For over a century, the clever brain and memorable charisma of Sherlock Holmes have been enchanting movie-goers, whether it be the gloomy Victorian era or the stylish, contemporary adaptations of the famous detective. In the movies, he has been reinvented as different personalities, with varied speech, and even as another animal. Still, it is difficult to decide from so many versions which is really the best one. Below are the top 10 Sherlock Holmes movies and series – the most loved ones by the audience, the critics, and the extremely selective Tomatometer.

10. Enola Holmes 2 (2022)

Sherlock may be the household name, but in Enola Holmes 2, it’s his little sister Enola who commands the spotlight. Millie Bobby Brown brings fire and wit to the role, proving there’s room in the Holmes universe for more than one brilliant mind. Henry Cavill gives a grounded performance as Sherlock, but it’s Enola’s fresh take on detective work that shines. As Rotten Tomatoes put it, this sequel nails it—clever, fun, and delightfully unpredictable.

9. Mr. Holmes (2015)

What happens when the sharpest mind in the world begins to forget? Ian McKellen gives a moving and contemplative performance as an older Holmes with memory loss and unresolved mysteries. It’s not so much about cracking crimes as it is about accepting time, regret, and identity. A quiet, introspective movie that presents a more human side of Sherlock has never really been explored.

8. Elementary (2012–2019)

Ditch foggy London—this Holmes relocates to New York. In Elementary, Jonny Lee Miller reimagines Sherlock as a recovering genius with demons, and Lucy Liu carves out new territory in Joan Watson. Their chemistry is dense and deep, mixing crime-solving with actual emotional complexity. With nearly perfect critics’ approval, this show deserves its place by taking huge risks that pay huge dividends.

7. Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Guy Ritchie’s stylish retread made Holmes an action hero in his own right. Robert Downey Jr. stars as a tough, unhinged Holmes, while Jude Law supplies cool aplomb as Watson. With high-octane action and quick-witted banter, this movie revitalized the character for a whole new generation. It’s not your granddaddy’s Sherlock—but that’s kind of the idea.

6. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)

Basil of Baker Street is small, but his detective abilities are gargantuan. This Disney treasure substitutes mice for humans in a delightfully clever reworking of the Holmes tradition. It’s fun, suspenseful, and brimming with emotion—an overlooked installment that gets the spirit of Sherlock in a surprisingly accurate manner.

5. The Woman in Green (1945)

Basil Rathbone became the Holmes for many generations, and The Woman in Green stands tall in his extended stint. With a flawless Rotten Tomatoes rating, this movie sees Holmes investigating a string of horrific killings with Moriarty in the background. It’s an old-school classic, suspenseful, and cool without an effort—must-watch for those who love vintage whodunits.

4. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Downey Jr./Law bromance reappears in this sequel, which raises the ante with an international showdown against Moriarty. Though it doesn’t quite top the original, the energy and chemistry are undeniable. It’s Holmes in all-out blockbuster mode—smart, zany, and fun as the devil.

3. Sherlock (2010–2017)

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman re-introduced Holmes to the 21st century with a cool, angular reworking that caused a worldwide sensation. The BBC drama is full of contemporary spin, stunning imagery, and emotionally charged narrative. Intelligent, fashionable, and quite profound, Sherlock is one of the most influential adaptations ever created.

2. A Study in Scarlet (1933)

One of the very first sound-era reinterpretations, A Study in Scarlet boasts Reginald Owen as Holmes in a performance that would influence decades to come. It’s a black-and-white relic with unexpectedly contemporary sensibilities, and it serves to demonstrate that Holmes was cinematic gold even during his era.

1. Sherlock Holmes (1922)

John Barrymore’s silent performance might not have words, but it has plenty to say. It was this film that established Holmes as a Hollywood icon and the template for all subsequent versions. Flashy as some of the modern adaptations become, it is a seminal work of Holmesiana, and its influence cannot be denied.

From silent movies to streaming sensations, Sherlock Holmes just keeps getting smarter—and fans keep coming back. Whether he’s cracking cases with a pipe in his mouth or texting witnesses on an iPhone, Holmes is a timeless icon of intelligence and wonder. With every new generation comes a new spin on the myth. So no matter if you like your detective old-school, offbeat, or cartoonized, the game is always afoot.

Superhero movies are, in most cases, a huge success and can even break box office records that are comparable to the height of the superhero characters they present. However, for every superhero franchise that saves the day and the cinema world, there is a failure lying somewhere. In fact, these movies are capable of achieving great heights; however, when they fall, their impact is quite big. We are now presenting an enumeration of the greatest and most famous failures of superhero movies that have crashed the box office, which goes backward. Hold on to your seats, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

10. Suicide Squad (2016)

This was a project that had everything: a brilliant cast, great visuals, and the DC universe’s best villains. Yet, instead of the stylish chaos we were promised, we got a cumbersome wreck. It was criticized for being confusing, poorly written, and unevenly directed. As eye-catching as Harley’s attire but half as fun, this one was more like a punishment for the community than filmgoing.

9. Green Lantern (2011)

Before Ryan Reynolds shattered the fourth wall as Deadpool, he slipped on a glowing green suit and wished the best. Spoiler: Not so much. Submerged in CGI and devoid of soul, Green Lantern did manage to squander both its budget and its source material. A cosmic disappointment that even Reynolds regularly mocks himself for.

8. Batman & Robin (1997)

Ah, the bat-nipples one. Joel Schumacher’s neon-lit interpretation of the Dark Knight is infamous—for the wrong reasons. Ice jokes, silly gadgets, and an utterly over-the-top Mr. Freeze made fans wonder what was going on. Campy to the very end, this installment is more guilty fun than an actual Batman movie.

7. Jonah Hex (2010)

A vengeful cowboy with a malfunctioning face and a grudge—what could go wrong? Everything. Even with Josh Brolin’s dedication, this western-superhero mashup didn’t have a focus, flair, or any sort of coherent narrative. A forgettable ride of comic book limbo.

6. Fantastic Four (2015)

The reboot nobody wanted… and somehow even worse than expected. Despite the solid cast, Fantastic Four turned Marvel’s beloved team into a gloomy, joyless slog. Gone was the fun and family dynamic; in its place, a slow-moving origin story that forgot to be fantastic.

