Netflix’s ‘Little House on the Prairie’ reboot brings Laura Ingalls Wilder’s world back to television with a sincere, beautifully cast and emotionally generous first season starring Alice Halsey, Skywalker Hughes, Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald.
Disney’s live-action ‘Moana’ remake stars Catherine Laga’aia and Dwayne Johnson in a warm, colorful and heartfelt reimagining of the 2016 animated favorite, directed by Thomas Kail with songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
‘Silo’ Season 3 expands Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi drama beyond Silo 18, with Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette facing memory loss, political danger and a deeper conspiracy. The new season adds Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman in a gripping “Before Times” timeline that makes the mystery even stronger.
Larry David and Jeff Schaffer’s HBO sketch series ‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness’ turns American history into a series of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’-style complaints. Featuring Barack Obama, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, JB Smoove and Susie Essman, the seven-episode comedy is funny in bursts but too repetitive to fully work.
John Cena and Eric André star in Netflix’s ‘Little Brother,’ an R-rated odd-couple comedy about an uptight real estate broker reunited with the former mentee who upends his life. Despite a game cast including Michelle Monaghan and Christopher Meloni, the film feels recycled, predictable and short on real laughs.
FX and Hulu’s ‘The Bear’ ends with a stressful, funny and deeply moving final season that gives Carmy, Sydney, Richie and the kitchen a beautiful sendoff. Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are extraordinary as Christopher Storer closes the Emmy-winning series with grace, pressure and emotional release.
Milly Alcock brings punkish energy and emotional grit to Kara Zor-El in DC Studios’ ‘Supergirl,’ while Jason Momoa makes a scene-stealing debut as Lobo. But Craig Gillespie’s cosmic revenge saga struggles with sluggish pacing, generic action and a story that never fully matches its star’s potential.
Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 5’ puts Joan Cusack’s Jessie at the center of a heartfelt sequel about childhood, imagination and screen time. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return as Woody and Buzz, while Greta Lee, Conan O’Brien, Craig Robinson and Bad Bunny join a story that proves the franchise still has emotional life left.
‘House of the Dragon’ Season 3 brings HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel closer to the war, political tension and character complexity it has been building toward. Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith and Olivia Cooke lead a stronger, sharper season that remains crowded but finally delivers some of the show’s best episodes.
Olivia Wilde directs Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton in The Invite, a sharply written chamber comedy that dissects marriage, desire, and resentment with wit and emotional precision. Anchored by Rogen’s career-best performance, the Sundance premiere balances humor and discomfort with striking confidence.
Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson reunite in ‘Happy Hours,’ a Tribeca Festival romantic drama written and directed by Holmes. While the former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ co-stars still share easy chemistry, the film’s contrived misunderstandings, literary flourishes and overly curated New York romance keep it from feeling emotionally convincing.
Anya Taylor-Joy stars in Apple TV’s ‘Lucky,’ a seven-episode con-woman thriller from Jonathan Tropper with Timothy Olyphant, Annette Bening and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Despite a strong cast and stylish premise, the series struggles with tone, pacing and identity, never becoming the sharp crime drama it wants to be.
