Love, Death + Robots is a particularly diverse anthology series, with each episode ranging from 6 to 21 minutes long. The show excels at quickly building immersive worlds, as each installment tells a complete, standalone story. With each new season, it continues to innovate and solidify its place as a top sci-fi offering on Netflix.
Marvel is currently finishing up work on Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The film is scheduled to hit US theaters later this year, and a follow-up movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is planned for release in 2027.
The latest episode centers around Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), a humble knight preparing for a Trial of Seven – a dangerous fight where he and six companions will battle seven opponents chosen by the cruel Aerion Targaryen (Finn Bennett), a member of the royal family. This conflict began when Dunk defended Tanselle (Tanzyn Crawford) from Aerion’s attack, which was sparked by her puppet show. Interestingly, the show includes a scene not present in the book where Dunk is surprised by offers of support from local villagers. He questions Steely Pate (Youssef Kerkour), a blacksmith, asking why they would help him. Pate replies simply: “A knight who remembered his vows.”
As a critic, I’ve seen this setup before – a lot. Ric Roman Waugh, who’s worked well with Gerard Butler in the past (except for ‘Angel Has Fallen’), delivers another action thriller starring Jason Statham. It’s a familiar story: a man trying to escape his past is forced back into the life he left behind. Honestly, it’s the plot of Statham’s last couple of films, but ‘Shelter’ does offer a small, intriguing difference that sets it apart.

With a third season of Silo and more episodes planned for its other shows, Apple TV is clearly dedicated to continuing these stories, solidifying its position as the leading streaming service for this type of content. Although it doesn’t currently have a classic, all-time great sci-fi series, a new show coming in 2026 looks poised to fill that role.
In a recent interview with TopMob, Bart Layton, the writer and director of Crime 101, explained how Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo’s established working relationship from their time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe influenced his new crime thriller.