5. Catwoman (2004)

Halle Berry in a leather catsuit couldn’t rescue this disaster. Loosely connected (at best) to the DC character, Catwoman deviated so far from the source material that it seemed to be an off-brand franchise unto itself. Critics referred to it as laughable—and not in a good way. It’s iconic, but only in a cautionary sense.

4. Son of the Mask (2005)

Keep the zany personality of Jim Carrey’s original The Mask, take away Jim Carrey, and turn the mayhem up to 11. What you have is a sequel no one wanted, with annoying humor and cartoon excess. One critic termed it “painfully unfunny,” and that says it all.

3. Madame Web (2024)

Part of Sony’s continued bid to turn straw into gold with Spider-Man supporting characters, Madame Web strove for intrigue but fell into the category of mediocre. Reviews labeled it as predictable and disappointing, though it had a promising lead. It attempted to branch out the Spider-Verse but ended up getting itself entangled in its web.

2. Zoom (2006)

Picture The Incredibles, but without the humor, the heart, or the energy. That’s Zoom, which is a Tim Allen family movie that fails in every department. Bland jokes, lackluster action, and complete charmlessness make it more super-boring than superhero.

1. Max Steel (2016)

At the top—or bottom—of the pile sits Max Steel, a movie that somehow turns an action-packed toy line into one of the dullest superhero films ever made. With no compelling characters, story, or even decent action scenes, it’s a crash course in how not to make a franchise. A 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes says it all.

The superhero franchise has brought us some of the cinema’s finest moments—but such movies are reminders that capes, powers, and budgets cannot always ensure success. Yet even at failure, they’ve left an indelible mark (or scar) on fans across the world. And who knows? Perhaps someday, even Max Steel will have its cult following. (Okay, probably not.)

America’s obsession with the Civil War never wavers. For over a century, Hollywood has been captivated by war, revisiting its battlefields, plantations, and divided families time and time again. Some movies sentimentalize it, others deconstruct it, but nearly all of them frame the way that we think about that volatile period in history. The Civil War on film isn’t all about muskets and uniforms—it’s about memory, myth, and the uncomfortable realities we can’t avoid. Here’s a countdown of 10 of the most iconic Civil War movies, along with their legacies (and controversies) left behind.

10. Lincoln (2012)

Spielberg’s Lincoln substitutes cannonballs with political maneuvering. Daniel Day-Lewis fully inhabits the 16th president, struggling tooth and nail to get the 13th Amendment passed before the war is lost. It’s a film about words, negotiation, and compromise, not battle—and it’s gripping. Day-Lewis took home an Oscar, and the film demonstrated you can craft a Civil War drama without one solitary charge across the warfield.

9. Gods and Generals (2003)

At close to four hours, Gods and Generals is not a movie for the viewer of convenience. As a Gettysburg prequel, it focuses on the rise and fall of Stonewall Jackson. Stephen Lang delivers a compelling performance, and the film is fanatically concerned with historical detail. Critics were ambivalent, but history enthusiasts tend to appreciate its accuracy and sincerity.

8. Cold Mountain (2003)

Instead of a grand strategy, Cold Mountain is a movie about everyday lives shattered by the war. It tells the story of a Confederate deserter’s perilous, long journey back to his love and the hardships of the woman who waits for him. Focusing on the rural poor in the South, it creates a closer, less often seen picture of how the war affected people removed from the battlefields.

7. Gettysburg (1993)

More than four hours long, Gettysburg is a marathon—albeit a gratifying one. Based on Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels, it painstakingly re-creates the war’s most brutal fight. From the uniforms to the strategy to the sideburns, no detail goes unattended. Jeff Daniels, Martin Sheen, and Tom Berenger head an enormous cast, and the film’s gravity as a favorite among Civil War buffs. 

6. Glory (1989)

Few war movies contain as much heart as Glory. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Matthew Broderick recount the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the first all-Black Union regiment. It’s unflinching in its portrayal of racism against these men, yet it also gives great respect to their heroism and sacrifice. Washington was awarded an Oscar for his scorching performance, and the film is still one of the strongest depictions of Black soldiers on film.

5. The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

Clint Eastwood’s tough Western enters guerrilla combat in the frontier zones. When Union troops kill his family, Josey Wales turns outlaw with a vendetta. It’s bloody, unsentimental, and morally ambiguous—a world away from neatly drawn battle lines and chivalrous generals. The movie illustrates how Westerns tended to redefine the Civil War in terms of individual frontiersmen, not armies.

4. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966)

It may be remembered as a spaghetti Western, but Sergio Leone’s classic is also a winking critique of the Civil War’s senselessness and brutality. The war is more than background—it determines the destiny of the three antiheroes as they track buried treasure. With its unblinking depiction of agony and corruption, the film will not make either side innocent.

3. The Horse Soldiers (1959)

John Wayne stars in this rousing, traditional war adventure loosely based on Grierson’s Raid. Less interested in reality and more in entertainment, it serves up romance, action, and patriotic swagger. It is thin on realism, but it represents the mid-20th-century desire for Civil War material that combines heroics with Hollywood spectacle.

2. The Red Badge of Courage (1951)

This retelling of Stephen Crane’s novel is one of mind games, of what occurs inside the head of a scared soldier. It’s the story of a Union young recruit who runs from battle, then grapples with shame and the need to redeem himself. It’s a thinking person’s film—a more psychological examination than an action flick—making it one of the most original interpretations of the Civil War.

1. Gone with the Wind (1939)

It’s most celebrated Civil War film of all time is also its most controversial. Gone with the Wind is dazzling in its romance, grand cinematography, and legendary performances, but impossible to dismiss are its nostalgia for the Old South and racist caricatures. Unquestionable is its impact on American cinema, but so too is its contribution to disseminating pernicious myths about slavery and the Confederacy.

The Civil War on film isn’t only about the past—it’s about Americans’ conception of themselves. Each generation reimagines the war in its own image, whether as glorious sacrifice, tragic delusion, or unutterable chaos. These movies tell us as much about the era in which they were created as they do about the 1860s. And so long as America grapples with identity and race and power, Hollywood will continue to return to those fields of battle—attempting once more to narrate the story of a country at war within itself.

Let’s face it—Hollywood’s not all about the glow of red carpet appearances and carefully coiffed sit-downs. Behind the glitz, it is a ruthless industry where one bad move can topple an entire career. The last few years have witnessed some of television’s most recognized faces go from being adored by millions to being cautionary figures, owing to scandals that blew up quicker than a trending hashtag. Some ended suddenly in a firestorm of scandal, while others gradually dwindled under the weight of infamy. Here’s a countdown in reverse of 10 of TV’s biggest scandals that brought once-emerging stars to a complete standstill.

