Cork’s deadliest duo are back for a fifth outing, reunited after a stretch apart. It doesn’t take long before Conor and Jock slip into old habits with predictably chaotic results. The show knows its strengths by now: fast-paced comedy, intoxicating chemistry, plenty of heart.
: The final season of The Boys arrives with Homelander’s foot firmly on the throat of the free world. His power has never been greater, and the Boys are running out of time and options. Expect destruction.

Nearly 20 years to the day since its final episode aired, Malcolm returns facing many of the same family dynamics from a different angle.

They’re not high-schoolers anymore — were they ever? Euphoria returns with its long-awaited third season, continuing Rue’s tumultuous journey as she navigates addiction, relationships and an uncertain future.
: Take a closer look at the growing scientific push to extend human life. Through in-depth interviews with leading researchers, Young Forever explores the possibilities and ethical questions tied to slowing the aging process.
: The show’s first season was a subversive hit, so it’s no surprise Netflix have given the green light to a second. Beef returns with a new story and a new set of characters — led by Oscar Isaac and Carrie Mulligan — but the core idea remains familiar: a personal conflict that spirals well beyond its starting point. Must watch television.
