We hardly watch traditional TV anymore. Streaming video services like Apple TV+ (try for free), Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video are more important than ever. But local providers such as Videoland, CineMember and Ziggo also have plenty to offer. More series are added every week and it is nice to know which series, films and documentaries really stand out. We have therefore made a selection.
New on Apple TV+: Black Bird
A new thrilling psychological thriller is on Apple TV+: Black Bird with Taron Egerton. The first two episodes are now streaming. Black Bird tells the story of a prisoner who tries to expose a serial killer. In addition to Egerton, we see Paul Walter Hauser, Sepideh Moafi, Greg Kinnear and Ray Liotta.
