It’s a huge weekend for Ryan Gosling, with his new film, Project Hail Mary, already proving to be a box office hit. If you see it in theaters, you’ll probably also get a sneak peek at the trailer for Dune: Part Three – the exciting conclusion to Denis Villeneuve’s Dune trilogy, based on Frank Herbert’s Dune: Messiah. Interestingly, both Project Hail Mary and the Dune films share a subtle connection to a lesser-known science fiction thriller.

If you’re looking for a gripping weekend watch, the six-episode miniseries Black Bird delivers a fictional story rooted in the dark side of human nature. It’s a compelling blend of the suspenseful atmosphere of The Silence of the Lambs and the psychological depth of Mindhunter.

If you enjoyed either of those films, Black Bird – a surprisingly overlooked and haunting series – is definitely worth checking out.

Both critics and audiences have loved The Boys, and it’s been a big success. Its consistently clever and biting take on superheroes is reflected in its 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
