Families Like Ours
NetflixMiniseries | Jun 10, 2025
Directed by Oscar-winner Thomas Vinterberg, this emotionally charged miniseries takes place in a near-future Denmark struggling with rising sea levels. As widespread flooding forces the population to leave their homes, the story follows several families as they face separation, loss, and uncertainty. Through intimate storytelling, the series captures the human cost of environmental change and highlights the strength of family ties during times of upheaval. It’s a powerful reflection on identity, belonging, and the meaning of home when everything familiar starts to disappear.
🎬 Drama, Sci-Fi | 📍 Denmark | 🗣️ Danish
🎥 Directed by: Thomas Vinterberg
🎭 Cast: Amaryllis August, Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Paprika SteenOur Take
★★★★☆ 4.5/5With Thomas Vinterberg directing, I expected something bold, and that’s exactly what this is. I found the premise completely gripping. It flips the typical refugee narrative on its head, and I don’t think it lets anyone off the hook emotionally. For me, this was a rare piece of sci-fi that actually challenged how I think, not just how I feel. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants more than just escapism from their dramas.

Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy
NetflixDocumentary | Jun 10, 2025
This in-depth documentary investigates the catastrophic events of the 2021 Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. During Travis Scott’s performance, a deadly crowd surge resulted in numerous casualties and widespread trauma. The film presents firsthand accounts from survivors, emergency responders, and event staff, piecing together the night’s timeline. Beyond recounting the facts, it raises urgent questions about concert safety and accountability, offering a sobering look at how a celebration turned into one of the most devastating live music tragedies in recent memory.
🎬 Documentary, Crime | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Yemi Bamiro
🎭 Cast: Travis Scott, Survivors, Paramedics, Security StaffOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5This didn’t feel like a documentary made to entertain. To me, it felt like a serious piece of investigative work. What stuck with me most was the focus on survivors—those personal accounts were hard to hear, but that’s exactly why it mattered. I think the way it avoids sensationalism is what gives it real weight. It’s not easy to watch, but I believe it’s necessary.

Aniela
NetflixTV Series | Jun 11, 2025
Set in modern-day Poland, this character-driven drama follows Aniela, a woman whose carefully structured life unravels overnight. As she faces unexpected challenges, Aniela is pushed to reevaluate her choices, confront long-avoided truths, and navigate complex family dynamics. Blending humor and heartfelt emotion, the series captures the messiness of personal transformation. It’s a story about rediscovering joy, adapting to change, and finding clarity in the chaos of everyday life.
🎬 Comedy, Drama | 📍 Poland | 🗣️ Polish
🎥 Directed by: Jakub Piątek, Kuba Czekaj
🎭 Cast: Małgorzata Kożuchowska, Jacek Poniedziałek, Cezary Pazura, Gabriela Muskała, Filip Pławiak, Renata DancewiczOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3.5/5I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The lead actress completely carries the show, and I was drawn in by how quietly honest her story felt. It’s not flashy or groundbreaking, and the plot is familiar in places, but I think the writing has a dry sharpness that works. There’s this mix of humor and melancholy that really clicked with me. I’ve seen shows try that tone and miss, but this one gets it right.

Along the way, she meets new people who challenge her perspective and help her see life in a different light. The film reflects on themes such as connection, self-reflection, and the ongoing search for meaning and fulfillment.

🎬 Comedy, Drama, Romance | 📍 Brazil | 🗣️ Portuguese
🎥 Directed by: Cris D'Amato
🎭 Cast: Thati Lopes, Regina Braga, Jonas BlochOur Take
★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5This is one of those movies I put on when I didn’t want anything heavy. And it delivered exactly that. I liked the scenery, and the main performance is charming enough, but the story? It’s completely predictable. For me, it was nice background viewing on a lazy evening, but nothing I’d remember the next day. Sometimes that’s fine too.

Cocaine Air: Smugglers at 30,000 Ft
NetflixDocumentary | Jun 11, 2025
This intense documentary takes viewers into the rarely seen world of aerial drug trafficking. With a focus on the high risks and complex strategies used by international smuggling networks, the series uncovers how drugs are moved across borders using planes, drones, and other airborne methods. Interviews with law enforcement officials, former traffickers, and investigative journalists offer a comprehensive look at the dangerous game of evasion and enforcement. It’s a gripping examination of a covert operation happening far above our heads.
🎬 Documentary, Crime | 📍 France | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Stéphane Rybojad, Thomas Dandois, Maxime Bonnet, Jérôme Pierrat
🎭 Cast: Interviewees, Real-life individualsOur Take
★★★★☆ 4/5This was wild. I love true crime, and I’ve seen a lot, but this story felt especially surreal. What pulled me in was the mystery around whether the pilots knew what they were transporting. That moral gray area made it way more than just another smuggling tale. I thought the interviews were well done and the pacing really kept things moving. For me, it’s easily one of the more gripping crime docs I’ve seen this year.

As they attempt to understand the unfamiliar world around them, their relationship begins to shift in unexpected ways. Nora quickly embraces a future where her skills are recognized and her independence is valued, while Héctor struggles to find his footing.

