This week’s streaming premieres bring a Bollywood-inspired action romp, a moving mother-son drama, and an important battle to save the Mushroom Kingdom. The latter is one of the highest-grossing movies ever made, and now you — I mean, uh, your kids — can watch it over and over again. But first, check out a Sundance indie that will have you hooting and hollering.

This week’s contender to watch: “Polite Society”

After a promising Sundance premiere, “Polite Society” opened to strong reviews and decent grosses for an indie without many well-known names. It’s part wedding comedy, part Tarantino, part “Kung Fu Hustle,” and part “Ocean’s Eleven.” Priya Kansara, best known as Miss Eaton on “Bridgerton,” stars as an aspiring martial-arts stuntwoman who will gladly break out the kung fu if it means stopping her sister (Rita Arya of “The Umbrella Academy”) from going through with her ill-advised marriage. “Polite Society,...

Netflix has received a notable addition to its service.

Among the wide range of original titles on the streaming platform this month is a licensed acquisition that users have been waiting more than a year for.

Typically on Netflix, the most recent season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been added between January and March.

However, the eighth and final season of the sitcom, which aired in the US in 2021, never arrived in 2022.

This was most likely due to the fact that the show’s network, NBC, had exclusive rights to feature the series on its specialised streaming service, Peacock.

Fortunately, enough time has passed for the 10-episode final season to be added to Netflix. It arrived on Thursday (20 April)

When the Writers Guild of America announced their 2023 nominations, the Episodic Drama category featured installments from juggernaut contenders “Better Call Saul” and “Ozark” and breakout series “Bad Sisters” and “Severance.” It also featured one surprise — and absolutely inspired — entry: the series finale of Paramount+’s “The Good Fight.” Written by series co-creators Michelle King and Robert King, the episode is the first of this critically-acclaimed legal drama and political satire to earn a nomination from the guild. Could that unexpected bid signal another surprise nomination at the upcoming Emmy Awards?

Both the WGA and the Emmys have certainly shown their appreciation for the Kings before for “The Good Wife,” the predecessor series to “The Good Fight.” At the Emmys, they earned their first Drama Writing nomination for the pilot back in 2010 and a bookend bid for the series finale “End” in 2016. The latter nomination was certainly unexpected: even though the...

Exclusive: NCIS: Los Angeles alum Barrett Foa has been tapped for a recurring role opposite Uzo Aduba in Netflix’s Shondaland murder-mystery drama The Residence, from writer Paul William Davies.

Using Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House as a jumping off point, the eight-episode series is described as “a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and back stairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.” Its premise: 132 rooms. 157 suspects. One dead body. One wildly eccentric detective (Aduba). One disastrous State Dinner.

Foa will play Elliot Morgan, “the first gentleman” of the White House. He knows nothing about the social culture of Washington or the expectations of his role in the White House.

Cast also includes Randall Park, Andre Braugher, Susan Kelechi Watson, Ken Marino, Jason Lee, Bronson Pinchot, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Edwina Findley,...

The Brooklyn 99 cast is full of great actors, both established stars and promising up-and-coming talent, playing a wide array of delightfully wacky characters populating the eponymous NYPD precinct. Each episode of Brooklyn 99’s eight seasons is shot and structured like a classical police procedural, with its detectives tackling a different case, but with an absurdist sense of humor. From the deadpan captain to the yogurt-loving sergeant to the immature detective to the pair of wildly incompetent veteran cops, the titular precinct in Brooklyn 99 is full of hilarious comedic personalities.

Throughout its entire run, Brooklyn 99 was a hit with critics and audiences alike. A huge part of the show’s appeal was the palpable on-screen chemistry shared by its cast. The Brooklyn 99 cast was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2014, but lost to the...

In the penultimate season of “The Good Fight,” series costar Delroy Lindo bid farewell to his savvy and charismatic character Adrian Boseman. For the final season of the Paramount+ show, which aired its series finale on Nov. 10, creators Robert King and Michelle King introduced the equally compelling Andre Braugher to the ensemble in the role of Ri’Chard Lane, a walking brand of a lawyer and a Machiavellian character who complicates the leadership dynamics between Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and named partner Liz Reddick (Audra McDonald). Could the celebrated award-winning actor, who delivered a bravura turn as the scene-stealing Ri’Chard, help the overlooked show finally break through at the Emmy Awards?