10. Taylor Momsen – The Gossip Girl Rebel Without a Script

Taylor Momsen was a star household name as Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, but off-screen life began to reflect television when her behavior off-camera became as dramatic as that of her on-camera character. Tales were heard of her coming to the set without being prepared, forgetting lines, and generally checking out of the acting routine. Producers cut back on her role throughout season four, and before long, she was written out virtually entirely. But when everyone thought her career was self-destructing, Momsen had already embarked on a musical career. With her group, The Pretty Reckless, not only did she reinvent herself all over again, but she also became the first female-led group to top the Mainstream Rock Chart. Leaving TV for her was not the end; it was a beginning.

9. Thomas Gibson – Criminal Minds and a Set-Side Showdown

Thomas Gibson watched stern profiler Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds for over a decade. But in 2016, his on-set temper got the attention it was seeking. In the middle of one of the episodes he was directing, Gibson reportedly had a screaming argument with a producer that got physical. This was not the first time, however—he’d fought years earlier with an assistant director and even attended anger management. The network severed ties after this second outburst. His character was written out, and fans were left shocked. Turns out, even the most serious TV gumshoes can’t avoid the backlash for their own tantrums.

8. Shannen Doherty – A Career of Feuds and Firings

For a long time, Shannen Doherty was known to be one of the most difficult people to work with in Hollywood. While shooting Beverly Hills, 90210, she was constantly at odds with co-stars, was always late for work, and even had a physical altercation with Jennie Garth. After that, she was off the show. The same thing happened to her on Charmed, where her disputes with Alyssa Milano got so angry that she was out again. Though she was certainly a talented actress, her stay was as much a saga of off-stage as on-stage drama. At a minimum, Doherty did as much as to show that the fame of being twice publicly sacked can be as enduring as the acting one.

7. Columbus Short – A Real-Life Scandal on Scandal

Columbus Short played the role of Harrison Wright on Scandal, but his life outside the camera took such a turn that even Shonda Rhimes couldn’t have imagined. In 2014, stories of domestic violence, restraining orders, and addiction came out. While he was accumulating scandals off-stage, the show was quietly getting rid of him. For the audience, it was a hard lesson that sometimes the backstage drama that happens can be more intense than even the most exaggerated on-screen plot twists.

6. Jussie Smollett – Empire’s Collapse

Jussie Smollett’s acting career went down one of the most scandal-ridden ways, in the most widely reported lies of the past decade. At the beginning, the Empire artist claimed that he had been a victim of abuse due to his orientation, and, as a result, the whole country was on his side and supported him. But, very soon, officials accused the co-stars of the series of helping Smollett stage the whole thing, and the whole country of being in the wrong for sympathizing with him. The outcry was loud and immediate: his participation was stopped, and the former promising actor was stained with the lack of truth forever. As if the scandal was not already overshadowing the Empire, it then turned out to be bigger than the show.

5. Isaiah Washington – Words That Cost a Career

Isaiah Washington was undoubtedly a great choice as Dr. Preston Burke on Grey’s Anatomy, but everything turned upside down in 2006 when it was rumored that he used a homophobic slur during a heated argument with Patrick Dempsey. The victim of the incident was co-star T.R. Knight, who was the one Washington allegedly insulted. Washington accepted responsibility and regretted what happened, yet the resulting uproar intensified instead. By the fourth season, he was no longer there, completely removed from the program. A lesson to be learned is that talk is powerful in show business—and here, a single careless utterance wiped out all he had accomplished.

4. Roseanne Barr – From Revival to Ruin in One Tweet

Roseanne’s comeback in 2018 seemed to be a big deal, with many people being excited to have the sitcom queen back in the crew. Unfortunately, everything took a turn for the worse when she posted a tweet that contained a racist jab at former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. The situation only escalated when she deleted the tweet, apologized for the medication she was taking at the time, and yet, the damage was already done. Consequently, the network that aired the show at the time uprooted it, rapidly shutting down the series and rebranding it under a new name without her. In the Twitter era, her mishap was a career-ending blow that came in less than 280 characters.

3. Kevin Spacey – House of Cards Despite Fracturing

Spacey was one of the main reasons that the Netflix series was so successful, and his performance as Frank Underwood was truly great, but his career just could not survive the pressure of a series of serious allegations. In 2017, during a public interaction, actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making sensual advances towards him when he was 14 years old. Following this, many others filed similar accusations. The streaming service and production company parted ways with him immediately, and he was removed from the last season by force. On top of that, they filed a lawsuit against him for compensation. For the star of the Spacey-led TV empire, it was a fall from heaven to earth, much worse than the character he portrayed in the show.

2. Charlie Sheen – From Sitcom King to Career Disaster

Charlie Sheen was the highest-earning actor on television at the time of his magnificent career, making a lot of money on the show Two and a Half Men. However, off-camera areas of his life were a drug carnival, crazy interviews, and fights with the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre. His “tiger blood” and “winning” monologues were just mockery by comedians of late-night shows, and after all, Warner Bros. pulled the plug on him. Ashton Kutcher came in and saved the show, but Sheen never regained his career afterward. Sheen, who was always full of hot air, ended up being a lesson to all about how ego and excess can still make the fall of even the most marketable actor.

1. Ellen DeGeneres – The Fall of “The Queen of Nice”

Ellen DeGeneres was once the entertainment world’s most beloved personality, but her kingdom fell apart amidst swirling controversies. It began with cringeworthy viral moments, including the awkward Dakota Johnson interview, but escalated when she was seen taking time out with George W. Bush and instigated blowback in the LGBTQ+ community. The real breakdown took place during the pandemic, with news of low-paid and mistreated workers. Then followed up with allegations of a toxic work environment and abuse. Ratings plummeted and, after 19 years, The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended. Ellen would later admit that the scandals took a toll on her self-esteem, and although she’s tried to return through stand-up, her once-unshakeable brand never regained its footing.

Tinseltown loves redemption stories, but what these stories show is that fame is fleeting and the higher the rise, the greater the fall. For these stars, the spotlight didn’t just fade away—instead, it exploded dazzlingly.

