Michael B. Jordan’s rise from TV newcomer to Hollywood A-lister showcases his talent and strategic career choices. From standout roles in The Wire and Friday Night Lights to leading major franchises and producing his work, Jordan has built a career marked by range, focus, and a commitment to telling impactful, inclusive stories. He is being lauded for his performance in the film Sinners, which is running at the cinemas. He is considered one of the most accomplished actors of the current generation, and he keeps reinventing himself.

Jordan is best known for his roles in the Creed franchise and Black Panther. He appears in a dual role in this 2025 original horror. In 2020 and 2023, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2020, he was titled the Sexiest Man Alive by People, and The New York Times included him on their list...

Long considered the gold standard of television, HBO continues to dominate the small screen with broadcast hits and streaming successes (via the platform Max). In the 2020s alone, it's produced a range of shows that mostly define what audiences expect from modern TV. Just as every crime drama has aspired to be "The Wire" or "The Sopranos" since the early 2000s, now every corporate thriller wants to be "Succession," every teen drama "Euphoria," and every fantasy "Game of Thrones." Of course, not every one of these aspiring shows can reach the high bar HBO has set -- and that includes its own series.

Indeed, HBO has developed its fair share of duds in the past. Sometimes, it seems as though they desired to repeat the success of previous triumphs like "Sex and the City" or "Veep"; others might have gotten too swept up in the ambitious vision of once-reliable artists...

HBO’s The Wire never won an Emmy, was only nominated twice in the writing categories and never received a single nod in any of the major categories including acting.

Seth Meyers wants Emmy voters not to make another mistake like that when it comes to Corrections, the digital shortform spinoff of his NBC talk show Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Corrections has been nominated three times in the Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series category, losing out to Carpool Karoake: The Series and Only Murders in the Building: One Killer Question and not even being nominated the year Meyers’ friend Tim Robinson won with I Think You Should Leave.

“It’s a f*cking lock. I know you’re not supposed to say this, but I think there’s a real risk for Emmy voters,” Meyers joked during his panel at Deadline’s Contenders TV Documentary, Unscripted & Variety.

Alexander SKARSGÅRD has always been drawn towards anarchy: disruptive characters who turn worlds upside down. Now, as he plays a rogue android in Murderbot, we meet him to discover what pushes his buttons

“Is there blood in my hair?”, asked Alexander Skarsgård’s Eric Northman, having just killed, dismembered and feasted upon some unlucky soul in HBO’s vampire saga True Blood. For many, the show was their first exposure to Skarsgård, who was starting as he meant to go on: anarchic, provocative, and unafraid to play characters with an unhealthy moral compass.

True Blood wasn’t *quite* the start. The son of Stellan Skarsgård, he acted in a few things as a child in Sweden before jacking it in, then appeared in 2001’s Zoolander, playing a model, Meekus, who gets blown up in a petrol station. After spending a few years in the Hollywood wilderness, Skarsgård finally broke through...

Hot on the heels of those awesome Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning posters, Lionsgate has debuted twelve kickass new character posters of their own for their upcoming actioner Ballerina, which stars Academy Award-nominee Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a young new Ruska Roma assassin that is out for blood as she attempts to avenge her fallen family.

Standing in her way, however, will be an entire horde of top-level killers, none bigger than the legendary Baba Yaga himself, John Wick (Keanu Reeves), who it seems will be tasked with dissuading her conquest or taking her out... permanently.

While you'll have to wait until June to find out what ultimately happens when the two square off, the film is easily one of this summer's most anticipated offerings as Ana de Armas tackles the most physically demanding role of her career - and her deadliest role since playing the fan-favorite...

It’s only a week into shooting Season 6 of his hit indie Christian TV series “The Chosen,” and Dallas Jenkins is already feeling the toll of his most demanding shoot yet.

After eight years developing and shooting 40 episodes that go deeper into the Gospel story, Jenkins has arrived at the most famous part of Jesus Christ’s tale: his crucifixion. It has been brought to life many times over the decades in films ranging from “Jesus Christ Superstar” to “The Passion of the Christ,” but doing it on a crowdfunded budget brings its own unique challenges.

“Our schedule is 20 days longer than it normally is, because we have so many night shoots. In the Gospel, there’s three hours of darkness that takes place when Jesus is on the cross,” Jenkins told TheWrap. “Our budget is bigger than ever, but not in a good way. We’ve had to go...

