Let’s be honest, Netflix throws out a lot of content, but they’ve consistently tapped into what everyone’s talking about. They’re really good at walking the line between super-specific shows and those big, critically acclaimed dramas that sweep the awards. For this list, though, I’m only looking at series that have a complete, finished story. That means you won’t see anything still running, like Bridgerton or Beef – their stories aren’t fully told yet. And sadly, I had to leave out some fantastic shows that were cancelled too soon, like Mindhunter. It’s just not fair to judge a story that never got its proper ending.

What makes Arc Raiders stand out is its ability to buck the usual trend for online games. Even months after release, it continues to keep a surprisingly large number of players engaged, with Steam numbers remaining near their peak. This consistency is unusual for a game that combines player-versus-player and player-versus-environment gameplay. Arc Raiders hasn’t just faded away; it’s managed to stay popular in a competitive space where players often move on quickly. Its ongoing success isn’t due to a single viral event, but because the game consistently gives players a reason to come back.

Here is an overview of the new edition, via its store pages:

Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Pluribus, which became a surprise hit in late 2025 and was praised as one of the year’s best, might be returning for a second season sooner than fans expect. Rhea Seehorn, who plays Carol Sturka in the show, recently shared that creator Vince Gilligan is committed to avoiding a long wait between seasons. According to Discussing Film, Seehorn said Gilligan wants to deliver a high-quality show for fans as quickly as possible, and they’re aiming for a fast turnaround.

The new game, Orken, offers a realistic take on the classic Orcs versus Humans conflict, imagining it as a ‘Neanderthal Western.’ It combines a character-focused story similar to Mass Effect with challenging, strategic combat inspired by Dark Souls. The game’s visuals are bold and striking, taking cues from the style of Hi-Fi RUSH.

While a movie being popular with audiences doesn’t always lead to awards recognition, Disney and Pixar haven’t been as dominant in recent years as they once were. Other studios have improved and are now often more innovative. The fact that KPop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature Film at the 2026 Golden Globes highlights this shift—it’s been four years since a Disney or Pixar film last won that award, with their last win being for Encanto in 2022, as detailed below.

If you’re excited about a potential new NieR game, a livestream is scheduled for February 20th to celebrate the series’ 9th anniversary. While many are hoping for a sequel announcement, there are currently no plans to reveal one during the stream.

A major issue with Anthem was that it didn’t suit the BioWare teams who were used to making single-player games. BioWare had built its reputation on offline titles like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, Jade Empire, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. While Mass Effect 3 had a fun co-op mode, it wasn’t central to what the studio was known for.

Highguard is a strange situation – it’s unusual to see a game so close to launch remain largely under the radar. While its trailer at the Game Awards was intended to build excitement, it actually left many viewers confused and unimpressed. Most of what was shown felt uninspired and forgettable, drawing comparisons to the previously unsuccessful game, Concord – a worrying sign, according to online discussions.

Netflix is releasing the live-action series One Piece: Into the Grand Line in late March, and they’ve just dropped a new trailer! The trailer highlights the dangerous Baroque Works organization that Luffy and his crew will face this season. Fans get their first glimpse of David Dastmalchain (known from The Suicide Squad and Late Night With the Devil) as Mr. 3, and he looks intense! You can watch the trailer below.