Honestly, if you have ever yelled at your television because a character made an “unbelievable” decision, believe me, you are not the only one. TV fandoms are known to distribute both affection and animosity as if they were sweets, sometimes relying more on feelings rather than on facts. Of course, there exist some characters who are absolutely awful, but at times, that outburst of communal fury is taken too far.

Perhaps it’s a double standard. Perhaps it’s cultural baggage. Perhaps it’s just Twitter being Twitter. Either way, certain characters have caught a lot more grief than they deserved. So in reverse order, below are 10 TV characters who were despised—but likely shouldn’t have been.

10. Yennefer of Vengerberg (The Witcher)

Yennefer is tough, imperfect, and stubbornly independent—and to some fans, that makes her public enemy number one. Whether it’s her complicated relationship with Geralt or her refusal to play by the rules, she’s frequently savaged in ways male antiheroes are lucky to avoid. But take a closer look: she survived abuse, prejudice, and Herculean power struggles to emerge as one of fantasy TV’s most multidimensional characters. Perhaps the hate reveals more about our prejudices than about Yennefer herself.

9. Quinn Fabray (Glee)

Quinn began life as Glee’s quintessential mean girl, and for some viewers, that was enough to judge her on. Under all the icy stares and snarky remarks, though, was a teenager weighed down by perfectionism, teen pregnancy, and social expectations. When her male peers received redemption arcs and fan forgiveness, Quinn was frequently not given the same leeway. Sure, she messed up—but in the soap opera reality of Glee, who didn’t?

8. Jenny Humphrey (Gossip Girl)

Jenny’s transformation from Brooklyn nobody to Upper East Side force to be reckoned with was messy, and fans punished her for it. But can you blame her for learning to fit into the cutthroat world that surrounded her? Her ambition and missteps were met with out-of-balance criticism, particularly in comparison to the boys of Gossip Girl, whose bad behavior was frequently romanticized. Jenny was young, hungry, and trying to make it through a poisonous world that rewarded manipulation. She should have gotten more grace than she did.

7. Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Katara is the emotional anchor of Team Avatar, but she’s constantly belittled as “bossy” or “too much.” How ironic that being a strong moral compass and standing up for what is right are admired in male heroes, but are annoying in young girls. Katara’s leadership, emotional intelligence, and willingness to fight for others are just a few reasons why she is one of the most admirable characters on the show. Perhaps the issue isn’t her—it’s the way we perceive powerful young women on television.

6. Betty Draper (Mad Men)

Betty has been called cold, bitter, and a “bad mom” for years. But let’s not forget: she was a woman trapped by the repressive rules of the 1960s with no true means of expressing her frustration or discontent. While Don was living a secret life, Betty was trapped playing the role of a perfect homemaker, quietly disintegrating. She wasn’t likable, but she was authentic. And perhaps that made people uneasy.

5. Lori Grimes (The Walking Dead)

Lori was one of The Walking Dead’s most hated characters, criticized for everything from her parenting to her love life. But surviving a zombie apocalypse while raising a child and navigating an emotional minefield? That’s not exactly easy. Lori’s decisions weren’t always great, but they were human. Unfortunately, her agency and flaws made her a target in a fandom that rarely showed the same energy for its male leads’ mistakes.

4. Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls)

Paris wasn’t present to be your offbeat BFF. She was intense, hyper-motivated, and brutally candid—and that polarized her. She was labeled as a villain early on, but when the show continued, her vulnerability and depth made her one of Gilmore Girls’ most compelling characters. Paris taught us that ambitious girls who won’t dial it back can still be lovable—and that growth doesn’t have to accompany softness.

3. Skyler White (Breaking Bad)

Skyler didn’t kill people. She didn’t sell meth. She didn’t lie to her family for years. She just said, “No, I’m not going along with this,” and for that, she became one of the most hated women on TV. Anna Gunn, who played her, even wrote about the backlash she received—much of it rooted in misogyny. Skyler embodied the show’s conscience, and viewers resented her for shattering their illusion of supporting the antihero without remorse. 

2. Jessica Huang (Fresh Off the Boat)

Jessica was not your typical sitcom mom. She was hard-hitting, driven, and cuttingly funny—and some audiences just didn’t know what to make of that. Even as she became a favorite on the show, she was criticized as being “too harsh” or “unlikable.” But Jessica was a multifaceted character caught between the demands of motherhood, culture, and identity. She was witty, nuanced, and bracing—and she deserved better than nitpicky criticism for not being warm and fuzzy every moment.

1. Constance Wu (and the Real-Life Fallout)

Occasionally, the vitriol spills over into real life—and that’s what occurred with Constance Wu. When she spoke out in disappointment about Fresh Off the Boat being picked up (because it would hold up other roles), the internet turned against her in a big way. She was labeled as entitled, rude, and even ashamed of the community. It got so bad that Wu broke down and confessed later that it nearly killed her. Her tale is a poignant reminder: we hold women—particularly women of color—to perfection in a manner that’s not just unjust, but dangerous.

It’s easy to loathe a fictional woman from behind a screen. But perhaps next time, before piling on, we ask ourselves: Is this woman really that awful, or are we simply uncomfortable with women being flawed, loud, ambitious, or in control? Because most of the time, the women we “hate” are the ones holding up a mirror—and some of us just don’t like what we see.

A Great Mystery always has something hard to resist. Whether you are a keen armchair detective or just adore the tension of an unexpected twist, mystery shows have the power to hold you glued to them. Since these days people are more and more fond of crime dramas, psych thrillers, and supernatural mysteries, the world over, the audience is getting deeper and deeper into the saga of secrets, shocks, and suspense. If you are ready to act as a detective, then picking one of these 14 mystery shows to watch would not only be a great idea but also an unwinding activity that would make you guess from episode to episode.

1. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Adapted from Holly Jackson’s hit YA book, this thrilling series tracks high school student Pip Fitz-Amobi as she investigates a reopened murder case in her seemingly ordinary town. When Pip begins investigating Andie Bell’s disappearance and Sal Singh’s murder, she discovers layers of deception and hidden secrets. It’s an intelligent, contemporary whodunit that combines teen angst with a cutting-edge mystery.

2. Behind Her Eyes

This British psychological thriller makes a daring attempt at the genre, combining noir with supernatural suspense. A single mother finds herself in a complicated love triangle with her psychiatrist boss and his mysterious wife. The messy affair turns into a twisty game of obsession, secrets, and mind games, ending in one of TV’s most memorable conclusions.

