The Girlfriend, Season One
Laura isn’t just a protective mother – she’s a woman on edge when her son brings home Cherry, a girlfriend with secrets lurking behind her polished smile. Olivia Cooke plays Cherry with just the right amount of charm and menace, making their psychological chess match a gripping watch. The show shifts in perspective to keep viewers constantly second-guessing loyalties. Sometimes it veers towards melodrama, but beneath the glossy surface lies a sharp exploration of class, ambition, and maternal obsession. Twisty, slippery, and wickedly fun, The Girlfriend can be watched on Prime Video.
Black Rabbit, Limited Series
Black Rabbit is a tale of brotherly love gone sour. Jude Law plays Jake, and Jason Bateman plays Vince, who both stagger through debt, drugs, and gangsters. However, there is a lack of depth between them that holds you back from being fully invested. The moody nightclub setting and indie soundtrack promise atmosphere, yet the show sinks under messy subplots. Towards the end, the pace finally quickens, and the brothers’ relationship becomes a little more believable, but unfortunately, the previous episodes let it down. Available on Netflix.
