The new film Hit Man is quickly becoming popular on HBO Max, currently ranking as the fourth most-watched movie worldwide. It’s behind Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly-rated One Battle After Another at number one, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon in second, and the horror film Clown in a Cornfield in third.

In the rural areas, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), who appeared in ’28 Years Later’, resides in a place called The Bone Temple – a structure filled with the skulls of the infected, where he’s managed to stay safe. He isn’t the only familiar face; Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), the large, infected, and naked leader of wandering groups, also returns. Kelson, covered in iodine, is using his medical expertise to try to control the infected’s violent cannibalism, and he’s starting to see glimmers of Samson’s former self. Kelson’s research might hold the key to a cure, while Sir Jimmy’s actions threaten to further reduce the already dwindling human population.

People often enjoy a bit of gossip as a way to distract themselves from their own problems, so when Ashley Tisdale shared her experiences in an article for The Cut about feeling excluded from a difficult group of mom friends, it quickly grabbed everyone’s attention.