3. Bodies

Time travel and homicide intersect in this creative series based on Si Spencer’s graphic novel. Four detectives, separated by decades—from 1890 to 2053—each stumble upon the same corpse in the same spot. As their investigations continue through time, a sweeping conspiracy is revealed, connecting them in surprising and brain-twisting ways.

4. Dark

A haunting, cerebral mystery that’s also one of the finest time-travel shows ever made. Set in the German town of Winden, “Dark” begins with the disappearance of a child and unravels into a generational mystery involving family secrets, parallel timelines, and fate. It’s a puzzle box that rewards careful attention—and delivers a truly epic payoff.

5. Dept. Q

Having survived a traumatic case, Detective Carl Mørck is rehomed in Scotland’s cold case unit, where he and his team handle long-abandoned crimes. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s award-winning crime novels, “Dept. Q” adds a dark, Nordic noir tone to each tale, combining emotional complexity with gruesome twists.

6. Get Even

In this teen thriller-mystery, four teenage girls at an exclusive private school start a secret club to catch bullies in the act. When one student is killed, and they’re accused of the crime, they must clear their names and discover the truth before everything falls apart. It’s a quick, well-written thriller that’s a fun, high-stakes mystery with a mix of suspense and social commentary.

7. The Haunting of Bly Manor

A gothic ghost story steeped in a slow-burning mystery, this sequel to “The Haunting of Hill House” is about a young American au pair who works at a secluded English mansion. Unsettling occurrences, buried pasts, and emotional discoveries make Bly Manor as heart-wrenching as it is haunted, interweaving supernatural scares with a moving tale of grief and love.

8. High Seas

Set on a luxurious 1940s ocean liner, this Spanish mystery series tracks two sisters who find themselves sleuthing a string of suspicious deaths on a transatlantic passage. With its retro look, cramped settings, and old-fashioned suspense, “High Seas” provides a fashionable twist on the vintage locked-room mystery.

9. Inside Man

Stanley Tucci gives a hair-raising performance as a genius criminologist cracking cold cases from death row. On the other side of the Atlantic, an otherwise unassuming English vicar becomes involved in a crime with global implications. As their narratives converge, this gripping miniseries leads to a clever and surprising conclusion.

10. The Residence

A murder mystery inside the most influential house in the world—the White House. Uzo Aduba plays a quirky but exceptional detective who is trying to solve a murder at a state dinner. Witty in tone and sporting an off-kilter cast of suspects, “The Residence” provides political intrigue with new, off-kilter sparkle.

11. Stay Close

From thriller virtuoso Harlan Coben, this suspenseful drama tracks the lives of a suburban mother, a photojournalist, and a detective—all tied together by a case that won’t remain buried. When a fresh disappearance echoes an old one, secrets long buried are thrust to the forefront. It’s a ride so addictive that it’s full of red herrings and emotional peril.

12. The Sinner

This anthology crime drama begins every season with a violent act, then strips away the layers to find out why. Bill Pullman stars as Detective Harry Ambrose, whose investigations frequently take him to the darkest recesses of human nature. Season one, which features Jessica Biel, still stands out for its eerie tale and multi-dimensional characters.

13. Wednesday

In this new interpretation of the Addams Family, Wednesday Addams is played by Jenna Ortega as a psychic teenager studying at Nevermore Academy. When a string of strange murders terrorizes the school, Wednesday finds herself both investigating and being investigated. With plenty of gothic atmosphere, witty wit, and spine-chilling twists, it’s a supernatural thriller that’s as stylish as it is suspenseful.

14. The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window

Kristen Bell goes for broke on the camp of the genre in this black comedy spoofing psychological thrillers. She plays a socially isolated artist with a grief problem who thinks she sees a murder taking place across the street—but nobody believes her. Is she losing her mind, or is something more nefarious afoot? The show ironically plays with genre conventions, and yet still has a twisty plot.

No matter if you’re a fan of old-school whodunits, creepy ghost tales, or high-concept thrillers, these mystery series deliver ample suspense and storytelling that satisfy your curiosity. Just don’t expect to binge more than you intend to.

Hollywood is often associated with red carpets, shining award speeches, and blockbuster premieres. However, beneath the sparkle, the industry is riddled with “what could have been” moments. Every iconic role has a backstory. Actors refused the roles, some actors weren’t cast, and sometimes the scripts just didn’t feel right at that time. A lot of people regret those decisions even years after. These are the top 10 actor regrets that made Hollywood history, ranging from box office flops to legendary successes, and some roles that were left on the table. We will make it more interesting by counting them down in reverse order.

10. Uma Thurman – The Lord of the Rings

Think of Uma Thurman wielding a sword as Eowyn, running wild through Middle-earth. That was close to happening. In fact, Thurman was initially cast but had just given birth to her first child and was unable to endure the tough shoot in New Zealand. In hindsight, she called it “one of the worst decisions ever made” and said she still regrets not being part of what turned out to be a cinematic phenomenon. Miranda Otto took over, made Eowyn memorable, and Thurman’s “what might have been” has become a legend in Hollywood.

9. Madonna – Catwoman and The Matrix

Before her pop dominance, Madonna had a taste of some big-time movie offers. She turned down Catwoman in Batman Returns and Nomi Malone in Showgirls, but her actual sadness? Passing on The Matrix. Madonna has since declared it “one of the greatest films ever,” and fans can only wonder at how a very different Neo—or in this instance, a very different film universe—might have been. Michelle Pfeiffer and Carrie-Anne Moss landed the parts, and Madonna’s “What If?” continues to be the stuff of legend.

8. Arnold Schwarzenegger – The Rock

Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger was offered the opportunity to appear in The Rock, a part that ultimately went to Nicolas Cage. When given a dirty, scrawled script by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Schwarzenegger returned it, telling them to come back when it was refined. By the time it had been cleaned up, Cage had signed on. Schwarzenegger went on to regret turning it down, defending Cage’s work but wishing he himself had leapt in.

7. Leonardo DiCaprio – Boogie Nights

Prior to Titanic launching him into superstardom, Boogie Nights came along with a starring role offered to DiCaprio. He turned it down for Jack Dawson instead, but afterwards conceded, “Boogie Nights is a movie I loved and wish I’d done.” Mark Wahlberg stole the role and made it happen, and though Titanic catapulted DiCaprio into fame, fans can’t help but speculate on how things might have gone differently.