The latest confirmed casting in DC's upcoming Lanterns television series gives fans a good idea of who Hal Jordan and John Stewart will be fighting. The show is set to air on HBO in 2026.

Deadline confirmed that Paul Ben-Victor (The Wire) will have a recurring key role in Lanterns as Antaan, an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and taking vengeance on those who wronged his people. The character's description reads that he is "consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law" and is determined to "deliver justice on his own terms." The character seems highly likely to find conflict with the peace-keeping Hal Jordan (Kyler Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre).

Other previously announced cast members for Lanterns include Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Jason Ritter as Billy Macon, Kelly Macdonald as Sheriff Kerry, and Ulrich Thompsen as Sinestro among others. The series will follow the newly...

Haim recently kicked off a new album cycle with two singles, and now they’ve revealed the project’s title and release date.

They confirmed the news on Instagram, posting a clip culminating with the message, “I quit new haim album coming June 20th.”

The intro video featured numerous variations of the “I Quit” theme, including:

Creepy Duck Design created a new poster for Rosario, opening in limited theaters May 2 from Mucho Mas Releasing.

Emeraude Toubia (“Shadowhunters”) and David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil) star in the supernatural horror film.

Wall Street stockbroker Rosario Fuentes returns to her grandmother’s apartment after her sudden death. While sorting through her Grandmother’s belongings, Rosario uncovers a horrifying secret—a hidden chamber filled with occult artifacts tied to dark generational rituals.

As supernatural occurrences plague her, Rosario must confront her family’s buried secrets and face the truth about the sacrifices and choices they made.

Felipe Vargas (Milk Teeth) makes his feature directorial debut from a script by Alan Trezza, which explores the weight of generational secrets and the price we pay for the dreams we inherit.

Deadline reports that Paul Ben-Victor has joined the cast of HBO’s Lanterns for what will be a key recurring role as a mysterious extraterrestrial.

The actor will play Antaan, “an extraterrestrial devoted to exposing the truth and exacting vengeance against those who wronged his people. Consumed by a deep and unrelenting hatred for the law, he is determined to deliver justice on his own terms.” While the name is different, fans believe that the character is actually Atrocitus, a character who was forced to witness the death of his wife and children (as well as nearly every living being in his sector) after a rampage of rogue Manhunters. He becomes the leader of the Red Lantern Corps and swears vengeance against the Guardians of the Universe and all who serve them.

Accomplished character actor Paul Ben-Victor is joining the Dcu in the upcoming HBO seriesLanterns, and he might be secretly playing a fan-favorite DC villain. Lanterns is currently filming, aiming for a 2026 premiere date that will likely come before the release of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Even though Lanterns has been described as an Earth-bound mystery involving Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), that doesn't mean intergalactic threats won't find their way into the series.

Deadline reports that actor Paul Ben-Victor has signed on for a recurring role in the Dcu's Lanterns. Ben-Victor is best known for his roles on hit television shows like The Wire, Entourage, and Nobody Wants This, as well as a memorable role in the 2003 film Daredevil.

The Wire star will portray Antaan, an alien determined to get revenge and expose the truth regarding the enemies of his planet and his people. While it has been established that the character will have a purpose, more details regarding his motivations remain under wraps. Audiences will have to wait until Lanterns premieres on HBO to learn more about Antaan and what actually happened for him to be filled with hatred in his heart.

Lanterns will follow Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they are sent to Earth in order to uncover a dangerous conspiracy. Hal Jordan will be treated as a veteran after serving as a Green Lantern over the course of many years. He will be forced to work alongside Stewart,...

HBO is known for its legacy shows such as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, and Game of Thrones. The premium network is known for its quality storytelling and was instrumental in ushering in the Golden Age of TV at the turn of the millennium. The shows that were aired during this time transformed TV storytelling.

However, in the age of streaming, there are plenty of networks and streamers who have built on HBO’s legacy. The network also has a streaming platform of its own in Max, which has been giving some excellent work in the form of The White Lotus and The Last of Us.

However, there are a few shows that seem to have fallen under the radar for fans, which proves that HBO is still one of the big players in the game. Here are 8 underrated HBO shows that did not get the love they deserved when they first aired.

