It\u2019s nice to see you\u2019ve chosen to leave the liminal space of streaming services, where endless scrolling holds you captive because you can\u2019t decide what to watch. Let us be the salve. This weekend sees the release of Backrooms, a new A24 film from a 20-year-old director. It\u2019ll seemingly follow Obsession<\/a> as another low-budget horror to reach box-office heights. But if eerie horror isn\u2019t your vibe, there are plenty other options.<\/p>\n

From a 4chan thread, to YouTube, to the big screen, Backrooms is here. Director-writer Kane Parsons was inspired by the creepypasta image of a dim and fluorescently lit yellow room to craft this horror. He enlisted Chiwetel Ejiofor as a furniture-store owner who stumbles into an endless hidden liminal space of hallways and rooms and manically tries to convince his therapist (Renate Reinsve) of its existence.<\/p>\n

Over five seasons, For All Mankind has been one of the smartest, most thrilling series on TV, presenting an alternate history in which the Soviets made it to the moon first. This show runs it back, telling the same story from their perspective. It\u2019s more of a paranoid spy thriller with the cosmonauts surveilled by their intelligence agency and accused of leaking information to the Americans. Rhys Ifans leads an ensemble cast. \u2014 Roxana Hadadi\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the wacky series\u2019 first season<\/a>, Pakistani American brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh) inherited a secret drug empire when their father died. In the second, they need somewhere to launder all their money, which brings them into casino owner Max Sugar\u2019s (Fred Armisen) inner circle. \u2014R.H.<\/p>\n

Sometimes all a series needs is to take its famous actors on vacation. In the second season of Tina Fey\u2019s comedy, Fey, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo reunite to honor their recently deceased friend Nick (Steve Carell) alongside his ex-wife (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and his pregnant girlfriend (Erika Henningsen).<\/p>\n

Brat summer was a moment, but The Moment is Charli XCX\u2019s attempt to skewer, examine, and completely flip that era of her life into something for the big screen. Presented as a documentary \u2014 her music-video collaborator Aidan Zamiri directs \u2014 this drama finds Charli right before she launches her Brat arena tour and is beholden to the label\u2019s demands, like employing the eccentric and overbearing director Johannes (Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd) to director her concert film.<\/p>\n
