What We’ve Been Watching
This week, Darryl takes us on a tour of cold, mysterious settings and high-intensity stories:

Glass Dome (Netflix): A chilling new Scandi-noir miniseries set in Sweden. Full of secrets, suspicion, and dark pasts, it’s perfect for fans of The Bridge and The Killing.
-
North of North (Netflix): A heartfelt comedy-drama following a young Inuk woman reclaiming her independence in a tiny Arctic community. A hidden gem with a brilliant cast including Anna Lambe (True Detective: Night Country).
-
Until Dawn (Cinema): Darryl hits the big screen to check out this horror video game adaptation. Expect multiple horror genres colliding and clever Easter eggs for fans of the original PS4 game.
-
Sinners (Cinema): Darryl also braves the blockbuster Sinners, praising its outstanding use of sound design, impressive cast (Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell), and Ryan Coogler’s sharp direction.
-
Fight or Flight (Sky/Now): If you love chaos, this is for you! Josh Hartnett leads a frenetic, violent, and hilarious action movie that cranks the madness up to 110%.
