Even though Alien: Romulus takes place between Alien and Aliens, it’s a great starting point for new viewers. The film doesn’t follow Ellen Ripley’s story or the events involving David from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Instead, it introduces a fresh set of characters – a younger group who find themselves trapped on a space station with a terrifying Xenomorph.
The popular series has gained new fans through streaming, while longtime viewers continue to enjoy it. Though characters like Dwight, Jim, and Pam were fan favorites, Steve Carell’s Michael Scott truly stood out with his impeccable comedic timing. Michael Scott delivered unforgettable and often awkward lines that became central to the show’s humor, and his best quotes remain popular online, still making people laugh out loud.
Lots of classic Universal Monster movies could be successfully remade today. While a few are well-known, many others haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve from film fans.

Throughout its original run, Scrubs regularly introduced new, younger doctors as the main characters gained experience at Sacred Heart. Season 9 attempted this, but it was widely criticized. Those episodes focused too much on the new interns and sidelined the original cast. The Scrubs revival has avoided that pitfall, while still successfully adding new characters. The first three episodes of the revival were strong, showing these young doctors navigating the start of their careers alongside JD and the familiar cast dealing with their own challenges. However, the show now feels overcrowded in the episode “My Poker Face.”
According to FlixPatrol, the TV series Cross is now the second most popular show on Prime Video in the U.S., moving ahead of Young Sherlock, which has dropped to number three. Cross is also a top 10 show on Prime Video globally, even reaching the number one spot in Nigeria. Like Young Sherlock, it’s based on a series of books.
I was really captivated by Chandler’s performance in Noah Hawley’s Alien series. She played Wendy, which was a fascinating character – the very first of these human-synthetic hybrids created by the Prodigy Corporation. The story behind Wendy was that her consciousness came from a young girl named Marcy who was seriously ill. The show followed Wendy and the other hybrids – they called themselves ‘The Lost Boys’ – as they tried to figure out what happened with the USCSS Maginot, a research vessel that crashed after a deep space mission. It was a really cool exploration of what it means to be human when you’re mixing people with technology, and all the creepy creatures they found along the way!

Netflix has had some huge romance hits, such as the historical drama Bridgerton and the reality show Love is Blind. But many great love stories on the platform don’t get as much attention and become hidden gems. Often, these lesser-known shows are the most rewarding to watch, like the charming 2021 romantic comedy Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.
