What I really love about science fiction is how it can play with the idea of perception. If perception is reality, what happens when you can’t trust your own perception? This very question has been explored by more genres than just sci-fi, but I find that it works best for me in a universe where technology is as unknowable as the mind. There are quite a few sci-fi shows that deal with this concept, and a lot of them have handled it brilliantly. Look at how popular a series like Severance has become, which is arguably one of the most…

As the nights close in and the mercury drops, we’re all about snuggling down on the sofa with a cup of something hot, a plate of sweet treats and a good movie or TV show. And so that you can do likewise, we’re sharing our picks of the best current and upcoming November 2025 streaming content with you. All of the movies and TV shows below are available to stream on UK streaming services, ranging from tense geopolitical thrillers and creepy small-town chillers to neon-lit gambling dramas and stylish, sexy reimaginings of classic theatre. And we can’t forget the brand-new…

Last year, Hollywood finally got around to adapting Wicked, which has been delighting fans of musical theater on stage for over two decades. Director Jon Chu took the surprising step of splitting the show in two; the first Wicked movie covered the first act, and Wicked: For Good will bring the story home when it drops in theaters later this month. That’s a risky move, because the second act doesn’t stand up to the first. It’s not that bad—it’s not like one of these beloved TV shows that ends in a way everyone hates—but fans widely agree the second half…

We now know that large language models can act as personalized tutors, delivering natural, context-rich conversations and instant feedback. One way I am trying this out is by learning a language like Spanish. Textbooks can be dull, and I am not a huge fan of Duolingo. My Kindle became a platform for language learning. Now, I am trying a more structured approach, side by side, using ChatGPT prompts. You too can start talking to ChatGPT in the right way. Start by setting your level (for example, [Beginner]) and providing context. Then, transform vague chats into focused study sessions. Learn common…

Move quickly, and you can grab the opportunity to watch the first five minutes of Stranger Things Season 5 before anyone else. Well, anyone who doesn’t remember to sign up to Netflix’s ultra-sneak preview before the timer hits zero or isn’t walking on the red carpet that night. Netflix is giving a super-sneak preview of Stranger Things Season 5 Be among the first to revisit Hawkins Clocks were a big part of Stranger Things Season 4. Antagonist Vecna frequently showed his victims images of clocks as he tortured their minds before death, and there are strong allusions to time in…

Once upon a time, HBO created a show called Game of Thrones. And even though it joined the ranks of beloved shows with endings everyone hated, it was so popular that a bunch of other networks tried to make their own high fantasy epics. HBO readied a Game of Thrones prequel series called House of the Dragon, Netflix picked up The Witcher, and Amazon Prime Video sunk money into two series: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Wheel of Time. The high fantasy war had begun! Several years in, it’s pretty much over. The Witcher…

Can you believe it? 2025 is already nearing its end. It’s a year that has seen the release of some huge movies, including Sinners, 28 Years Later and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. But it’s not over yet: film fans still have plenty to look forward to before New Year’s Eve rolls around, as well as beyond into 2026. There’s a slate of new sequels and fresh adaptations ready to roll on film both at movie theatres and on home streaming services, as well as some entirely original stuff for movie lovers to sink their teeth into. From alien…

As the most beloved of Nintendo’s franchises after Mario, it’s long been a running joke that The Legend of Zelda is a series where you don’t actually play as the titular character. You could say Nintendo has form in this area, with the company’s first gaming hit – Donkey Kong – named after its antagonist. But that’s at least more interesting than being named after a character you’re just out to rescue. Named after Zelda Fitzgerald, the princess of Hyrule has more elegance and narrative depth over the course of the series’ near-four decades than the Mushroom Kingdom’s Princess Peach…

When Sony first introduced its InZone range of gaming gear, you couldn’t accuse it of aiming low. The PlayStation creator’s monitors and headsets were out to take on the established names, with prices to match. The line-up expanded earlier this year in the same vein, with mice, keyboards and this: a mouse mat that’ll set you back almost three figures. That’s right, the InZone Mat-F costs a whopping £89 in the UK. Is it especially whizz-bang for that kind of cash? Not particularly. The 480x400mm mat isn’t especially huge, is made from fabric rather than anything exotic like glass or…

We’re living in a golden age of entertainment, yet somehow, finding what to watch has turned into one of the week’s most annoying tasks. With so many streaming services overflowing with content, having no specific title in mind often means you end up lost in a sea of thumbnails, scrolling until your snacks run out. That “decision fatigue” people talk about is very real, and it’s quietly killing the fun of watching TV. So I decided to call for backup and hand over the tough choices to a neutral party: Reelgood Roulette. It’s a free streaming aggregator that pulls together…
