Initially, The Night Agent found its niche as a simple, enjoyable Netflix thriller – and that was enough. While it hasn’t yet reached the heights of truly great TV shows, it’s definitely getting better. The first season was solid, the second dipped a little, but the third season is the strongest one so far.
The show smartly left out parts of the original novels that had become clichés in fantasy stories, creating a series that honored the books’ core themes while still feeling new and exciting. Unfortunately, not all fantasy adaptations manage to strike this balance.
Released in 1997, Face/Off is a sci-fi action thriller from Paramount Pictures. The film, directed by John Woo, features John Travolta and Nicolas Cage in leading roles as Sean Archer and Castor Troy, respectively.
Even though Spider-Man continued to protect New York City, Peter Parker felt completely alone. He had cut ties with everyone – his friends, family, and even the Avengers didn’t know the person behind the mask, giving him a chance to rebuild his life. This isolation caused painful moments, like when MJ didn’t recognize him. However, it also allowed Peter to fully be himself, free from outside expectations and connections.
I was so excited when I saw that a new Power Rangers series was announced! A fellow fan, @Deoxys360, was the first to point it out on X. It looks like BOOM! Studios is publishing a new book, and it’s going to be amazing – Marguerite Bennett, Andrew Lee Griffith, and Phillip Sevy are all working on it together, according to Penguin Random House’s website.
Mike Colter became known for playing Luke Cage, a super-strong, nearly invulnerable hero, in several Marvel series on Netflix.

The movie Fall, released in 2022, earned $2.5 million during its opening weekend. Although it started in 10th place, it eventually made $21 million worldwide, which was a significant return on its $3 million budget.

Sources at World of Reel report that the disappointing box office performance of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple has caused Sony to slow down development on the third film, which was intended to give Cillian Murphy a larger role. While the project hasn’t been cancelled, the studio isn’t prioritizing it, so fans might have to wait a considerable amount of time for it to be made. World of Reel also notes that Netflix is interested in acquiring the next 28 Years Later movie, but director Danny Boyle is committed to a theatrical release.
Season 3 of House of the Dragon brings the conflict known as the Dance with Dragons back to Westeros. The show takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones and about a century before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Now, full-scale war has begun, and as author George R.R. Martin famously said, “If you dance with dragons, you must expect to burn.”
Okay, so I was really excited about this French thriller, The Hunt (originally Traqués), coming to Apple TV+. But there was a bit of a snag. Apparently, the production company, Gaumont, discovered the storyline was pretty similar to a 1973 novel called Shoot by Douglas Fairbairn, and they had to investigate. Thankfully, they’ve sorted everything out, and it looks like The Hunt is finally going to premiere on the streaming service – which is great news for those of us who love a good, suspenseful drama!
