Our favourite Wild West nightmare is back

Need some ideas for your next holiday? How about giant croc world, or a theme park full of rebel robots? Or you could enjoy it all from the safety of home…

NETFLIX Annihilation

‡e crocodiles are so huge in this sci-fi horror that even Steve Irwin would’ve been quaking in his Timberlands. Yet Natalie Portman and her crew of badass women have to explore a land full of these mutated beasts.

Lost in Space (S1)

If you’ve spent less than 50 years on this planet, you may be shocked to learn the original Lost in Space sci-fi series was more popular than Star Trek in its ’60s heyday. Spock must be worried about this Netflix revival, then.

The Alienist (S2)

We’re starting to think Netflix has an addiction to serial killer thrillers. Sure, this one’s set in 1896 and has Teddy Roosevelt as one of the characters, but it’s still all about murderers. And yet… we just can’t stop getting hooked.

AMAZON VIDEO The Florida Project

Walt Disney World may be all fun and sunshine smiles, but take a short drive away from it and you’ll soon find poverty. ‡is heartfelt drama delves deeper into the reality of life in the shadow of the Cinderella Castle.

Detroit

In between his galaxy-trotting adventures in Star Wars, John Boyega was busy recreating the horrific scenes of the 1967 Detroit race riots. In comparison, fighting stormtroopers must feel like a stroll on the beach.

The Loomin Tower (S1)

‡ere are more terrible conspiracy theories about 9/11 than there about the Game of rones ending. But this drama takes a chillingly accurate look at the events before the attack, putting the CIA and FBI under scrutiny.

NOW TV Wonder Woman

With Batman and Superman struggling to live up to the hype, DC decided to give its film empire a woman’s touch… and boy did it work out well. Maybe they could save Justice League by giving that an all-female cast?

Westworld (S2)

It’s been almost two years since the first episode of this epic HBO series, so we’re all mighty excited for more robot revelations and Wild West action – even if it will put us off theme parks for the rest of our lives. Sorry, Mickey.

The Terror (S1)

Come on an expedition, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Well, starvation, mutiny and cannibalism are not what we call fun. And to make matters worse for the crew in this new series, there’s an Arctic predator on the prowl.