Apart from being People’s Sexiest Man Alive, Michael B. Jordan has established himself as a serious actor, a successful producer, and a director, too. Jordan has had a solid filmography so far, which has included small television parts to blockbuster hits, particularly in the last decade. He first came to everyone’s attention when he appeared as Wallace in HBO’s The Wire. He then became more popular with roles in shows like All My Children and Friday Night Lights.

However, his luck in movies shone when he started his partnership with Ryan Coogler. Their professional team-up is such that sometimes it feels like Jordan’s blockbusters depend on whether Coogler is involved or not. However, it doesn’t mean that the actor has failed with other directors. Here are some Michael B. Jordan movies that left their mark on the global box office.

1. Sinners (2025)

Michael B. Jordan and...

Killing off a well-liked character on a television series with a fiercely devoted fan base can obviously be quite perilous, especially when they don't know it's coming. It's a particularly fraught decision in the age of social media, when viewers can vent their fury as the unthinkable and (for some) unacceptable occurs. If you hadn't read George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones," you were almost certainly gobsmacked during the first season when Sean Bean's Ned Stark, the seeming protagonist of the series, was cruelly executed by that twerp Joffrey Lannister. Twitter caught fire that night, with irate newcomers to Martin's saga pledging to never watch another episode. If you had read Martin's novel, you were giddy with anticipation in knowing much, much worse was yet to come.

For any writer with a shred of integrity, death is always on the table. You go where the story needs to go.

Acclaimed director Ryan Coogler's vampire thriller, Sinners, keeps sinking its teeth into the film industry with strong early success, adding further credence to his successful partnership with long-time collaborator Michael B. Jordan. Having worked with Jordan for over a decade, Coogler admits he always saw him as a "real movie star" in the making.

Speaking with GQ, Coogler delved into how his creative partnership with Jordan started, with Sinners being their fifth collaboration. After Jordan established himself as a TV star in The Wire, All My Children and Friday Night Lights, Coogler thought the actor could seamlessly transition to movies, putting faith in his "incredible" talent.

"I think we got to work together at a very unique time in his career, because he was still doing television at the time and had just been in two movies that had wide releases," he said. "I felt that he really popped...

If you were an actor in the 2010s looking for job security, "The Walking Dead" was not the show for you. The series was famous for killing major characters in a way that makes rewatching the early seasons extra depressing. You'll be enjoying a season 1 scene with Andrea (Laurie Holden), Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn), Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), and Shane (Jon Bernthal), only to remember that not a single one of them made it past season 3. Some characters did manage to stick around for surprisingly long, like Carol (Melissa McBride) or Daryl (Norman Reedus), but most people on the show only stuck around for two or three seasons tops.

Case in point: Tyreese (Chad Coleman) was introduced midway through season 3 before being killed off halfway through season 5. Admittedly, though, casual fans didn't have much hope for Tyreese in particular, given the early seasons' suspicious tendency of killing off established Black characters...

Sinners Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack O’Connell, and Delroy Lindo.

Director: Ryan Coogler

Sinners Movie Review (Photo Credit – Instagram)

What’s Good: Autumn Durald Arkapaw’s cinematography is genuinely excellent, as is Ludwig Göransson’s score, which will remain super memorable.

What’s Bad: The writing tries and fails to be deep with racial and social conventions, and the structure and pacing are truly defective. The ending fades just too fast.

Loo Break: You can go to the loo anywhere in the first act, and you won’t be missing much as scenes draw out to the limit.

Watch or Not?: Watch only if you are a fan of the actors or the director, as the film could have been so much better.

Language: English (with subtitles).

George R.R. Martin could not accept his defeat after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling won at the 2001 Hugo Awards. His A Storm of Swords novel lost to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, both published in 2000. His fans were also upset about this, but no one was more bitter than the author himself.

Martin, who rose to fame for writing A Song of Ice and Fire series, has spoken about this in the past a couple of times. He could never let go of the fact that Rowling’s book was chosen over his work, but little did he know that this would happen twice with his two other novels.

Pulitzer Prize-winning filmmaker David Mamet comes out of a 10-year hibernation today with a trailer for his upcoming thriller Henry Johnson. The prison drama finds Shia Labeouf and Evan Jonigkeit turning up the heat inside a hostage situation.

Here’s the official synopsis for Henry Johnson courtesy of the project’s production company 1993:

Written and Directed by Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet, Henry Johnson follows the title character (Jonigkeit) as he navigates his search for a moral center, after an act of compassion upends his life. Looking to authority figures he encounters along the way — including his eventual cellmate, Gene (Labeouf) — Henry’s journey leads him down a road of manipulation and ethical uncertainty. The film is an exploration of power, justice and the consequences of letting others choose your path for you.