6. Emily Blunt – Black Widow

Emily Blunt was initially offered Black Widow in Iron Man 2, but conflicting scheduling with Gulliver’s Travels prevented her from joining the MCU. She referred to it as “a bit of a heartbreaker,” admitting the billion-dollar windfall she lost. Scarlett Johansson played the part and became a household name, although Blunt did end up working with Robert Downey Jr. on Oppenheimer, mellowing out the hurt somewhat.

5. Halle Berry – Speed

Before Sandra Bullock boarded that speed bus, Halle Berry got the opportunity to play Annie Porter in Speed. She declined the role, laughing that in her film, “the bus didn’t leave the parking lot.” Berry later regretted it, as Bullock made the movie an action classic. Berry found her action stride eventually in John Wick: Chapter 3, but Speed is one of her biggest misopportunities.

4. Burt Reynolds – James Bond

Burt Reynolds was offered James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever, but declined, thinking, “An American can’t play Bond—it has to be an Englishman.” Years later, he called it “stupidity.” Sean Connery returned to the role, cementing the classic Bond legacy, while Reynolds’ own suave potential remained a tantalizing “what could have been.”

3. Matt Damon – Avatar

Matt Damon had a golden chance: the star of James Cameron’s Avatar, plus a 10% share of the box office. He turned it down to remain with the Bourne franchise. Given that Avatar went on to gross more than $2.7 billion, Damon afterwards conceded that it was “the dumbest thing an actor ever did in the history of acting.” Sam Worthington took over, and Damon’s missed paycheck entered Hollywood lore.

2. Denzel Washington – Seven

Denzel Washington passed on Brad Pitt’s part in Seven, believing the script was “too demonic.” Seeing the completed film, he admitted, “Oh man, I blew it.” Although his rationale was sound, Seven became a thriller cult classic, and Pitt’s starring performance left audiences wondering what Denzel could have done with the creepy character.

1. Will Smith – The Matrix

The all-time Hollywood regret? Will Smith’s refusal to play Neo in The Matrix. Smith hadn’t fully understood the Wachowskis’ presentation and took Wild Wild West instead—a miserably failed venture. Afterwards, he confessed, “And then I saw The Matrix, and I was like, you jump and you freeze! That was the right pitch!” Keanu Reeves solidified his place in film history, and Smith’s lost chance is among the most legendary “what ifs” in Hollywood.

Hollywood is a land of alternate universes. Picture Madonna as Catwoman, Matt Damon as lue Na’vi, or Denzel Washington uttering, “What’s in the box?” Each regret is a tale, each pass is speculation, and each missed chance contributes to the mythos of Tinseltown. Sometimes what you don’t do is as interesting as what you do.

When we consider movie magic, the first things that usually come to mind are the epic battles, sweeping romances, or the heart-wrenching finales. Yet, it is not only the heroes that dominate these memories. Quite often, it is the mentors who stay with the wise guides, the eccentric teachers, or the strict trainers who not only accompany the hero’s journey but also challenge, push, and simply be there, and hence leave a lasting impression.

These characters impart lessons through offering challenges, and sometimes just by their presence. When they are needed the most frequently, they become as unforgettable as the protagonists themselves. Here is a glance at the top 10 best mentor-mentee relationships in moviesbecause honestly, who wouldn’t want a Yoda, a Mr. Miyagi, or even a magical genie on their side?

10. Frankie Dunn & Maggie Fitzgerald – Million Dollar Baby

Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood), in no way, is merely instructing Maggie Fitzgerald the basics of boxingrather, he is demonstrating to her how to assert her existence in the world. After being tormented by his past, Frankie perceives Maggie as a way to redeem himself, whereas Maggie recognizes in him the paternal figure she lacked. Their connection, which is not necessarily a comfort or an ease, is, however, a strong and poignant occasion on film, to which the power of a mentor-mentee relationship can be life-changing not only for one but sometimes, even for two.

9. Haymitch Abernathy & Katniss Everdeen – The Hunger Games

Haymitch is not your smooth, motivational mentor; he’s snarky, grumpy, and perpetually drunk. But when the games start, his advice proves priceless. From survival strategy to survival savvy, he instructs Katniss (and Peeta) on how to successfully play the Capitol’s cruel game. Their dynamic is rough and complicated, but that makes it all the more authentic, and in the end, Haymitch’s hard-as-nails approach allows Katniss to live.

8. Master Shifu & Po – Kung Fu Panda

At first sight, a bumbling, dumpling-consuming panda is hardly likely to become a kung fu master. But reluctantly trained by Master Shifu, Po discovers that self-belief is the key to greatness. Their bond is both funny and touching, Shifu’s stern discipline offset by Po’s boundless enthusiasm. Ultimately, Shifu learns nearly as much from Po as Po does from him, a demonstration that tutors are changed by their pupils as well.

7. Professor Charles Xavier & The X-Men – X-Men Series

Professor X is not only a professor; he is a lifeline for young mutants who are troubled and confused by their powers and their sense of identity. His school turns into a shelter where, through his teachings, he instills acceptance, responsibility, and the strength of togetherness. Xavier’s teachings aren’t just for the students to master their powers; they regulate the practice of loving the things that make you unique and using them to make the world a better place. He’s the kind of mentor who, through patience, understanding, and an unflinching belief in his students, changes lives.

6. Gandalf & The Fellowship – The Lord of the Rings

The guy with the staff and fire,orks is not just Gandalf; rather, he is the compass that guides the Fellowship through the darkest parts of the journey. His wisdom, bravery, and occasional humor make Frodo, Aragorn, and the rest of the members of the Fellowship go beyond their fear. Gandalf is a mentor who is with us in our weakest moments but still manages to fill our hearts with hope by showing us that even the smallest person can change the future and encouraging us to use the time given to us to the fullest.

5. Professor Dumbledore & Harry Potter – Harry Potter Series

Mysterious, giving, and always one step ahead, Dumbledore is the best mentor one can have. He is forever conscious of the moments when he should provide advice and when he should let Harry discover on his own. The magic in their world doesn’t only represent wonders; it’s a metaphor for love, sacrifice, and the decisions that define us. Through his wisdom, Dumbledore keeps Harry Potter (and us) in mind that being great isn’t about being gifted but making the right choices.

