» The American psychological thriller You returns for a fifth and final season on Netflix, bringing our charming stalker/serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) back to New York City. Joe appears to be settling into his version of a happily ever after -- married, powerful and rich -- but, of course, things aren't that simple. His picture-perfect life is threatened by ghosts from his past and the ever-lurking shadows of his twisted compulsions. And just a heads-up: we're diving into full spoilers here. So, if you haven't watched this season -- or the entire series -- you might want to come back later.

» Lenin Tamayo, a name that evokes revolutionary history, is bringing his own musical revolution to the world stage. Born in Lima, Peru, and named after Vladimir Lenin, the leader of the Russian Revolution, Tamayo has embarked on a journey to redefine Peruvian music. His mission is bold -- to blend Quechua, the language of the Incas, with the global phenomenon of K-pop, creating a new genre he calls Quechua Pop, or Q-pop. He began his journey in 2019 and has been very successful, having been featured in Rolling Stone's "19 Latin Artists We're Rooting For In 2024".

» It's hard to believe that Black Mirror is 12 years old. Since the day the show began, the franchise, despite not being perfect, has been held in high regard by many fans and critics and labelled one of the most original concepts when it comes to mystery, science fiction and even horror.

» Within the first few minutes of Netflix's latest crime thriller Windfall, you realise this is another retro-inspired movie. The style, the colour palette, the music, and even how the title and credits play throughout the opening sequence are reminiscent of mystery thrillers that would fit well with the 40s and 50s. Some of the setups even remind you of an old-school Hitchcockian thriller.

» Gender inequality, sexual abuse and societal attitudes towards women are common issues in Southeast Asia, yet not many dare to bring such a topic into a story especially those from conservative countries. So to see Indonesian filmmaker Wregas Bhanuteja explore and highlight this in his directorial debut, Photocopier is absolutely a bold move and quite admirable. Although without much information on the film and whether this is based on a real event or not, Photocopier is a gritty, riveting dramatic crime mystery that feels realistic and honest.

And if you've been following this show from the beginning, let me tell you that Season 3 is You's most twisted and exciting yet.
