Since Steven Spielberg’s Jaws became a huge hit, many filmmakers have tried to create similar movies about sharks. More recently, films like the Sharknado series have pushed the boundaries of the genre with over-the-top action and have become popular for it. Now, Netflix is adding to this trend with its new shark-themed movie.
The actor is returning to television in Hulu’s new British period drama, Rivals. Set in the 1980s, this series is a scandalous and surprising adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s Rutshire Chronicles. He’ll play Tony Baddingham, a powerful TV executive and a member of the English upper class. This role is considered one of his most unexpected performances, and critics have praised the show, giving it a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
As a film buff, I’m always drawn to movies from the 1960s – they really were a golden age for Hollywood. It was a time of huge social change, with the counterculture movement really taking hold, and you can see that reflected on screen. Directors and writers were so much bolder, pushing creative limits in ways we hadn’t seen before. These films just connected with a generation trying to figure things out during a really turbulent decade. And for me, one moment that perfectly captures the spirit of the time is a line delivered by Dustin Hoffman in 1969 – it felt so defiant and really embodied the energy of New York City at the time.
Per Sullivan chose to continue his studies at Harvard instead of taking a lucrative offer to return to his famous role. He’s largely stayed out of acting and the public eye since Malcolm in the Middle ended, which didn’t surprise his former co-stars, Frankie Muniz and Bryan Cranston. Ultimately, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark’s portrayal of Dewey in Life’s Still Unfair showed that all the concern over recasting was unnecessary.
Next week, acclaimed director, artist, and creator of the EDGLRD collective, Harmony Korine, will launch his first major U.S. museum exhibition at the ICA Miami. The show will feature more than 50 of his works, covering everything from his early pieces to his most recent projects and showcasing the entirety of his career.
Netflix has a lot of great fantasy shows to get hooked on, like Arcane, Shadow & Bone, and Castlevania. It’s worth noting that Arcane and Castlevania are both based on popular video games and do a fantastic job of recreating those worlds. Devil May Cry clearly took inspiration from similar themes and styles.
After being off television for 20 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with a four-episode revival on Hulu. The show catches up with Malcolm as an adult, now a father and in a relationship. The revival, titled Life’s Still Unfair, starts with Malcolm trying to navigate introducing his girlfriend to his daughter, Leah.
Alan Ritchson’s series Reacher has become a huge hit, ranking among the most-watched shows of the last ten years. Prime Video is a go-to destination for crime thrillers, also offering popular shows like Jack Ryan, The Terminal List, Bosch, Cross, and Deadloch, among others. Beyond TV, Prime Video also boasts a strong selection of thrilling movies.
Netflix has a strong collection of funny crime shows, mixing witty humor with intriguing mysteries. The platform actually launched with a crime comedy – Lilyhammer (2012–2014) – and has continued to produce popular titles in the genre, including the two-season series A Man on the Inside (2024–), along with Sneaky Pete (2015–2019) and Dead to Me (2019–2022), which both ran for three seasons. But it’s their latest crime comedy that’s recently become a big hit with viewers.