The HBO limited series "Band of Brothers" was the most expensive television miniseries at the time, recreating the American military unit Easy Company's European activities during World War II. Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the series provided an expansive and factually grounded account of American combat involvement in Western Europe during the war. Like Spielberg and Hanks' previous collaboration, the award-winning "Saving Private Ryan," "Band of Brothers" was praised for its stellar cast, realistic action, and expert attention towards historical authenticity. The series still sets the bar of quality for military shows, of any conflict, though there are a number of similar shows fans should check out next.

Apple TV+ has unveiled the first image from Smoke, the upcoming drama series starringTaron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett. The first two episodes of the gritty crime drama will premiere on June 27, with one episode following weekly every Friday until the show concludes in an epic finale on August 8. Inspired by true events, Smoke tells the story of a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator hot on the trail of two serial arsonists. The series is based on the acclaimed podcast Firebug, which was previously believed to be the title of the show until this latest announcement.

True this: Idris Elba, the man with the voice that could make even Darth Vader sound soft, stepping into the dark side of the Force. Well, Star Wars fans came this close to seeing Elba as the most feared villain in the galaxy. And honestly, had he suited up in that black armor, Star Wars would’ve still been just as legendary, but with a whole lot more swagger.

Elba’s career has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. From BBC roles in Crimewatch to turning heads in The Wire as the smooth-talking Stringer Bell, he’s built a name for himself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and commanding actors. But what if he had channeled all that charisma and raw power into the Star Wars franchise? Imagine Elba’s deep, velvety voice, not just narrating, but commanding the galaxy. That...

For the better part of the last two decades, Criminal Minds has entertained audiences with its gripping portrayal of criminal profiling, intense psychological drama, and compelling characters.

Not only did the series offer a deep dive into the world of crime and police procedures, but its emotional depth and complex storyline have often captivated viewers.

Even when the characters changed and the series underwent some major changes, throughout the years, the feel has remained the same. However, the show received a new lease of life when it was renewed and revived back in 2022. And according to longtime cast member Paget Brewster, the change has been very welcome.

One of the best things about the film industry is the unexpected collaborations between artists that occur from time to time. Recently, it is the pairing of Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan that has been taking the internet by storm.

Currently busy doing press for their upcoming period supernatural action thriller film, Sinners, their press and interview moments are just too adorable as they give off chaotic sibling energy. Recently, while on the Hot Ones, the duo yet again shared a hilarious moment in which the Hawkeye star called Jordan’s long-running TV show ‘awful.’

Apple TV+ was one of the latest giants in the business to make the shift to streaming and join the wars against Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+. The platform has been the home for some incredible shows. It features ongoing hits like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance, to cancelled projects like Time Bandits.

Earlier this year, Apple TV+ reported a loss of $1 billion in its streaming vertical (via Variety), but it still seems to be going strong in producing content.

In his past interview with The Times of London, the Silence actor spoke loud and clear about his support for marriage rights for same-sex couples. The actor also posed a question to all: How come anyone could be against love and compassion?

Andrew Garfield remarked, “Of course, I’m in favor of marriage equality. Same-sex couples should have the same rights as anybody else. There is no argument against equality. How can anyone argue against compassion and understanding?”

These aren’t just hits — they’re the kind of shows that rewrote the rules of television.

Max (or HBO before Max came into existence) has been the gold standard for TV for as long as I can remember. Even now, with more competition than ever and everyone fighting for attention, Max still finds a way to deliver some of the best shows ever made. Prestige dramas, dark comedies, mind-bending mysteries — you name it, they’ve got a version that probably set the bar. So, whether you’re jumping in for the first time or revisiting a favorite, here’s my list of the top 10 shows of all time on Max.

Top 10 all-time TV shows streaming on Max:

No. 10: ‘The White Lotus’

No. 9: ‘The Last of Us’

No. 8: ‘Band of Brothers’

No. 7: ‘Six Feet Under’

No. 6: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

No. 5: ‘True Detective’

No. 4: ‘Succession’

No.

TV is firmly in its reboot, revival, and reunion era. Shows such as Frasier and Sex and the City have been revisited, with varying degrees of success. Some of these exploits, like the newsmaking Fresh Prince reunion, have added valuable perspective to the original show.

