Black Rabbit<\/p>\n

Netflix’s miniseries starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman is already a hit with viewers, sitting at number three on the UK streaming site (as of the time of writing). <\/p>\n

The drama stars Bateman and Law as brothers whose loyalty and love for one another brings about chaos of the most dangerous kind. <\/p>\n

Restaurant owner Jake Friedkin (Law) is at the height of his success, with his establishment on the brink of becoming New York’s hottest spot. That is until Vince (Bateman) resurfaces in his life, lifting the lid on old traumas, whilst also bringing new dangers that threaten, not only what Jake has built, but both of their lives too.<\/p>\n

Alien: Earth<\/p>\n

The year is 2120, two years before Ridley Scott’s original 1979 Alien movie, and a deep-space research vessel has crash landed on Earth, unleashing catastrophe on the planet. <\/p>\n

There is plenty of creepy gruesomeness on its way, befitting of the franchise, but be prepared to fall in love with Sydney Chandler who stars as Wendy, the first of a group of terminally sick children who, under some serious coercion and deception (courtesy of Samuel Blenkin’s Boy Kavalier and his corporation Prodigy) are persuaded to have their consciousness transferred into an artificial adult body. <\/p>\n

The children’s journey, and that of those aboard the research vessel, become quickly entangled, resulting in a compelling watch that has Alien: Earth currently trending number two on Disney+.<\/p>\n

The cleaning lady turned font of all knowledge will use her exceptional mind to help crack new and exciting cases in this whodunnit marvel.<\/p>\n

The Boys spin-off centres around a new generation of supes living and studying crime-fighting at Godolkin University, as they tussle it out for the opportunity to become one of The Seven. <\/p>\n

Season two follows on from the explosive events that ended season four of The Boys, which saw Homelander in the thick of his nefarious reign. It seems the new sadistic Dean of Godolkin, Cipher (Hamish Linklater), is ripping a page out of the same play book as he vows to make the students more powerful than ever. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile Marie (Jaz Sinclair), Jordan (London Thor\/Derek Luh), and Emma (Lizzie Broadway) may be back in class after a tortuous few months, but their ordeal is far from over…<\/p>\n

The recently-released Daniel treads a dangerous path that threatens everything, even his fragile relationship with his daughter Carly (Lara Peake). <\/p>\n

The drama, which also stars Bad Sisters’ Anne-Marie Duff and Code of Silence’s Rose Ayling-Ellis, uses a mix of BSL (British Sign Language) and spoken English to help deliver an exquisite series that should not be ignored. <\/p>\n
