The best thrillers build tension gradually, keeping you on the edge of your seat until the final reveal. Thankfully, Netflix offers a wide variety of these captivating shows. Whether you prefer crime dramas focused on solving cases or mind-bending mysteries that play with time and reality, Netflix consistently delivers impactful series in the thriller genre.
Three years after its release, one gadget from Pattinson’s Batman – still early in his crime-fighting career – deserves much more recognition. While he hadn’t yet acquired iconic tools like batarangs, this particular device was really impressive.
Rohan Campbell delivers a compelling performance as Billy Chapman, a man deeply scarred by a traumatic childhood. He witnessed the murder of his parents by a man dressed as Santa Claus, and his difficult upbringing with a harsh foster mother further damaged his mental state. The film explores how children can be affected by the actions of others, playfully referencing the common saying about repeating parental mistakes. Billy’s foster mother’s strict discipline, combined with the lingering trauma of the childhood event, fuels a dangerous inner voice that guides him toward violence. He begins to channel the murderous rage of the Santa Claus who killed his parents. A potential turning point arrives when Billy meets Pam (Ruby Modine) and gets a job at her father’s Christmas decoration store. However, any hope for a normal life is threatened as the violent voice in his head grows stronger, leading to a terrifying series of killings as Billy, wearing a Santa suit, counts down to Christmas.
Despite many memorable lines, one quote stands out as the best in Western film history, perfectly capturing the essence of the genre.

Fans have been eager for updates on Across the Spider-Verse 2, and now there’s some good news. Daniel Kaluuya, known for his role in Get Out, recently shared with Deadline that the first draft of the script is nearly complete.
I was absolutely floored when I heard the news about Netflix potentially taking over Warner Bros. Discovery! It’s hard to believe they could end up owning everything – HBO Max and the Warner Bros. movie studio! There’s still a lot that needs to happen with approvals to make sure it’s not a monopoly, but honestly, it feels like this could be a devastating blow to movie theaters. I don’t think Netflix buying such a huge, historic studio will completely kill the theater experience, but it’s definitely going to make things much, much harder for an industry that was already struggling.
New episodes of Fire Country Season 4 are available to stream on Paramount+ after initially airing on CBS. The season’s trailer generated a lot of buzz, and Fire Country returned for its fourth season at the same time as the premiere of other shows.
Several shows with very similar themes came out around the same time, and they all competed for viewers. However, we’re only considering shows released on specific dates, not streaming releases, because those can be watched at any time. That means shows like Candy and Love & Death, and Upload and The Good Place, aren’t included in this comparison.
Though Godless is praised for strong performances, especially Jeff Daniels’ first foray into Westerns, what really connects it to 1883 is the way both shows depict resilient and independent women in a traditionally male world. Godless and 1883 have a lot in common with Netflix’s The Abandons as well, making all three shows appealing to fans of Taylor Sheridan’s work.
Even though One Piece has a lot of content – over 1,100 chapters and episodes – fans agree it’s worth the time to get into. The series isn’t perfect, but its flaws aren’t serious enough to dismiss it. Ultimately, if someone doesn’t enjoy One Piece, that’s more a matter of personal preference than a problem with the anime itself.
