As of January 20th, the British series The Night Manager, based on John le Carré’s 1993 novel and created by David Farr, is the second most popular show on Prime Video in the U.S., according to FlixPatrol. Four episodes of Season 2 have already been released, with the fifth episode coming out on January 25th and the season finale on February 1st.
Prime Video reports that The Tank is now its most popular German-language original film ever. Within its first week, the war thriller topped the charts in 28 countries, including Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Everything shifted when Doctor Who came back in 2005. Over the years, the Doctor developed romantic relationships with several companions, including Rose, Martha, River Song, Yaz, and Rogue. The show explains this pattern by suggesting that more recent versions of the Doctor are more open to emotional connections. It wasn’t that older Doctors actively avoided companions they weren’t attracted to; it’s just that the newer Doctors are more emotionally available.
Even after thirty years, people are still eager for a revival of the show, and discussions continue online. However, complicated legal problems and ongoing disputes have prevented any new episodes from being made. There’s hope on the horizon, though – a potential return to the original source material of scary comic books that started it all.

Now I’m hoping we both get to go to the ceremony in March and that this will be a special moment for her.
