Cross premiered Nov. 14 on Prime Video. The streamer’s new detective thriller is based on James Patterson’s best-selling series of novels about a Washington, D.C. detective/forensic psychologist. Aldis Hodge stars in the title role in the fast-paced, twisty series.

Over the show’s eight episodes, Alex Cross faced personal and professional challenges as he attempted to untangle a series of baffling crimes, several of which hit uncomfortably close to home. First, there was a series of disturbing crimes committed by a murderer determined to pay homage to some of history’s most notorious serial killers. At the same time, Cross was also coping with the seemingly random murder of Maria, his wife and the mother of two children. But it eventually emerged that someone was specifically targeting Cross and his family. That person’s identity was revealed in the finale, and to say it was a shock would be an understatement.

Henry Winkler and Lena Headey have joined Bob Odenkirk in the upcoming action movie “Normal,” from the producing team behind the 2021 hit “Nobody.”

In “Normal,” Odenkirk plays Ulysses, who is appointed substitute sheriff in the tiny Minnesota town of Normal, populated by friendly Midwesterners. When the local bank is sacked, Ulysses “unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive than a simple bank robbery,” per the logline.

Winkler, star of “Happy Days” and “Barry,” will play the mayor of Normal, while “Game of Thrones” and “300” favorite Headey is the local bartender, Moira.

“Normal” is directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay written by “John Wick” creator Derek Kolstad, who shares a story credit with Odenkirk. Producers are Marc Provissiero (“Nobody,” “No Hard Feelings”), Odenkirk and Kolstad, who all recently wrapped “Nobody 2.”

Principal photography on “Normal” began Oct. 21 and will continue in Winnipeg, Canada, through December. Rounding out the cast are Ryan Allen,...

"The whole town's acting bizarre!" Uncork'd Ent. has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror thriller film called The Devil Comes at Night, which is yet another "devil" horror title along with I Saw the Devil, Along Came the Devil, Shame the Devil, Prey for the Devil, May the Devil Take You, etc. This premiered last year and will be out on VOD directly in June to watch, heading straight-to-video this summer. A washed up boxer named Ben searching for his inheritance must fight for his own life when he's trapped in his deceased father's farmhouse by a local cannibal cult. So now they're just taking overused tropes from different genres and mashing them up! The Devil Comes at Night stars Ryan Allen, Adrienne Kress, Jason Martorino, Elias Zarou, Shawn Ahmed, Todd Campbell, and Dana Fradkin. This looks as terrible as they come, it makes sense they're dumping this one on video right away.

“When they were teenagers, Iris (Balaban) and Alex (Hawco) went to see the sexy French New Wave classic ‘Breathless’ and fell in love. But life had other plans. Twenty years later, Iris is married to workaholic doctor Geoff (Allen), stressed out by motherhood and caring for her dying,...

Stars: Ryan Allen, Adrienne Kress, Jason Martorino, Elias Zarou, Shawn Ahmed, Todd Campbell, Dana Fradkin, Dl MacDonald | Written by Scott Leaver, Ryan Allen, Adrienne Kress | Directed by Scott Leaver

Making his feature debut, co-writer/director Scott Leaver opens with the sight of an empty house. One wonders about this location’s importance as the camera glides through, although that unanswered question is put aside as the focus shifts to a barely conscious man (Ryan Allen) being brought inside. He awakens in the darkness, wondering where his friend has gone before discovering an ominous note warning him to keep the lights off and stay hidden.

As nosy neighbours arrive with beer, the man introduces himself as Ben. To satisfy the neighbours’ curiosity, he shares how the property was owned by his recently deceased father and he intends to sort out some things. What he omits is his real intentions to find an inheritance,...

Mark takes a look at new six-part Netflix original sci-fi drama, Between, and finds it lacking in nuance...

This review contains spoilers.

1.1 School's Out

I agreed to review Between for two reasons; Daredevil was rather good, and at only six episodes long, I could handle the tedium if it wasn’t.

After watching the first episode, I can say with some certainty that this isn’t anything crafted remotely like Daredevil, and it harks back to an era of network TV that I’d thought we’d left behind long ago.

It starts with a rather dire future where almost half of Pretty Lake’s population is dead, and then rewinds to ten days before to explain how this happened. It doesn’t present any plausible explanation of the deaths, instead filling its time parading a series of increasingly uninteresting and loathsome characters who we’re supposed to identify with before Between is done.

One episode was provided for reviewing purposes prior to broadcast.

Between is the most un-Netflix show that the streaming service has ever aired, and it seems to want audiences to know that. Instead of following the company’s traditional model of releasing every episode at once, this Canadian import (airing there on City and Shomi) is rolling out one episode a week, in a strategy that’s sure to infuriate subscribers of all ages who have grown accustomed to binge-watching. Upon watching the pilot (the only episode made available for review), however, it becomes clear why Netflix is diverging from its attention-getting tactics for this series – the streaming service is hoping to sweep it under the rug as quietly as possible.

Aimed squarely at the teen demographic responsible for keeping The 100 and Teen Wolf on the air, Between feels much more like the kind of show that would be...

Netflix has released a creepy new trailer for its upcoming Michael McGowan series Between. The Canadian thriller stars iCarly‘s Jennette McCurdy as one of a group left behind by a mysterious plague that has killed everyone over the age of 21 in the tiny town of Pretty Lake. The youth are quarantined by the government and forced to redefine their society in order to survive.

The cast also includes Jesse Carere, Ryan Allen, Justin Kelly, Krystal Nausbaum, Brooke Palsson, Shailyn Pierre Dixon, Kyle Mac, Jim Watson, Wesley Morgan, Michael Reventar, Jordan Todosey, Sarah Podemski, Jack Murray, and Shailene Garnett. The show is produced by Don Caromdy Television and Mulmur Feed Co. in association with Elevation Pictures Corp.

Breaking its pattern of releasing an entire series at once, Netflix will dole out Between‘s six one-hour episodes weekly beginning at 11:30 p.m. Et on May 21. In Canada, the show will premiere on May 21 at 8 p.

Among the slew of new shows Netflix will be airing this season is the Canadian drama Between. The streaming service has now announced that the series will be premiering on Thursday, May 21. However, the most notable aspect of this series is that, unlike Netflix’s other offerings, the service will be releasing new episodes of the show’s 6-episode first season on a weekly basis. As part of the agreement under which Netflix bought the broadcast rights to the show, which is a three-way deal that involves Rogers in Canada as well as the Canadian streaming service Shomi, the episodes will make their premiere on Canada’s CityTV, which has first window right, on Thursday nights at 8 pm Est, with Netflix releasing the episodes on its services worldwide an hour later at 9 pm Est.

The strategy is a noted departure from Netflix’s prior model of releasing shows, as the...
