Stream On: The Resurrection #3

5 things you need to watch. Now. Right now. After you’ve read this list, obviously. Here’s the previous edition if you’re in need of more recommendations: #1, #2.

For All Mankind (Apple TV+ – 40 x 60 mins)

We’re now on season 4 of one of the greatest science fiction shows of the 21st Century, so it’s about time you get on board. With each episode of the new season dropping weekly on a Friday, you’ve got a bit of time to catch up. The premise of an alternate history is not necessarily a new one, but the one this show picks really is – What if, in 1969, the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon? The result is a blend of science fiction, drama and thriller on a big budget, with amazing performances and beautiful cinematography.

The Greatest Show Never Made (Prime – 3 x 60 mins)

We’re in a fascinating time at the moment of reassessing the noughties, both the high and the contradictory lows – this docuseries is a great addition to that analysis. In 2002, six young people seeking fame & fortune applied for a new, top secret, reality show. Twenty years after those dreams were shattered, we revisit them and find out how a show that didn’t ever exist, changed their lives forever.

Studio 666 (Netflix – 106 mins)

The Foo Fighters are one of those bands that we universally agree are pretty great, right? Even in the unlikelihood you don’t like any of their music, you probably agree that Dave Grohl seems to be one of the nicest men in music. That view will be cemented by this ramshackle yet enjoyable horror-ish film, as The Foos face off with demonic forces in a fight for their lives. A fun and immensely likeable romp.

A Murder At The End Of The World (Disney+ – 7 x 65 mins)

Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling‘s latest creation (the geniuses behind Netflix’s The OA, gone but never forgotten) follows Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), a Gen Z amateur sleuth, attempts to solve a murder at a secluded retreat. Also starring Marling, Harris Dickinson, Raúl Esparza and Clive Owen to name but a few – what starts of as feeling rather Knives Out becomes something far stranger and unsettling. Airing weekly, every Tuesday, the first two episodes are already up.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (Netflix- 8 x 60 mins)

Nearly 20 years since comic book writer-illustrator Bryan O’Malley brought Scott Pilgrim to the world, and13 years on from Edgar Wright’s film adaption, we return to his universe – in Netflix’s new animated series. This isn’t a remake, it’s a revitalisation with a touch of reimagining about our beloved dweeby Canadian bassist who meet-cutes his mysterious American dream girl, Ramona Flowers, only to discover that in order to date Ramona, he must first defeat her “seven evil exes” in a series of boss fights across the mean streets and concert halls of Toronto. With all of the live action cast returning as voice artists, to call this a treat would be an understatement.