Much like his co-star Baranski, Braugher has been an Emmy nominations magnet with 11 to date, attracting acclaim and recognition for his work across genres throughout his career.

Brooklyn 99 can still continue via a new spin-off that will follow a particular character — Captain Raymond Holt. A couple of years since Fox's original cancelation of the cop-centric sitcom, NBC also pulled the plug on the project, resulting in its official ending in 2021. Since the show's end was pre-planned, Brooklyn 99's producers and writers were able to craft a perfect send-off to 99tth Precinct as many of its members go through life changes which marked the end of an era for the squad. Despite this, however, the comedy could still move forward, but this time, through a prequel story.

It has been just a couple of years since Brooklyn 99 ended after season 8, but the show remains relevant as ever. Aside from a devoted fan base that includes some high-profile actors such as Mark Hamill and Lin Manuel Miranda, its popularity endured thanks to its availability on streaming platforms,...

Editor’s Note: This post contains spoilers for…well, a lot of things. But mainly for “Abbott Elementary” Season 2.

Is there anything as satisfying as the inevitable kiss in a slow-burn TV romance? It’s a tough feeling to beat, based on the trope’s popularity from the days of Sam and Diane on “Cheers” up until more recent television comedies (spoilers ahead). Watching two characters kiss after episodes or years of romantic and sexual tension feels like cause for celebration — even if their storylines are so tangled that they may not find that coveted happy ending just yet.

“Abbott Elementary” joined the list this week (finally) with “Teacher Conference,” the 16th episode of Season 2, written by Quinta Brunson. The episode features a much-anticipated kiss between Janine and Gregory that delighted viewers and will undoubtedly complicate its characters’ lives, like all great TV kisses do.

To celebrate this latest will-they...

Comedian and actor Richard Belzer, who sadly died on Sunday at age 78, played detective John Munch on several series, including “Homicide: Life on the Street” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” And on every single one of them, he had something wise and witty to say.

The character of John Munch was created on the underrated ’90s police drama “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Munch was known for his one-liners, metaphysical riffs and sprawling conspiracy theories while solving murders in Baltimore alongside detectives played by Andre Braugher, Daniel Baldwin and Ned Beatty. As he mused in one episode: “If a murder is committed in Baltimore and no homicide detective takes the call, did that homicide actually occur?”

He got a bit blue when the character moved over to “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” in 1999, where the topics were rape, assault and, sometimes, sexual dysfunction, but he was still the same Munch.

Thomas Jane opens up about the bleak ending of his 2007 sci-fi horror film The Mist, addressing whether the movie's controversial conclusion could ever be produced in the current Hollywood landscape. The film is an adaptation of acclaimed horror author Stephen King's 1980 novella of the same name, and stars Jane alongside Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher, and Toby Jones. In The Mist, the town of Bridgton, Maine is suddenly engulfed by a thick mist that hides a sinister, unseen group of creatures from another world due to a government experiment gone wrong, with a group of survivors attempting to survive the sudden plague of horrors by any means necessary.

The Brooklyn 99 ending brought the beloved sitcom to a conclusion in a way that was fitting for the series. The police sitcom follows the detectives of Brooklyn's 99th precinct, Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), his wife Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), Lieutenant Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz), and Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio). Throughout eight seasons of solving cases and engaging in hijinks, other members of the Nine-Nine have also become significant including Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti), Norm Scully (Joel McKinnon), and Michael Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker).

Season 8 of Brooklyn 99 sees Holt and Amy present a police reform program that gets instituted city-wide, leading Holt to be promoted to deputy commissioner and bringing Amy up as his number two. The series finale is called "The Last Day," and it promises to be the most elaborate and hilarious of the show's famous heists,...

In 1989, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Cary Elwes, and Andre Braugher starred in the film "Glory," directed by Edward Zwick. It was the story of the American Civil War's 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, which was one of the earliest Black regiments in the Union Army. It was based on the 1965 novel "One Gallant Rush" by Peter Burchard, the 1973 novel "Lay This Laurel" by Lincoln Kirstein, and the personal letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the leader of the 54th. 

