The big three — don’t miss these
APRIL 16 · DRAMA · NETFLIX ORIGINAL
Beef Season 2
Lee Sung Jin’s Emmy-sweeping anthology drama is back, and it’s gone bigger in every way. Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan play married managers at an upscale country club whose very public blowout is witnessed by two younger employees — played by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. What follows is a vicious, class-fuelled power struggle to win the favour of the club’s billionaire owner, portrayed by the legendary Youn Yuh-jung. If you loved the suffocating tension and savagely dark humour of season one, this is unmissable.→ More OTT picks on TechnoSports
APRIL 17 · DOCUMENTARY · NETFLIX ORIGINAL
A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough
Sir David Attenborough narrates one of his most personal nature documentaries yet, revisiting the gorilla — one of our closest living relatives — with state-of-the-art cinematography and unprecedented access to their complex social lives. The film explores conservation efforts surrounding these magnificent and vulnerable primates. Perfect weekend viewing for the whole family.
APRIL 19 · HORROR
Him (2025)
From Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, Him stars Marlon Wayans as a rising NFL quarterback who suffers a career-threatening injury and finds himself training at the isolated compound of his idol — an eight-time championship legend. But the mentorship quickly curdles into something sinister. A chilling meditation on fame, idolatry, and the dark cost of greatness. Critics were mixed, but horror fans will want to judge for themselves.
