Season 1 earned an impressive 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans praising its upscale British boarding school setting, compelling romance, and high-stakes drama.

2. Playdate

Release Date: November 12, 2025 | Type: Action Comedy Film | Runtime: Approximately 2 hours

Director: Luke Greenfield | Writer: Neil Goldman | Producers: Multiple production companies

Cast: Kevin James as Brian Jennings (unemployed accountant), Alan Ritchson as Jeff Eamon (mysterious stay-at-home dad), Sarah Chalke as Emily, Alan Tudyk as Simon Maddox, Stephen Root as Gordon, Isla Fisher as Leslie, Benjamin Pajak as Lucas, Banks Pierce as CJ

This wild suburban action comedy pairs comedy icon Kevin James with Alan Ritchson (of Reacher fame) in a bromance that delivers equal parts hilarity and high-stakes mayhem. Director Luke Greenfield crafts a film where a simple playdate spirals into chaos when mercenaries crash the scene, forcing Brian and Jeff to transform minivans into getaway cars and backyard BBQs into battlegrounds. James brings his trademark dad humor while Ritchson provides muscular action-hero credibility, creating an unexpectedly charming dynamic. The supporting cast—including Sarah Chalke, Alan Tudyk, and Isla Fisher—adds comedic depth to nearly every scene. Playdate proves that suburban action comedy can be both intelligent and genuinely funny, appealing to audiences seeking heartwarming family moments wrapped in high-velocity adventure.

3. Malice

Release Date: November 14, 2025 (All 6 episodes available) | Type: Psychological Revenge Thriller | Episodes: 6

Cast: Jack Whitehall as Adam (charismatic tutor with hidden agenda), David Duchovny as Jamie Tanner (wealthy venture capitalist), Carice van Houten as Nat Tanner, Harry Gilby, Teddie Allen, and Phoenix Laroche as the Tanner children, Christine Adams as Jules, Raza Jaffrey as Damien

Jack Whitehall makes a bold departure from his lovable comedic roles to play Adam, a charming tutor whose arrival at the wealthy Tanner family’s Greek holiday villa begins a meticulous revenge plot reminiscent of The Talented Mr. Ripley. This dark psychological thriller, penned by BAFTA-winning writer James Wood, follows Adam as he orchestrates his way into the family’s London home, systematically turning Jamie and Nat against each other while plotting the family’s downfall. David Duchovny brings gravitas to the role of the vulnerable patriarch, while Carice van Houten (known for Game of Thrones) provides emotional complexity as his wife. The series promises shocking twists and turns that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With all six episodes dropping at once, Malice is primed for binge-watching, combining elegant cinematography with psychological tension.

This animated series brings the heartwarming charm of Merry Little Batman to the small screen. Damian Wayne, Bruce’s young son, becomes his own pint-sized version of the Dark Knight, discovering his crime-fighting passion while maintaining family bonds. Luke Wilson returns as Bruce Wayne/Batman, while James Cromwell reprises his role as Alfred, the devoted family butler. The show blends action-packed superhero battles with genuinely funny family comedy, creating a unique animated experience that appeals to both children and adults.
