Jerod Ra'Del Hollyfield -

Heart Eyes (Netflix) When a serial killer who targets couples on Valentine’s Day moves to Seattle, two ad agency all-stars with striking chemistry must try to survive the night while breaking away from their Gen Z social awkwardness. It’s an utterly ingenious mashup of romcom and slasher that deserved Scream-level grosses upon its release in February.

MobLand (Paramount+)  British gangster flick legend Guy Ritchie moves to the small screen for this sprawling mafia epic that features Tom Hardy as a fixer for Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren’s crime dynasty. The closest to The Sopranos or The Wire that TV has seen in years. 

Wild Things (Criterion) Back in 1998, this erotic thriller about a guidance counselor (Matt Dillon) overcoming rape allegations was a hard “R” good time that showed off Neve Campbell and Denise Richards’s ingénue prowess. Now, it's proven itself an evergreen interrogation of media sensationalism and elite privilege as gutting as it is entertaining.
