» If the phrase "keeps you guessing till the very end" is loosely used these days, it genuinely applies to the new crime-mystery limited series His & Hers, a show in which the stakes are high and its central characters have far too much to lose.

» In the working-class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI agent leads a task force determined to stop a string of violent robberies carried out by an unlikely family. That's the central premise of Task, a seven-episode limited series starring Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey. The show is emotional, gritty and tense -- one of the new crime dramas that may well be worth your binge time.

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience. That isn't to say the latest Prime Video mystery thriller is a bad series -- far from it -- but it struggles to stand out in a genre already saturated with stronger contenders. We've probably seen a dozen shows that handled similar material with more finesse and momentum.

» With the recent success of the acclaimed comedy-drama series The Four Seasons and Tom Hardy's blood-soaked thriller Havoc, it seems Netflix is finding its rhythm again when it comes to delivering compelling, emotionally resonant content. The latest entry, the heartwarming food and family drama Nonnas, takes audience to comfort-viewing territory -- stories that are less concerned with spectacle and more focused on the relationships that shape us.

Can Cross break the curse?
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 22/11/2024
» There seems to be a recurring curse when it comes to adapting James Patterson's best-selling Alex Cross novels for the screen. Those who grew up in the 90s may remember crime thrillers Kiss The Girls (1997) and Along Came A Spider (2001), starring Morgan Freeman as the titular forensic psychologist and detective. Despite box office successes, these films received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. The 2012 reboot, Alex Cross, starring Tyler Perry, fared even worse. Panned by critics and ultimately a box office bomb, it led to the cancellation of a planned sequel.

» First, we had Don't Breathe (2016) and A Quiet Place (2018), where silence is key, then Bird Box (2018), where seeing is danger. Hollywood's current fascination with sensory deprivation has a new addition: Don't Move, a thriller in which the protagonist faces a new kind of terror -- forced paralysis. In this film, the main character is injected with a paralytic agent by a killer, leaving her fighting to survive while her mobility fades.
