For years, crime dramas have often glorified those in charge – the powerful criminals who thrive on control and manipulation. But the new show MobLand takes a different approach with its main character, Harry, who is defined by exhaustion. The series explores what happens when that power begins to crumble. MobLand doesn’t romanticize crime; it shows how damaging it truly is. Harry’s attempt to maintain order in London’s criminal world feels less like a task and more like a slow, suffocating struggle. Created by Ronan Bennett and produced by Guy Ritchie, the show blends a contemporary feel with a nostalgic tone.

Jalmari Helander, a rising star in action filmmaking, delivers a truly gripping and intense war movie with Sisu. After gaining international recognition with the unique cult hit Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010) and a foray into Hollywood with Big Game (2015), Helander has truly excelled with Sisu (2022). Many are calling it one of the best action films of the decade, or even the century, and critics agree, giving it a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 182 reviews. Audiences also love it, with an 88% approval rating.

Movies about filmmaking often focus on the challenges and difficulties of the process. While some films still capture the excitement of movie-making, those that show what really happens behind the scenes reveal it’s rarely as glamorous as people think.
