Whether you're a fan of crime procedurals or feel-good LGBTQ+ stories, these seven picks deliver top-tier entertainment. Here’s our curated guide to what you shouldn’t miss.
Furious: A Dark Detective Thriller with a Twist
Furious, created by Elizabeth Meriwether (New Girl, Dying for Sex), reimagines the classic serial killer detective story. Both the killer and the FBI agent are women shaped by domestic violence, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. Lola Petticrew’s killer channels Villanelle’s deadpan brutality, while Emmy Rossum’s Agent Alice Black is a raw nerve of self-destruction. The collision course they’re on keeps viewers guessing about what justice truly looks like. Available on Disney+ from Monday, 27 July.
