Look, there’s a lot of TV out there dealing with relationships, but Heated Rivalry really stood out to me. It wasn’t just about the intimacy, it dug into some genuinely emotional stuff with characters who felt so real and relatable – you could really feel their longing. And honestly, with so much good TV already this year, and Stranger Things Season 5 Part 2 coming up, the fact that everyone’s still buzzing about Ilya and Shane’s story is huge. Thankfully, it’s been renewed for a second season, so when the season one finale, Episode 6, drops on December 26th, 2026, we know we’ll get to see more of them!

To be honest, not every Stephen King book needs to be made into a movie or TV show. While The Eyes of the Dragon is a decent story about a king’s murder, it feels too much like George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. And Insomnia, about a man suffering from sleeplessness, just isn’t captivating or scary enough. So, which book has the best chance of becoming a hit like The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, Mist, It, and The Green Mile? The answer is Roadwork, originally published in 1981 under the name Richard Bachman – it’s the most deserving of an adaptation.

While shows like Yellowstone get a lot of attention, Prime Video’s The English is a lesser-known but excellent miniseries. Created by Hugo Blick (known for Black Earth Rising and The Honourable Woman), it stars Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer. The story takes place in 1890 and follows an English woman who travels West to avenge her son, finding an unlikely ally in a former Pawnee scout.
