”Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong's new film is a satire about tech moguls. And on Netflix, a Danish crime series has become a Scottish crime series. Here are this week's films and series.

FILM (premiere 30/5).

” (1/6, Max).

Jesse Armstrong was the brain behind the acclaimed ”Succession”. In his new film, he directs his sharp pen at the megalomaniac tech entrepreneurs gather to hang out for the weekend in a remote luxury cottage, while the world is in chaos – due to one of the entrepreneurs' new AI tools. But they are more interested in internal power struggles that take on increasingly worse forms. Steve Carell and Jason Schwartzman play two of the main roles.

” (4/6).

Ana de Armas plays the lead role in this spin-off of the John Wick films. She is Eve, a ballet-trained torpedo out to avenge her father's murder. Since the story takes place between the third and fourth Wick films, John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, can also make an appearance.

Mia Threapleton plays the lead role in Wes Anderson's latest film. She plays Liesl, a nun at the center of Anderson's typically flipped-out plot, which revolves around shady business in the Middle East.

” (29/5).

The Netflix series ”Cobra Kai” has revived the 80s classic, and now comes the first film in 15 years – with a new Kid (Ben Wang). Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) guides him into the world of martial arts as support against the school bullies. The original Karate Kid (Ralph Macchio) also appears.

” (29/5, Netflix).

Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime series has become a Netflix series, but the plot has been moved from Copenhagen to Edinburgh. Matthew Goode plays the grumpy Commissioner Morck, who reluctantly takes the help of new colleague Akram (Swedish Alexej Manvelov) to solve a "cold case".

” (29/5, Prime Video).

Thriller series about two sisters (Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel) who were married to the same man. When he is murdered, they must put aside their differences while the hunt for the perpetrator continues.

” (30/5, Max).

As the third season of the City girls begins, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is walking around in a house that is too big and trying to live without Aidan (John Corbett), who has moved out, while Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) starts dating a nun (Rosie O'Donnell).
