A number of different directors have tried to make a film about the world's most popular game for many years since the first plans were presented over ten years ago. It has proven to be difficult, but now it's here. Jason Momoa and Jack Black play the lead roles in the film where four people suddenly find themselves in Overworld and – bit by bit – need to use all their creativity to survive without being eaten by the game's famous zombies.

The film is not about the actual terrorist attack during the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, when Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage. Instead, it depicts how the American TV company ABC's sports department covered the event. About the internal struggle against the news department and the news pulse, but also about the ethical considerations that must be made during live broadcasting.

When Molly finds out that her cancer is incurable, she breaks up with her hopeless husband to instead go out on apps and have as much sex as possible. As much as she can, between all the hospital visits. Michelle Williams has been praised for her performance in the lead role in the series based on an American podcast.

The dystopian series is back after three years with a final season. June (Elisabeth Moss) has fled with her child, but without her husband Luke (O-T Fagbenle) who has been arrested for murder. But June is determined to crush Gilead once and for all. And soon she encounters an unexpected person from her past.

Drama series on the emergency ward are hot again. After "The Pitt" on Max and "Berlin ER" on AppleTV+, Netflix's "Pulse" is coming. And at this hospital in Miami, the love storms are almost as intense as the recurring hurricanes. The young emergency doctor Danny (Willa Fitzgerald) is promoted to chief, but her complicated romance with colleague Phillips (Colin Woodell) causes trouble.

Kevin Bacon plays the lead role in an action-packed horror series with an interesting premise: a dead bounty hunter is revived by the Devil himself to hunt down escaped demons. On the side of his full-time job, Bacon's character is also a country artist.