But with all the nostalgia floating around Hollywood, it’s surprising that HBO’s The Wire, a prescient, innovative chronicle of urban blight in America, told through intersecting characters in Baltimore, hasn’t had a large-scale reunion. In the 23 years since the show’s debut,...

"Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm back!"

To close out their CinemaCon presentation today, Lionsgate officially announced John Wick: Chapter 5, which is now in active development at the studio, with both director Chad Stahelski and star Keanu Reeves set to return.

To date, the franchise has grossed over $1.028 billion at the global box office, with each installment grossing more than the last. The original John Wick earned $86 million worldwide, John Wick: Chapter 2 grossed $174.3 million, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum topped $328.3 million, and, most recently, John Wick: Chapter 4 collected $440.1 million worldwide.

A spinoff film, titled Ballerina is due out this summer, and two more John Wick films were announced earlier today: an anipated prequel film that will follow Baba Yaga as he completes The Impossible Task, and a Caine spinoff film that will follow Donnie Yen's character after the events of Chapter 4.

In a statement, Lionsgate Motion Picture...

"The dead are gone. Only the living matter. After my daughter was born, I wanted to leave this life. I thought I did."

Following up on the John Wick animated prequel news, Lionsgate also announced today that John Wick: Chapter 4 star Donnie Yen will direct and headline an upcoming spinoff film centered around his scene-stealing character Caine.

The untitled feature is expected to kickstart production in Hong Kong later this year, with a screenplay from The Batman Part II scribe Mattson Tomlin. Plot details remain under warps, but the new film will continue Caine's story arc following the events of Chapter 4, as he has been freed from his obligations to the High Table.

It will be stylistically modeled on the uniquely designed action films that Yen helped make famous, so fans of the action legend should be very, very excited.

The untitled animated feature will continue to deliver the highly stylized and defined action that fans of the franchise expect and will also be geared more toward adult audiences, meaning it will still carry an R-rating.

Isn’t it weird to think that, in some alternate universe, Jimmy McNulty had the potential to be Jake Peralta? On the iconic TV show The Wire, Detective Jimmy McNulty is a cop who will bend every rule just to prove he’s right. And belive it or not, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s very own Jake Peralta is essentially a comedic take on McNulty!

While McNulty is reckless, self-destructive, and constantly at odds with authority, Peralta is seen throughout the seasons channeling that same rebellious energy into something good and eventually evolving as a character. Here is a detailed look at how the character was created!

The Wire’s Jimmy McNulty | Credits: HBO Entertainment Jake Peralta’s origin story (his roots lie in The Wire!)

HBO’s The Wire might revolve around The Crown star Dominic West’s character, Detective James McNulty, and his team of investigators, but one cannot overlook the sheer dominance of Frankie Faison’s Ervin H. Burrell. Although he wasn’t your classic hero, Burrell sure knew how to play the dirty game of politics and master the art of beating the rigged system.

While others fought for justice, Ervin H. Burrell appeared to be fighting for survival. With the mayor breathing down his neck and city council members scheming constantly, he didn’t just follow the rules—he bent them. Burrell knew the game was rigged, but instead of whining about it, he played it like a pro. So, here’s a tribute to his bureaucratic manipulation.

Dominic West may now be known for his role in The Crown as Prince Charles of Wales, but he had his Hollywood breakthrough as Detective McNulty in The Wire. The HBO series is often considered to be one of the best TV shows of all time and stands along with stalwarts like The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad in the ‘golden age of TV’.

Despite all the appreciations it received, including recognition from former-President Barack Obama, The Wire never won an Emmy and was only nominated twice for Outstanding Writing for a TV Series – Drama. When asked which season of the show should have won the award, West cited season 4 as the clear winner.

Dominic West’s role as Detective Jimmy McNulty will go down in history as one of the greatest performances on TV.

It's no surprise when fans hear about the various ways The Sopranos changed television and ushered in a new cinematic approach to the medium. Before 1999, network television was the only format viewers were accustomed to, and with that format came specific rules that showrunners and producers had to adhere to. It's an interesting history when discussing the cinematic arts because cinema alone is already a fairly young medium, and television is even younger, with its greatest advancements coming as early as twenty-five years ago. There's a reason why, for decades, filmmakers and actors considered television to be a second-rate medium. Many stars were accustomed to avoiding TV because it essentially meant the end of their movie career. This is because television wasn't viewed as an artful medium in comparison to feature films.

