The second season of Broadchurch focused on the trial of Danny Latimer’s killer, while also exploring Detective Hardy’s past. We met Claire and Lee, characters connected to a previous case Hardy worked on – and mishandled – in Sandbrook. Hardy had put Claire in witness protection to keep her safe from Lee, who was the prime suspect in that earlier investigation. Reliving the details of this old case allowed David Tennant to give a particularly powerful performance.

The series Landman, which premiered in 2024, quickly gained notoriety online due to a character named Ainsley Norris (played by Michelle Randolph). A scene featuring Tommy Norris’ (Billy Bob Thornton) attractive teenage daughter discussing sex with her father, written and directed by Taylor Sheridan, went viral on platforms like Instagram, X, and TikTok, becoming the show’s first widely shared meme.

Logan Marshall-Green, star of the Yellowstone spin-off Marshal, recently discussed his return for a second season. He said filming feels like a seamless continuation of the first season, maintaining the same high quality and fast-paced energy. According to Marshall-Green, production is gaining momentum, not winding down.

It’s been over ten years since Bloodborne came out, and we still haven’t gotten any official word about a remaster. So, fans like me are taking things into our own hands! People have already made unofficial PC ports, and now someone’s showing us what a Bloodborne Remastered could look like if FromSoftware ever released one in 2026. It’s pretty cool to see what the game could be!

Tom Holland has recently portrayed Spider-Man in live-action films, and his adventures are connected to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, Nicolas Cage will also get to play the character in a live-action role, starring in the Prime Video series, Spider-Noir.

The new Netflix series, Nemesis, is quickly gaining praise, currently holding a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and delivers all the elements of a compelling crime thriller. While it shares similarities with Michael Mann’s classic Heat, it’s far from a copy. With powerful acting, thrilling action sequences, and a captivating story that blends a heist with a complex marriage, Nemesis feels like a worthy successor to the 1995 film and is essential viewing for fans.

Like It: Welcome to Derry, the show Revival is based on existing material. While It: Welcome to Derry draws from Stephen King’s It, Revival adapts the comic book series of the same name by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. However, Revival wasn’t as popular or commercially successful as It: Welcome to Derry.

If you’re familiar with Korean dramas, or K-dramas, you’ve probably heard of Crash Landing on You. Released in 2019, this romantic comedy is often considered one of the best Korean shows ever made. However, it’s also known for being quite controversial because of its direct portrayal of the tense relationship between North and South Korea. While other series, like Snowdrop and Descendants of the Sun, have explored this complex history with varying degrees of success, Crash Landing on You stands out – it even filmed scenes inside North Korea.

Prime Video has a strong collection of crime thrillers, and three shows – Jack Ryan, Bosch, and Reacher – are currently the most popular. These series are all based on well-known books and are continuing as successful franchises, constantly evolving their stories. But while these three remain dominant, another show called Cross is quickly gaining recognition within the genre.

The popularity of Reacher has shown streaming services that long-running action series are a great way to attract viewers. This has created some interesting competition between action shows, like the rivalry with Netflix’s The Night Agent. Amazon Prime currently has the most compelling matchup of this type, featuring both Reacher and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, which is also based on a well-known book character. Although Jack Ryan seemed poised to become more popular than Reacher, the incredibly high Rotten Tomatoes score for the latest installment, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, suggests that’s unlikely to happen.
