‘The Price of Confession’ (2025)

She ends up in prison, where she meets this really intriguing woman named Mo-eun. They team up, and I have no idea if it’s going to lead them to freedom or something much worse! It’s a super intense psychological thriller with a really complicated story, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

The show combines the warmth of Christmas with classic Italian slapstick for a truly special and funny experience.

‘The Abandons’ (2025)

Okay, so I just finished watching this new series, and wow, it’s intense. Kurt Sutter, known for his really raw and realistic storytelling, has transported us to 1850s Oregon, and it’s not a pretty sight. Lena Headey, who you probably know from Game of Thrones, is fantastic as Fiona Nolan, a woman fiercely protecting her unconventional family. She clashes with Constance Van Ness, played by Gillian Anderson, a wealthy and equally strong-willed woman. Their rivalry? It’s a full-blown, bloody battle over land and control, and it quickly escalates to the point where everything they’ve created is at risk. If you’re looking for a show with serious tension and brutal, unforgiving action set on the wild frontier, this is definitely one to check out.

A popular dating experiment arrives in Italy to explore if a strong emotional bond can be more important than physical attraction. Singles will try to find love and even get engaged – all without ever laying eyes on each other, communicating only through ‘pods’. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Italian culture and close-knit families, the show follows these couples as they plan their weddings and ultimately face the challenges of real life to see if their connections will last.