While many great directors found ways to tell compelling stories on television throughout the New Hollywood movement, there's...

After dropping a short teaser last week, Warner Bros has launched the full-length official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's black comedy thriller One Battle After Another, which stars Academy Award-winner Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood; The Revenant; The Wolf of Wall Street) in the lead role and marks his first collaboration with Anderson.

The following contains major spoilers from Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 16, "Poster Child," which debuted Wednesday, March 26 on NBC. It also contains discussion of sexual content.

Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 16, "Poster Child" is a hard episode to get one's brain around. On one hand, the NBC show takes a plot that could be cringe-worthy and makes it so much stronger. On the other, it contains the most cringe-worthy subplot in the entire season -- possibly one of the most awkward in series history. It's a tale of two extremes.

"Poster Child" does give Sharon Goodwin more to do, as a patient whom she treated 22 years ago returns to the hospital. But elsewhere, Dr. John Frost is involved in two controversial storylines. One...

Even with great dramas like Succession and The Wire, The Sopranosremains one of the best TV drama shows of all time. From its iconic opening credits song to its deep examination of masculinity, culture and mental health – which TV rarely discussed openly in 1999 – The Sopranos redefined TV storytelling and character studies, inspiring later greats like Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

At the heart of The Sopranos is the concept of family and relationships, and the series puts its dynamic and deep characters into extraordinary situations. Whether it be mob boss family man Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) or Tony's erratic nephew Christoper Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli), The Sopranos has had some incredible episodes exploring its well-developed characters over its six-season run.

Banijay Entertainment’s three shows selected for Series Mania underscore just how far the film-tv’s giant has come in scripted, and most especially its vast range,

Apple TV+’s “Carême,” from Banijay’s Shine Fiction, opened the French TV festival, Europe’s largest, delivering a portrait of the world’s first celebrity chef, the Napoleonic-era Antonin Carême, as Variety reports, a “sex-oozing rock star.”

Playing Series Mania in International Panorama, “A Life’s Worth,” from Banijay Nordics’ Yellowbird, follows the challenges faced by the first Swedish U.N. battalion, made up of volunteers, sent to Bosnia in 1993.

Subject of a Series Mania Forum, “Weiss & Morales” allies two of Europe’s most energetic public broadcasters, Germany’s Zdf and Spain’s Rtve, and a German and Spanish cop cracking a case in the sun-sluiced Canary Islands, against Omg landscapes, a hallmark of its Spanish producer, Banijay-owned Portocabo.

We’re living in the golden age of geek TV, treated to an embarrassment of weekly riches dumped right onto our screens, delivering us new slices of the most treasured franchises we have, made with huge budgets. Some of us still remember the age of five TV channels — of taping Star Trek: The Next Generation off BBC 2 on Wednesday evenings and begging a friend with Sky to record Deep Space Nine and the new series of The X-Files for us, of feeling like a new Star Wars film was so far away as to feel non-existent, and of having literally one new episode of Doctor Who to make do with for an entire decade. When the only way to see proper, grown-up Anime was to stay up until 3am watching Channel 4. When Babylon 5 felt utterly tedious, but you watched it anyway because it had spaceships in it. When...

Top intelligence officials and Republicans are trying and failing to downplay the revelation that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President J.D. Vance, and others discussed secret plans to bomb Houthi militants in Yemen in an unsecured Signal chat group that featured Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, because someone on it accidentally invited him. Meanwhile, the internet is reveling in the fallout as if it were petty online high school drama.

Brought to life by David Simon and based on his book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, The Wire is one of the most critically acclaimed police procedural dramas of the modern era. However, before The Wire came to fruition, Simon was involved with a similar procedural based in Baltimore, Homicide: Life on the Street. Airing from 1993 to 1999, Homicide: Life on the Street was one of a few procedural dramas that gained notable popularity among critics and audiences, along with Law & Order and NYPD Blue. Early seasons featured a cast that included Yaphett Kotto, Andre Braugher, Melissa Leo, Ned Beatty, and Daniel Baldwin. Significantly, it would be the first appearance of John Munch, portrayed by Richard Belzer, who would go on to resurrect the character in Law and Order: Svu years later.

Homicide: Life on the Street utilized handheld cameras, which was common on shows like Cops and...
