Shooting straight to the top of the charts (and with good reason) is the excellent new limited series that serves as a prequel and bridge to season 3 of Bridgerton.

The gripping new drama tells the story of Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and power.

In his glowing review of the new series, Matthew Gilbert for the Boston Globe concluded:

“Queen Charlotte has the same beautiful gardens, the same covers of pop songs, the same upbeat tone and the same central theme: the search for love. It’s a spin-off, yes, but it’s good.”

Now, if you’re in for an action game and you’re willing to not question what you see on the screen for an hour and a half, survive the night from Lionsgate Pictures could be for you.

The film is about a trauma doctor and his family who are held hostage by criminals after a botched armed robbery leaves one of them injured and in need of surgery.

Laya’s horizon

Finally, we would like to give a thumbs up and a warm recommendation to Laya’s horizonthe second game from small indie studio Snowman exclusively for Netflix.
