This mission leads Hub on a journey of self-discovery as he learns what sins initially condemned him to Hell. With the help of his estranged family, Hub fights a myriad of demons, including the Church’s pastor, with knives, guns, and chainsaws.

BLACK MIRROR

Charlie Brooker’s dark, dystopian anthology series returns for its seventh season that will follow six new electrifying stories. Starring Awkwafina, Paul Giamatti, Issa Rae and Emma Corrin, this season will take a disturbing turn in a new sci-fi world that follows the season 4 episode, USS Callister.

Fans of the franchise will recognise Will Poulter’s cynical and rebellious character, Colin Ritman, from Netflix’s Bandersnatch that released in 2018 as he makes a shocking return in Season Seven. As is common in a Black Mirror episode, the lines of fantasy and reality blur as we uncover the harms of developing technology in this new season.

Maybe this time, Joe can finally live out his happily ever after – with no murder involved.

When Hampton Chambers returns from prison, his homecoming is not your typical, heart-warming family reunion. During his incarceration, Hampton’s wife, Astoria, and two sons, Einstein and Harrison, have formed an unconventional, annoyingly optimistic yet endearing family. As Hamption tries to make amends and steer his life in a better direction, his past debts and criminal history pop its head up in oddly unique and entertaining ways.
