Steam has just added five new free-to-play games to its library! These games cover a variety of genres, including action strategy, and single-player survival experiences (according to X and Steam). Best of all, you can download and play them forever without needing a subscription.

Although Netflix has many excellent thrillers, Bodyguard from 2018 is a standout. It was hugely popular, particularly in the UK when it originally aired, but it’s easy to have missed. Fortunately, with just six one-hour episodes, it’s a perfect show to watch all at once on Netflix.

The Sonic movies have kept audiences engaged by continually expanding the action and bringing in well-known actors. With Sonic the Hedgehog 3, they introduced Shadow and cast Keanu Reeves to voice him, following Idris Elba’s appearance as Knuckles in the previous film. This naturally led to a lot of interest in who would play Amy Rose in Sonic 4, especially after her brief appearance at the end of Sonic 3.

Even after the trailer for The Immortal Man was released, details about Ferguson’s character in Peaky Blinders are still unclear, and that seems intentional. She plays a Romani fortune teller who knows a lot about Tommy Shelby’s history and also has a connection to his son, Duke.

Each season has hinted at epic battles, but those glimpses only left fans wanting more. The season 2 finale promised a huge conflict, which was exciting but also a bit unsatisfying. Now, it looks like we’re finally going to see those battles play out, including what’s shaping up to be one of the most brutal in the entire A Song of Ice and Fire story.

Praised by critics (with an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and beloved by viewers, Narcos feels more like a compelling film than a typical TV series. George Clooney’s comparison to The Godfather is fitting – the show boasts intricate storylines, characters with complex motivations, and a consistently building sense of suspense. Narcos expertly blends a focused, dramatic approach with real-life events, proving that television can be a truly sophisticated and impactful art form.

I just finished watching “56 Days,” and it’s completely gripping! It tells the story of Oliver and Ciara, who meet unexpectedly at a grocery store and quickly fall for each other. But after 56 days, things take a dark turn when the police find a body at Oliver’s place. The show jumps between their blossoming romance and the murder investigation, which makes it super suspenseful. You really see how their relationship unfolds alongside the mystery.

The latest sneak peek introduces Lilypad, a smart tablet shaped like a frog and voiced by Greta Lee (known from “TRON: Ares”). Lilypad complicates things for Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the toys as they face a brand new challenge to playtime.

Then God made television, and God saw that it was good.