🎬 Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi | 📍 Mexico | 🗣️ Spanish
🎥 Directed by: Chava Cartas
🎭 Cast: Lucero, Benny IbarraOur Take
★★☆☆☆ 2/5The premise really grabbed me, and I thought the two leads had great chemistry, but I was disappointed by how it all played out. The movie hints at interesting themes around gender roles and social expectations, but it never really commits to exploring them. Instead, it leans on broad comedy and a script that feels half-baked. For me, it’s one of those films where the concept deserved a lot more than it got.

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster
NetflixDocumentary | Jun 11, 2025
This investigative documentary explores the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible during its mission to the site of the Titanic wreck. With a careful breakdown of the timeline, expert insights, and firsthand accounts, the film examines the technical and human factors behind the fatal incident. It sheds light on safety warnings that went unheeded, the race to rescue the crew, and the lasting impact of the tragedy on deep-sea exploration. The result is a sobering and informative portrait of one of the most shocking maritime events in recent history.
🎬 Documentary, History, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Mark Monroe
🎭 Cast: Interviewees, ExpertsOur Take
★★★★☆ 4.5/5This is one of the most compelling documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Even though we all know how it ends, the way it builds tension is incredibly effective. I was struck by how carefully it lays out the warning signs and expert concerns that were ignored. For me, it’s not just about the tragedy itself but about the mindset that led to it. I think anyone interested in technology, risk, or human ego needs to see this.

NetflixTV Series | Jun 12, 2025
Hazel Wells returns for another round of magical mischief in the second season of this animated favorite. Still adjusting to life in Dimmsdale, Hazel leans on her fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, whose unpredictable magic leads to hilarious and chaotic results. From battling rock creatures to making wishes that go wildly off track, each episode delivers new laughs and fantastical surprises. It’s a playful, colorful ride that brings a fresh twist to the charm fans have loved for years.
🎬 Animation, Family, Comedy, Fantasy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Fred Seibert, Butch Hartman
🎭 Cast: Susanne Blakeslee, Tara Strong, Ashleigh Crystal Hairston, Daran NorrisOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5This reboot hasn’t fully figured itself out yet, but I still found it pretty enjoyable. I do miss Timmy’s chaotic energy, and I don’t think the new setup is quite as sharp, but Hazel is likable and Cosmo and Wanda are still fun to watch. For me, it’s not perfect, but it’s got enough of the original charm to make it work, especially for younger viewers coming in fresh.

Fubar: Season 2
NetflixTV Series | Jun 12, 2025
Arnold Schwarzenegger steps back into action as the unconventional CIA agent in the second season of this fast-paced spy comedy. The story continues to follow a father and daughter team juggling top-secret missions with their often complicated family dynamic. As the stakes rise, so do the laughs, with explosive scenes, sharp dialogue, and unexpected emotional turns. Whether facing off against villains or confronting personal dilemmas, the duo proves that saving the world sometimes requires a little family teamwork.
🎬 Action, Comedy | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Nick Santora
🎭 Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Jay Baruchel, Andy BuckleyOur Take
★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5Arnold still has presence, no doubt, but for me, that only goes so far. The second season feels like it’s going through the motions. The jokes are familiar, and the emotional moments between the father and daughter characters just don’t land. I think if you're looking for something loud and mindless, it’ll do the trick. Personally, though, I found it kind of tired.

🎬 Action, Thriller | 📍 United States | 🗣️ English
🎥 Directed by: Jean-François Richet
🎭 Cast: Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Yoson An, Daniella Pineda, Tony GoldwynOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3.5/5This is exactly what I want from a mid-budget action movie. It’s simple, fast, and doesn’t waste time trying to be anything it’s not. I thought Gerard Butler and Mike Colter made a great team, and the pacing never dragged. For me, this is the kind of movie you throw on when you want something direct and satisfying without having to think too hard. It knows what it is, and it delivers.

The Masire brothers return to confront new enemies and old rivalries, all while grappling with the supernatural legacy that has long haunted their family. As tensions rise and alliances shift, the line between power and sacrifice becomes increasingly blurred. With its mix of crime, mythology, and family drama, this season raises the stakes in every way.

🎥 Directed by: Shona Ferguson, Samad Davis
🎭 Cast: Brenda Ngxoli, Cindy Mahlangu, Connie Ferguson, Masasa Mbangeni, Bongile Mantsai, Abdul KhozaOur Take
★★★☆☆ 3/5This show still looks incredible. The production design, the vibe, the pacing. All of it feels sleek. But personally, I think the supernatural parts get in the way. When it leans into the mystical, it pulls me out of what could have been a strong crime story. I'm still waiting for the emotional moments to land as hard as the action.

🎬 Reality, Romance, Comedy | 📍 Spain | 🗣️ Spanish
🎥 Directed by: Unknown
🎭 Cast: Alba Carrillo (Host), ContestantsOur Take
★★☆☆☆ 2.5/5You already know what this is. It's dramatic, loud, and completely over the top in all the expected ways. For me, the format is starting to feel a bit tired. But if you're looking for something messy and mindless, it absolutely delivers. It's junk food TV, and sometimes that's exactly what hits the spot.

★★★☆☆ 3/5I haven’t followed Grey’s for years, but I’ve got to admit it’s impressive that the show is still going this strong. There’s something about its mix of hospital drama and tangled relationships that keeps people coming back. For longtime fans, it still offers that familiar mix of comfort and chaos.
