Natasha Lyonne fans, rejoice! After an agonizing two-year wait, our favorite human lie detector is back on screen.

Pam Grier kicks serious butt in both “Coffy” and “Sheba, Baby,” while Fred Williamson rules in “Black Caesar.”

Murderbot Will Steal Your Heart
Don’t let the slow start fool you—this Apple TV+ gem builds to something special.
Alexander Skarsgård absolutely nails it as a security unit (SecUnit) who’d rather watch soap operas than deal with humans.
