As a big Star Wars fan, I was so excited to hear about The Mandalorian & Grogu coming to theaters – it’s the first movie since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019! We haven’t gotten a full trailer yet, and with the release in May getting closer, I was really hoping the Super Bowl would finally give us something more than just that short teaser from last September. I’m still holding out hope for a proper look at the movie!
Currently, The Wrecking Crew is the most popular movie on Prime Video, according to FlixPatrol. It’s beating out other action movies like Playdate (No. 8), as well as two films starring Jason Statham, A Working Man (No. 3) and The Beekeeper (No. 10).
Good science fiction TV shows usually take a few episodes to fully immerse you in their world and make strange concepts feel familiar. The genre often requires you to learn complex backstory, accept unusual scientific rules, and believe in incredibly advanced technology that seems like it came from a wild imagination.
While Squid Game became a huge hit, its popularity unfortunately overshadowed other compelling thriller series. One example is Alice in Borderland. Although Squid Game is known for its intense moments, Alice in Borderland actually surpasses it in brutality with a single episode in its second season.
Set primarily in 1970s London, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy delves into the complex world of British intelligence during the Cold War.

Originally broadcast on ITV in the UK from October to December 2015, Jekyll and Hyde was cancelled after only one season in January 2016, leaving the story incomplete and ending on a cliffhanger.

I’ve always been a bit worried about fantasy shows – they often don’t get the chance they deserve, especially if they don’t become hits right away. When the movie The Golden Compass didn’t really take off, I thought a TV series would be a huge gamble. But I was so glad they went ahead with His Dark Materials! It ran for three seasons, and each one beautifully adapted a book from the series. It all built to an ending that was truly heartbreaking, but ultimately, incredibly satisfying. I was completely invested!
I’ve always loved fantasy, and even before everyone was talking about Westeros, there were authors writing incredibly powerful, gritty stories. They weren’t afraid to really delve into the darker sides of things – war, the abuse of power, the lasting effects of trauma, and how easily people can become corrupted. If you’re like me and you’re looking for something beyond the usual castles and frozen creatures, these ten epic dark fantasy series prove that Game of Thrones definitely wasn’t the end of the line for amazing fantasy. They’re just so much more imaginative and impactful!
