It seems the movie Animal Farm isn’t impressing critics. Ahead of its May 1st release, early reviews have been harsh, giving it a low 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 22 reviews.
As of April 28, 2026, the TV series Scarpetta has climbed to number 4 on Prime Video’s global list of most-watched shows, according to data from FlixPatrol. This indicates consistent viewer interest in the series. Globally, the show averages a ranking of 5.5, and is currently the #3 most popular show in the United States. Scarpetta, based on the novels by Patricia Cornwell, stars Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist who solves crimes using her expertise.
Netflix and author Harlan Coben are teaming up again for a new limited series. According to Tudum, they’ll be adapting Coben’s 2007 novel, The Woods, into an eight-episode show. Tom Bateman, known for his role in Based on a True Story, will play the main character.
While The Haunting of Hill House is considered one of Netflix’s top shows, it’s just one example of Mike Flanagan’s excellent work. His original series, Midnight Mass, received a lot of positive attention, and his more recent show, The Fall of the House of Usher – which draws heavily from the stories of Edgar Allan Poe – was also generally praised.
However, the show truly shines when delving into the lives of its supporting characters – it quickly surpassed The Last of Us in this regard, achieving this in just one episode of its second season. At its heart, Paradise is a captivating political thriller set within a dystopian world facing a catastrophic event. Currently, the series boasts an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Season 2 earning an even more impressive 90%. A major contributor to this success is a new character introduced in the first episode, which received a perfect 100% score.
Bones is different from many other crime shows. It’s willing to try daring and unusual storylines, both in the characters’ personal lives and in the cases they investigate. While these attempts aren’t always successful, they often lead to unexpected outcomes.
Netflix’s Business Proposal is easily one of their most popular romantic K-dramas. What made it stand out was its fun, workplace setting and clever use of typical romance tropes. While it didn’t reach the massive popularity of Squid Game, it’s still considered one of the best K-drama romances of recent years. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha was another big hit, successfully playing with the classic opposites-attract story by contrasting a small-town setting with a character from Seoul. Sold Out on You feels like a great blend of what made both of those shows so enjoyable.
The latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 saw the loss of a promising new character within the MCU’s Multiverse Saga. Although the Multiverse Saga hasn’t been perfect, it’s brought a lot of fresh faces into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both in movies and on television.
I’m really excited about this new Netflix show! It’s based on a classic book, Man on Fire, which some of you might remember from the amazing 2004 movie with Denzel Washington. He played John Creasy, a tough ex-CIA guy who becomes a bodyguard and then goes after those who hurt the person he’s protecting. This time around, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is taking on the role, and I think he’ll do a fantastic job bringing this story to life again. It’s a seven-episode series, so they’ll have plenty of time to really explore the story.
Looking back at the series now, many fans might realize their initial criticisms weren’t completely accurate. The later seasons aren’t as flawed as people remember, and despite some storylines differing from the show’s original style, Seasons 5 through 8 remain truly enjoyable.
