Smoke
Apple TV+TV Series | Jun 27, 2025
Three lives collide in a city that feels like it’s on the edge of collapse. One man used to be a cop but can’t escape the past. Another is running for office and hiding the truth. A journalist is done staying silent. As their stories twist together, it gets harder to tell who’s helping and who’s hiding. The show digs into secrets, ambition, and what it really means to come clean.
🎬 Crime, Drama | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Kari Skogland, Joe Chappelle
🎭 Cast: Taron Egerton, Billy Bob Thornton, Connie Britton, Eileen Walsh, Michiel HuismanOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5I was mostly in it for the cast—Taron Egerton, Billy Bob Thornton, all great—but I kept waiting for the story to take off. It’s slow, very slow, and while I don’t mind character-driven stuff, I found myself checking out a little. That said, the performances are solid, and there’s definitely something building under the surface. I just wish it got there a little sooner. If you’re into moody, layered crime dramas, this might still be your thing.

The Buccaneers Season 2
Apple TV+TV Series | Jun 18, 2025
Season 2 of 'The Buccaneers' continues the story of a group of vibrant young American heiresses navigating the rigid social circles of 1870s London. After the dramatic events of the first season, the girls find themselves facing new challenges and complexities in their pursuit of love, independence, and belonging. As they contend with societal expectations, romantic entanglements, and family secrets, their bonds of friendship are tested. The series promises more period drama, sharp wit, and a modern sensibility as these rebellious 'new money' Americans continue to shake up the aristocratic world of old England.
🎬 Drama, Romance, History | 📍 United Kingdom | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: William McGregor, Rachel Leiterman, John Hardwick, Charlie Manton
🎭 Cast: Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Aubri Ibrag, Josie Totah, Imogen Waterhouse, Matthew Broome, Guy Remmers, Christina Hendricks, Leighton Meester, Josh Dylan, Barney Fishwick, Jacob IfanOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5I still love the styling and modern twist of this series, but this season didn’t quite work for me. It goes in a darker direction, and I felt like some of the characters made choices that didn’t add up. That said, if you’re already invested in the story, there’s still plenty to enjoy. It just doesn’t have the same charm as the first season.

🎬 Thriller, Psychological Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Michael Pearce
🎭 Cast: Julianne Moore, Sydney Sweeney, Domhnall Gleeson, Kyle MacLachlan, Fiona Shaw, Edmund Donovan, Rebecca CreskoffOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney in a psychological thriller. That alone makes this something I have to see. I’ve always been drawn to slow-burn stories that focus more on people than on jump scares. With Apple TV Plus behind it, I’m expecting something intense and emotional. It feels like it’s going to explore the kind of choices a parent makes when they’re out of options.

It’s a joyful celebration of childhood wonder and the limitless potential of make-believe.
🎬 Animation, Family, Adventure | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Siri Melchior
🎭 Cast: Isabel Birch, Ian James CorlettOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5This is exactly the kind of kids’ show I wish there were more of. It’s soft and simple. It encourages imagination without shouting every second. I personally love how it reminds kids that adventure doesn’t need batteries or buttons. Just a cardboard box and a good idea can be enough.
