Although Wagner Moura has had a successful career since leaving Narcos in 2016, he hasn’t found another television role that’s had the same impact. He’s mostly appeared in films like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Civil War, with only smaller parts in TV shows such as Shining Girls and Dope Thief. Despite his talent, none of his postNarcos* roles have quite matched the success of that series.
David Friedlander, who used to work at Netflix, became the head of the TV division in October and immediately began making changes. He shifted the studio’s organization from being based on whether a show was fully owned or a co-production to teams focused on specific genres like drama, comedy, fantasy/sci-fi, animation, and reality TV. This change began in January. Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Friedlander has asked the writers of the Mass Effect show to rework their scripts to appeal to a broader audience beyond video game fans.
Glen Powell has quickly become a major name in Hollywood. He started with memorable supporting roles in films like Hidden Figures and Top Gun: Maverick, and has now established himself as a leading man, starring in movies such as Hit Man and The Running Man. Plus, with notable TV appearances in Scream Queens and Chad Powers, Powell’s popularity continues to grow.
Most major streaming services are focusing on specific types of shows, and Prime Video has become a go-to destination for exciting action-packed crime thrillers thanks to the huge popularity of its series Reacher. With a 96% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Reacher is a tough act to follow, but several new shows are aiming to replicate its success.
The movie Jaws famously scared many people into fearing the ocean, playing on our natural anxieties about what might be hidden beneath the waves. While often considered the greatest horror film ever made, director Steven Spielberg recently stated he doesn’t believe he’s ever actually made a horror movie. This comment suggests he doesn’t see Jaws as belonging to that genre. He shared his thoughts in an interview with Empire Magazine.
Shows like The Twilight Zone and Buffy the Vampire Slayer really shaped the horror genre on television, and more recently, The Haunting of Hill House took it to another level. However, many other excellent horror shows haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve, often because they were lost in the shadow of bigger hits, suffered from poor marketing, or were simply scheduled at the wrong time. These overlooked gems deserve a second look.

As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was thrilled to watch HBO’s Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic, and it gave me a real sense of just how much love and detail is going into this new series. Apparently, the creative team has been digging deep into the world J.K. Rowling created, and everything – from what the characters wear to the incredibly detailed sets – is packed with little Easter eggs for us Potterheads. Like we suspected from the first trailer, the magic feels very connected to nature, so plants, trees, and all sorts of natural elements play a big role in the potions and spells. And get this – we’re going to see creatures in this series that we’ve never seen in any of the previous Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts movies – including one that sounds seriously creepy!
The Eureka Seven Metal Build Nirvash Type Zero RS Action Figure is a highly detailed, poseable collectible from Bandai. This figure faithfully recreates the iconic LFO from the anime, and its design was even overseen by a key artist who worked on the original series. It’s ready for action and can transform, making it a must-have for fans.
