Hulu’s The Testaments is the continuation of one of prestige television’s most politically charged franchises, built by Bruce Miller, who left The Handmaid’s Tale specifically to develop it. The show returns to Gilead, but where its predecessor put audiences inside a system designed to break women, The Testaments follows two teenage girls being shaped by that system and starting to push […]

Netflix just dropped Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, a horror miniseries from creator Haley Z. Boston and executive producers the Duffer Brothers. A bride named Rachel spends the week before her wedding increasingly certain that marrying the wrong man will kill her. Critics have landed it somewhere between The Haunting of Hill House and Rosemary’s Baby. Boston […]

CBS’s Marshals and Paramount+’s The Madison arrive weeks apart and make the same argument from opposite ends. A son joining the institution his family always had to account for, never answer to. A mother trying to rebuild a family on ground she didn’t choose. Both shows are set in Sheridan’s Montana. Neither one is really about it. What […]

HBO just dropped DTF St. Louis, a seven-part dark comedy about two best friends who sign up for a married couples’ infidelity app, and one of them ends up dead. The investigation that follows pulls secrets out of a St. Louis suburb one swipe at a time. It drew 2.5 million viewers in its first three […]

Warner Bros. dropped the first teaser for Dune: Part Three last week to 33.3 million views in six days. That number deserves context. Part Two‘s official trailer sits at 30.7 million views after three years. Part Three‘s teaser passed it in under a week, and it did so by opening with silence, stillness, and sustained dread. The franchise isn’t […]

FX just dropped Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, now the network’s most-watched limited series on Hulu and Disney+ with 25 million hours viewed. Ryan Murphy has always known how to find the moment a famous life became a cautionary tale and build backward from there. Carolyn Bessette didn’t just marry John Kennedy. […]

Greta’s wake had everything except Greta. That’s the premise of How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, and it’s also the problem. Lisa McGee’s first major project since Derry Girls concluded in 2022 carries forward what made that show work: the same creative team, the same Irish wit, the same instinct to find dark comedy in impossible […]

Only the creators of 30 Rock could watch a man detonate his NFL career on live television and think: that’s a comedy. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins carries the creative DNA of Robert Carlock, Sam Means, and Tina Fey, a team that has always understood how institutions seduce, discard, and look absurd once you’re standing outside them. […]

Peacock’s reimagining of the 1989 Joe Dante classic debuted as one of the most-watched streaming originals of the week. The ‘Burbs introduced nosy neighbors, a creepy Victorian house, and a town that calls itself the safest place in America. But the show doesn’t coast on a familiar premise. It uses a recognizable suburban paranoia concept loaded […]

George R.R. Martin’s newest Game of Thrones prequel launched as one of HBO Max’s top three series debuts, attracting 6.7 million viewers in three days. By trading dragon-sized spectacle for practical swordplay, horseback stunts, and character-driven storytelling, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms delivered one of the biggest HBO Max debuts, proving the franchise’s audience craved heroes as […]
