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

Death Comes Calling Again
Remember those Final Destination movies that made you terrified of roller coasters and tanning beds?
They’re back after 14 years with “Bloodlines,” and holy crap, it’s worth the wait!

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.

Each episode feels like a fever dream you never want to wake from.
