I was really surprised to see this, but Rental Family is currently the most popular movie on Hulu in the US, according to Flix Patrol! It’s beating out some pretty big titles – even Predator: Badlands, Django Unchained, and Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy. And it’s not just a US thing – it’s doing incredibly well in Canada too, landing at number two on Disney+’s movie charts there. It’s a real standout moment for the film!
Most spy shows don’t quite reach the level of true greatness. While 24 had a promising start, it eventually became predictable and overly dramatic. Slow Horses was nearly perfect, but its quality dipped with a more comedic fifth season. The Americans, however, stands out as a genuinely exceptional spy thriller, consistently excellent throughout its entire run.

With Valentine’s Day over, let’s ditch the romantic comedies! This weekend, I’m looking at a spy thriller, a classic action-comedy series, and – alright, one more romance – as the best picks for what to stream on Prime Video.
Once more, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy had strong competition from major streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Other popular original shows in the top 10 included 11.22.63, a Stephen King adaptation from a decade ago that recently saw a surge in popularity on the platform.
The Monsterverse series, which began in 2023, centers around the Monarch organization and their encounters with Godzilla and other massive creatures over a 50-year period. Apple TV has also commissioned a spin-off series set during the Cold War, premiering in 2025, featuring Wyatt Russell as a younger version of Lee Shaw. Kurt Russell, Wyatt’s father, will play the older Lee Shaw in the show.
I’m keeping an eye on “Paradise Lost,” one of the many DC Universe shows in the works. It was first announced way back in January 2023, but honestly, we haven’t heard much about it since. As of right now, there’s no word on when we can actually expect to see it air.
Since returning in season 2 of The Pitt, Langdon has consistently been genuine and easy to get along with. He’s handled everything Robby has challenged him with, and has been openly honest with his patients about what’s going on.