4. Mr. Miyagi & Daniel – The Karate Kid

Mr. Miyagi turns Daniel through his “wax on, wax off” into a karate champion from a bullied teenager. But the whole fight is actually about more than that; it’s about discipline, balance, and respect. Miyagi’s concoction of patience, fun, and quiet might has made him one of the most unforgettable on-screen mentors. He tells both Daniel and all the watchers that character is just as important as skill.

3. Yoda & Luke Skywalker – Star Wars

Much as he was Yoda’s image, small in form but vast in understanding, he advised Luke to trust the Force, confront his fears, and learn through his challenges. Their Dagobah training sessions are of mythical status, yet it is Yoda’s own saying, “Do, or do not. There is no try,” which echoes over the years. Without Yoda, Luke would never have been the Jedi he was meant to be.

2. Mufasa & Simba – The Lion King

Mufasa, king and father, teaches Simba courage, responsibility, and the weight of leadership. His words follow Simba long after his death, haunting the very spot where Mufasa commands him to “remember who you are.” Their relationship is a lesson in paternal guidance, showing us that real mentoring can triumph even over death.

1. Genie & Aladdin – Aladdin

Genie could be the epitome of the flamboyant, comedic, and over-the-top personality, but it is the very same humor that holds some of the best pieces of advice in film history. He tells Aladdin to drop the mask, not to fall for the trap of pretending, and to like himself more. Their relationship is proof that the best advisors don’t dole out wisdom; they amuse you, annoy you, and let you find the magic within your own self.

Mentorship in film is not solely about giving advice; it is about growth, connection, and how another person’s skill can change another person’s route. Those couples are a reminder that even superheroes require support, and sometimes, the right mentor is the factor that decides between collapse and greatness.

Truth be told, Hollywood has not been very kind to Asian actors. For a long time, they were marginalized, typecast, or even completely written out, while white actors occasionally donned yellowface to take their characters. However, Asian actors have not been discouraged by these walls and have gone through the different generations to reopen the doors, change the representation, and show that their stories are the ones that deserve to be told. To begin with, the actors of the silent era who paved the way, and to end with the current worldwide stars, these 10 actors are the ones who not only acted but also made history.

10. Rain (Jung Ji-hoon): K-pop Star Turned Silver Screen Sensation

Long before BTS was selling out stadiums, Rain was already a global phenomenon. A one-man powerhouse in South Korea, where he ruled as a singer, performer, and actor, he then went to Hollywood and starred in Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin. His charm got him an MTV Movie Award and a place on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people. And it wasn’t just acting; Rain was instrumental in the spread of Korean pop culture worldwide and is one of the first Hallyu wave ambassadors.

9. Song Hye-kyo: The Drama Queen Who Ruled the World

Song Hye-kyo is a testament that a K-drama can transform everything. Rising to stardom with hits such as Autumn in My Heart and Full House, she became a worldwide sensation after Descendants of the Sun. Her success was not merely a matter of luck—she defied childhood illness and personal adversity to emerge as one of Korea’s favorite stars. Through her ability to consistently deliver authentic performances, Song has brought Korean storytelling into the global limelight and demonstrated how far and wide Asian drama can reach.

8. Ken Watanabe: Hollywood’s Japanese Leading Man

Ken Watanabe has a facility for conveying subtle authority on screen. As samurai warriors in The Last Samurai (for which he was Oscar-nominated) or as a depth charge in blockbusters such as Inception and Godzilla, Watanabe radiates a form of dignity that Hollywood largely withheld from Asian actors. Bilingual in Japanese and English, he’s demonstrated that rich, multidimensional characters don’t have to be bound by cultural clichés, and that audiences across the globe are starving for that realism.

7. Bruce Lee: The Legend Who Rattled It All

Bruce Lee was more than an actor—he was a cultural seismic shift. Born in San Francisco but raised in Hong Kong, Lee revolutionized martial arts on film and emerged as one of the most famous faces in the world. Movies such as Enter the Dragon did not merely feature stunning battle sequences; they redefined the West’s perception of Asian masculinity. Lee’s philosophy, discipline, and refusal to be stereotyped made him a movie star as well as a symbol of empowerment for future generations.

6. Anna May Wong: Hollywood’s First Asian American Star

Anna May Wong forged a career during a time when opportunities for Asian actors were almost non-existent. She burst through with The Toll of the Sea in 1922 and went on to become a global star. But even while dazzling on screen, she fought typecasting, pay disparities, and outright racism. Wong would not play along with caricatures and repeatedly demanded roles that had dignity, even going so far as to wear her natural hair in an industry where Hollywood insisted on wigs and stereotypes. She wasn’t alone among the pioneers of her time, but she was one of the most fearless—and her legacy resonates today.

5. Sessue Hayakawa and Tsuru Aoki: Silent Film Royalty

Several decades before diversity was even a term in Hollywood, Sessue Hayakawa was among its top-paid stars. He captivated audiences with starring turns in The Cheat and later received an Oscar nomination for The Bridge on the River Kwai. His wife, Tsuru Aoki, also enjoyed a successful career, playing the leading lady in The Wrath of the Gods and other silent films. Together, they broke down barriers and paved the way for future generations of Asian actors, demonstrating quite early that people would pay to see Asian performers on the big screen.

4. Michelle Yeoh: From Action Heroine to Oscar Winner

Michelle Yeoh has been denying typecasting for decades. She co-starred with Jackie Chan in Supercop, jumped to international fame with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and proved she could be funny with Crazy Rich Asians. And in 2023, she became the first Asian woman to ever receive an Oscar for Best Actress for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Yeoh has never been one to play it safe, but that Oscar win solidified her place as one of Hollywood’s most lasting and impactful stars.

3. Steven Yeun: A New Type of Leading Man

When Steven Yeun’s Glenn on The Walking Dead was a fan favorite, it was already historic. But Yeun didn’t rest on his laurels—won Oscar history with Minari, which made him the first Asian American to ever be nominated for Best Actor. His performance defies a generation of weary stereotypes, portraying Asian men as romantic heroes, richly detailed heroes, and fully human in ways Hollywood once refused. Yeun is a new era for Asian American actors, where complexity and depth are on the menu at last.

