I have to admit, I came into this story a little late – I hadn’t listened to all the Murdaugh Murders Podcast episodes, watched the Netflix series, or followed all the Dateline, 48 Hours, and 20/20 coverage. But Death in the Family quickly filled me in. It turns out Alex Murdaugh came from a prominent South Carolina family with a dark past, building his fortune through settlements and some shady dealings. The series lays out everything – how he was ultimately convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. What I really appreciated about this Hulu miniseries, from Erin Lee Carr and Michael D. Fuller, is that it doesn’t try to shock you with twists. It’s a straightforward, unsettling look at a man with no moral compass, and it’s all the more impactful for it.

Viewers will likely identify this series as Broadchurch, given the two main actors. For those unfamiliar, this British crime thriller was hugely popular during its three seasons (2013-2017), and deservedly so. Broadchurch showcased powerful performances from its leads, who played anything but typical police officers. Tennant portrayed a flawed and troubled Detective Inspector, while Colman delivered a deeply realistic performance as a Detective Sergeant whose son was potentially connected to the case.

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie delivered the action and famous actors you’d expect from a Michael Bay production. The cast included Will Arnett, Whoopi Goldberg, William Fichtner, Johnny Knoxville, and Tony Shalhoub – before he starred in the Reacher series on Prime Video. This film reimagined the Turtles’ origin story, showing how they first met April O’Neil and battled the villainous Shredder and his Foot Clan.

Though House remains influential and groundbreaking, other shows have since expanded on its ideas and even surpassed it in certain areas. While House brilliantly combined a brilliant but flawed main character, clever dialogue, and complex ethical dilemmas, other dramas have now achieved similar—or even greater—success in those same areas.

This competition features a new cast of characters – no Suzie, Marty, or the preacher’s wife this time. Instead, we have Aaron, a seemingly perfect contestant, Toby, a WWII pilot, Iain, who’s fun-sized but fierce, Tom, tall and charming like a Disney prince, and Jasmine, who’s simply unforgettable, at least according to Noel. Their first challenge? Making a Basque cheesecake, which technically qualifies as a dessert. Honestly, though, it’s so good I’d happily eat it any time of day – for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even after a workout! If you think cheesecake is only for dessert, you’re either lacking imagination or haven’t seen every episode of The Golden Girls.

Here is what we have learned about Gen V Season 3’s release date and when it could be coming out.

The eighth episode of Gen V Season 2, called “Trojan,” offered new information about Compound V and hinted at the future of Vought Rising. The episode showed Thomas Godolkin getting his body back thanks to Marie’s abilities. After regaining his physical form, he indulges in simple pleasures like eating and shares a close connection with Sister Sage.

Raquel has cleverly turned a difficult situation into a successful career. As a firefighter’s widow, she gained a following and now works as a grief influencer, starring in the reality show Black Veil, which helps other widows find love again. In a surprising move, she chose to focus on herself – and her memories of her late husband – instead of picking one of the two men competing for her affection on the show. This decision has paved the way for a promising future, with her agent anticipating steady income from potential new projects like her own reality series, a line of dresses, and the growing value of her brand, boosted by her 15 million followers.

Here’s all you need to know.

Even though the game itself is easy to pick up and play, it features a huge roster of over 140 different characters. Beyond the gameplay, there’s a rich backstory and detailed world that makes it truly special – and the show Arcane builds on that even further. Arcane isn’t a complete retelling of the game; it’s just one part of a much bigger universe. Critics agree it’s fantastic, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a perfect 100% score, and rightfully so thanks to its impressive quality.