In the film, Shaw gives the Black soldiers the option to walk away after they learn that the Confederacy responded to the Emancipation Proclamation by ordering all captured Black men to be returned to slavery.

No sitcom is ever complete without its defining catchphrase, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine probably has the most memorable one among its comedy series contemporaries. The popular and unforgettable “Nine-Nine!” catchphrase of 99th precinct’s police officers is often heard as a chant by the show’s ensemble cast members. While most catchphrases tend to function on the comedic side like Terry’s “Terry loves yogurt” or Jake’s “Title of Your Sex Tape,” “Nine-Nine!” is different.

Harboring cast members from the likes of Andre Braugher, Andy Samberg, Terry Crews, and many more, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a cornucopia of talented actors and comedians who had a hand in most of the show’s running gags.

Considering the story's connection to the moviemaking industry, it was only a matter of time before the story was given the similar dramatization treatment that was done for Fox News CEO Roger Ailes in "Bombshell." The result was Emmy Award-winning director Maria Schrader's "She Said," from a script by Rebecca Lenkiewicz. Two-time Academy Award-nominee Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan star as Twohey and Kantor, delivering phenomenal performances in this film highlighting just how intense the process was to bring Weinstein to justice and call him out publicly.

Unfortunately, "She Said" did not perform well at the box office.

2010's Salt was a hit star vehicle for Angelina Jolie, but why did the Salt 2 movie fail to materialize? Angelina Jolie was a regular face in the action genre in the mid-2000s, which include her Tomb Raider movies and comic adaptation Wanted. Tom Cruise was originally attached to Salt, which dealt with a CIA agent named Edwin Salt going on the run when he's accused of being a Russian mole. Cruise was attached for over a year before departing as he felt the character was a little too close to Mission: Impossible's Ethan Hunt. Angelina Jolie stepped in, and many expected a new Angelina Jolie Salt movie Here's why a Salt sequel never happened.

Salt grossed almost 300 million and was poised to become a new franchise, but nearly a decade after release, it's clear that a Salt sequel is unlikely to happen. Salt also boasted a strong cast outside of Angelina Jolie,...

Brooklyn 99 and New Girl are both iconic shows, so it only made sense to have a crossover between them, and here are which episodes to watch. At the time of the crossover, both Brooklyn 99 and New Girl were airing on Fox with New Girl in its later seasons as it had started two years before Brooklyn 99, in 2011. Brooklyn 99 and New Girl are set on opposite sides of the country, so the crossovers had to bring the New Girl ensemble to the East Coast to be able to merge them properly.

The logistics of the Brooklyn 99 and New Girl crossover were easily solved with the New Girl gang going across to New York for Schmidt’s (Max Greenfield) high school reunion. The crossover is split into two parts, with the first half airing as a Brooklyn 99 episode and the second part aired immediately after this as a New Girl episode,...

In Universal’s She Said, Andre Braugher plays real-life journalist Dean Baquet, the former executive editor of The New York Times who helped spearhead the paper’s investigation into Harvey Weinstein. While this is the first time the actor has played a historical figure who is still alive (he previously portrayed Jackie Robinson and labor unionist A. Philip Randolph, for example), Braugher didn’t feel he had to meet Baquet to capture the spirit of the editor.

“Sometimes when you’re playing real people, there’s a tendency to get stuck on their real mannerisms, and what you imagine their real attitudes are as opposed to the script, and I think my highest loyalty goes to the playwright [Rebecca Lenkiewicz, who penned the screenplay] in collaboration with the director to find out what it is that we want to try to play,” Braugher tells THR.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Christmas episodes featured some of the most heartwarming moments in the entire series, but which of these holiday episodes are the best? Known for its running gags, hilarious cold opens, and an excellent ensemble cast, the police procedural sitcom has been considered as one of the funniest shows of the last decade. While there were only a few of them, the Christmas installments were some of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's most memorable.

From holiday heists to taking pictures for Christmas cards, Brooklyn Nine-Nine featured many sequences that perfectly set the mood for the time of year. The holiday always played a part in each of these episodes no matter how small and reminded audiences why it was so important to celebrate, whether it was with family, friends, or even co-workers. While Brooklyn 99's Halloween heists episodes were arguably more entertaining and recognizable, the Christmas episodes tended to...