2. Jackie Chan: The Stunt King Who Made the World Laugh

Jackie Chan is not only an action hero—he’s an institution. Combining death-defying stunts with slapstick humor, Chan defined his own genre. From Hong Kong box office titans such as Drunken Master to international blockbusters such as Rush Hour, he’s produced more than 150 movies and gained followers through generations. Apart from being an actor, he’s also a director, producer, and philanthropist, and his impact on action filmmaking is too great to exaggerate. Without Jackie Chan, contemporary action cinema simply wouldn’t be the same.

1. The New Wave: Breaking Boundaries Together

Now, a new generation is redefining Hollywood’s playbook. Simu Liu became Marvel’s first Asian superhero in Shang-Chi. Awkwafina lent her offbeat humor and dramatic chops to The Farewell and took home a Golden Globe. Henry Golding emerged as the rom-com hunk of Crazy Rich Asians. Joining many others, these thespians are not merely following in the trailblazers’ footsteps—they’re moving the goalposts further, establishing richer, more multifaceted ground for Asian voices in Hollywood.

Asian performers have been an integral part of Hollywood since its dawn, but for far too long, their work was silenced or forgotten. From silent-film icons such as Sessue Hayakawa and Anna May Wong to international superstars such as Michelle Yeoh and Jackie Chan, these talents altered the landscape and paved the way for the future. And today, with today’s current stars at the helm of blockbuster franchises and boasting Oscars, the tale continues to be written—louder, prouder, and more out in the open than ever before.

Changes in the entertainment industry have made it harder for people to decide what to watch. Due to the continuous emergence of streaming platforms, viewers find themselves overwhelmed by choices. The new services challenge customers to spend time searching and trying some content until they finally pick a certain show to watch. Therefore, all this activity results in a lack of time to actually consume content, and people are feeling frustrated with it.

That is why I am here to help you out. I have done all the necessary work, such as exploring, skipping, and going through those inevitable midnight marathons of “just one more episode, ” and I have come up with a list of the ten most popular shows to watch right now. So, get your beloved snack ready, settle down in your comfy spot at home, and let’s start the countdown from ten to one because only a few people have not been caught in suspenseful moments.

10. Overcompensating

Are you searching for a college comedy that is irreverent, truthful, and humorously brutal? Overcompensating is that kind of movie in every way. Benny is a brand new player on the brilliant the handsome, but extremely wild and chaotic life of the campus, a freshman football player juggling a big secret. By turns, the series is an uncomfortable, noisy, unashamed, and very sarcastic jokes that will make you laugh one second and cringe the next. In other words, the chaotic and dirty side of youth mixed with a very sharp millennial bite. You can watch it now on Prime Video.

9. Dept. Q

Would you like to see something sinister? Dept. Q is a British detective drama that really packs a punch. Matthew Goode portrays Carl Mørck, an ex-investigator who was once highly regarded but had his career destroyed by a calamity. Confined in a cellar, he is assigned only to cold cases from the past, but these are cases that will not be very cold for long. It’s gloomy, it’s gripping, and it is designed to fool you until the last second. Netflix does have this one, but beware: your sleep patterns may be messed up.

8. Murderbot

Get to know your new favorite antihero: a security robot that would rather watch soap opera marathons than rescue humans. From Martha Wells’ award-winning books, Murderbot combines witty banter with high-octane action as Alexander Skarsgård enlivens the sarcastic, existential robot. It’s a science fiction show, both brainy and funny, which makes it one of Apple TV+’s most distinctive titles.

7. The Pitt

Sick of generic medical dramas? The Pitt dissects the formula. Filmed over the course of one grueling 15-hour ER shift, each episode represents an hour in real time. Noah Wyle plays a physician struggling to keep his ER running with the specter of budget cuts, staffing shortages, and constant emergencies. The payoff: raw, unflinching, and impossible to turn away from. Watch on Max.

6. Paradise

Political thriller? Check. Secret underground bunker? Check. Murder mystery? Double check. Hulu’s Paradise features Sterling K. Brown as a Secret Service agent entangled in the aftermath of a presidential assassination. What ensues is a gripping tapestry of lies, power struggles, and dystopian drama that seems all too familiar to our own reality. Twisty, suspenseful, and ideal for binge-watching in one sitting.

5. The Studio

Hollywood satire doesn’t get much sharper than The Studio. Seth Rogen co-creates and stars as a newly promoted exec trying to run a legacy film studio where everything—literally everything—goes wrong. Celebrity cameos, inside jokes, and bold filmmaking tricks make it a wild ride for movie lovers. If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the curtain of showbiz (and laugh at the chaos), this Apple TV+ comedy is for you.

4. Foundation

Isaac Asimov’s science fiction classic receives the luxurious treatment in Foundation, three seasons in on Apple TV+. Imagine a vast galaxy governed by emperors cloned from their predecessors, a mathematical genius foretelling their collapse, and a questing mission to preserve humankind’s future. Starring Jared Harris and Lee Pace, this series is sheer space opera spectacle—grand, stunning, and eternally ambitious.

3. The Bear

Few series bottle anxiety, comedy, and sentiment as well as The Bear. Jeremy Allen White plays Carmy, a chef who takes over his family’s Chicago sandwich shop following tragedy. It’s raw, quick-cut, and excruciatingly real in its depiction of the restaurant grind. If you haven’t yet heard “Yes, Chef!” yelled online, you will. All four seasons are available to stream on Hulu.

2. Alien: Earth

The Alien franchise has officially taken over TV land, and it’s charmingly scary. Alien: Earth is a work that bridges the gap between the first and second films, as the story of the space aliens invading the Earth, and a group of soldiers fighting with them, unfolds. Noah Hawley’s concept is still grand, though it brings in different characters and lore. It isn’t quite as thrilling as a half-hour alone at midnight, but you’ll love it nonetheless. Catch it on FX/Hulu.

1. The Paper

Greg Daniels and Michael Koman (The Office, Parks and Rec) are the minds behind The Paper, a mockumentary about a failing Ohio newspaper set in which. Oscar Nunez, Domhnall Gleeson, and Sabrina Impacciatore, the leads of a fantastic group, perfectly combine the ridiculousness of the workplace, the presence of oddballs, and the surprise of the heart in the series. If you are a fan of the golden age of cringe-mockumentary, Peacock is the place to be for your next addiction.

So, there you go: ten shows to fall asleep watching. If you are in the mood for laugh-out-loud satire, nail-biting thriller suspense, or even existential robots with funny streaming habits, there is something here to perfectly scratch that “What should I watch?” itch. Now, the only question is: what lies at the top of your queue?
