For two actors who have seemed almost inseparable since they burst onto the scene in Alfonso Cuarón’s “Y Tu Mamá También,” Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal actually haven’t acted together much. Sure, they recently went toe-to-toe with Bert and Ernie in a friendship quiz, but in terms of screen time, the duo has only appeared in three films together, counting ‘También’” ‘and the Will Ferrell curio “Casa de mi Padre.” Thus, Hulu’s first Spanish-language series, “La Máquina,” feels like something of a homecoming for the two stars.

Hulu is becoming one of the strongest streamers out there. That’s mainly because it’s the home of all FX shows, especially the ones created specifically for Hulu. While folks like Netflix and Prime Video are looking for high profile shows that are made for the widest audiences, FX on Hulu is bringing smaller, more prestige offerings, such as the new series “Say Nothing.”

Catfishing is not really new, and the term and the phenomenon—being tricked by someone online, usually posing as someone they are not— came  into parlance with the 2010 documentary “Catfishing.” But catfishing was still new around 2011—the year pop duo Tegan & Sara were caught in a long-term, still-running catfish scam. Directed and produced by Erin Lee Carr, the filmmaker behind the doc “Britney Vs.

It’s been a real minute since we heard from “Rivals,” Disney+’s series based on Jilly Cooper’s adaptation of the same name. An eight-part series “Rivals” dives into the ruthless world of independent television in 1986 — where it’s every man and woman for themselves. The series follows the world of English social elites and the fictional characters Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as they have a longstanding rivalry that spills over into mercilessness and comes to a head.

There have been plenty of documentaries about fashion designers in the past. Much like rock stars, fashion designers are creative types that always find themselves in interesting stories. And that’s especially the case for Diane von Furstenberg, who is the latest designer to the doc treatment.

It’s nutty to think just how fast FX’s dysfunctional kitchen drama “The Bear” ascended and how quickly it might just all end. Premiering on Hulu in the summer of 2022, “The Bear” literally seemingly came out of nowhere, wasn’t anticipated or known about, and wasn’t exactly heavily promoted in advance. But critics who got wind of it first knew immediately that the show sizzled with intensity and bruising emotional family baggage. By the end of the summer, when audiences finally had a chance to catch up and binge it all, the series became a bonafide word-of-mouth hit.

The acclaimed series centers on the collision of two ambitious men, an English sailor (Cosmo Jarvis), who is shipwrecked in Japan, and Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a shrewd, powerful Japanese feudal lord, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals.

It’s just so sad. A somber tone hangs over Hulu’s very good “Under the Bridge” like a weighted blanket, dragging everyone down into the Canadian ground. It’s a show about characters who carry trauma and are forced into a situation in which they have to watch people work through their own life-changing situations, too. It’s about those rash decisions that young people sometimes make that they can never get back. There have been attempts at true crime stories about the systemic problems in youth culture that often discards children that society deems unwanted, and there have been dozens of stories of bullying, but this one feels more empathetic than almost all the others.

After its incredible streaming success and complete and utter domination at the 2023 Emmy Awards this past January, it was no surprise that “The Bear” would eventually be renewed for a fourth season. A third season was confirmed last year, but most would have expected a fourth go-around to film in 2025. That’s not the case as, quietly, “The Bear” is shooting both seasons three and four consecutively.

Having sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling American rock bands, Bon Jovi rocketed to stardom in the late 1980s when 1986’s Slippery When Wet went super platinum and ushered in the era of hair metal bands that bridged pop and hard rock. But it was never an easy road, and they almost imploded during that time. They endured, but they’ve still struggled too. Much of that is documented in “Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story,” a four-part, all-access docuseries chronicling the epic past and uncertain future of one of the most recognizable bands in the world and its front-man, Jon Bon Jovi.
