If you’re looking for something to break your doomscrolling cycle, here’s your cue to put the phone down and pick up the remote. This month’s watchlist isn’t filled with shows and films that pull you in and refuse to let go. Twists, secrets, and the occasional existential crisis included. With everything from sharp thrillers to twisted dramas, this lineup guarantees the kind of storytelling you can’t look away from.
ALL HER FAULT
A mother’s quick school run spirals into her worst nightmare when she discovers her son is missing and the woman at the door claims to have never seen him. What begins as a frantic search quickly exposes hidden fractures in her family and friendships. As alliances form and secrets unravel, the tension builds toward a heart-thumping finale that reminds you how easily the familiar can turn terrifying.
PLURIBUS
From Vince Gilligan, the mind behind Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, comes a show that flips happiness on its head. When a mysterious virus infects the world, leaving everyone blissfully optimistic, one woman remains immune — and miserable. Rhea Seehorn’s character Carol becomes the last skeptic in a utopia that feels anything but safe. It’s dark, funny, and unnervingly relevant, exploring whether too much joy can be its own kind of nightmare.
DOWN CEMETERY ROAD
A quiet suburb explodes — literally — when a house goes up in flames, and a child vanishes in the chaos. A concerned neighbor and a private investigator join forces, uncovering a conspiracy that stretches far beyond their sleepy street. What starts as a small-town mystery morphs into a full-blown thriller laced with military secrets and moral gray zones.
FRANKENSTEIN
Guillermo del Toro reimagines Mary Shelley’s classic tale with an operatic intensity that’s both tragic and intoxicating. Starring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Jacob Elordi, this adaptation explores creation, obsession, and what it means to be human. It’s sensual, brooding, and utterly unforgettable. Expect haunting visuals and performances that stay with you long after the credits roll.
ANNIVERSARY
A simple family dinner unravels into psychological warfare when a couple meets their son’s new girlfriend — a firebrand tied to a controversial movement. Secrets spill, loyalties shift, and what starts as a polite conversation turns into a reckoning of identity, politics, and truth. Every word feels like a weapon, and by dessert, nothing is the same.
THE ASSET
A young agent goes undercover to befriend a smuggler’s wife, but her mission quickly spirals into dangerous emotional territory. As loyalties blur and lies become survival, the tension builds toward a point of no return. Stylish, suspenseful, and satisfyingly unpredictable, The Asset is a must-watch.
THE BEAST IN ME
Claire Danes stars in this mini-series as a reclusive writer haunted by loss. Her isolation shatters when a mysterious new neighbor, played by Matthew Rhys, moves in, and rumors swirl that he may have murdered his wife. Curiosity becomes obsession as Aggie turns her neighbor into her next subject, blurring the line between writer and detective. It’s slow-burning tension at its finest, with an undercurrent of grief that cuts deep.
