflix ratings across the world  with its graphic and intriguing portrayal of the facts surround the real life hotel in Los Angeles. 

Fans of cult Ryan Murphy anthology series American Horror Show however, will have spotted more than a few similarities with The Cecil Hotel and the LA based Hotel Cortez featured in series five, AHS: Hotel (see what they did there?)
