This espionage thriller has taken Netflix by storm, becoming the most-watched series of 2023. The Night Agent season 3 brings us back to Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), an FBI agent caught in a web of conspiracy. Season 2 ended with the ominous possibility of Richard Hagan (Ward Horton) ascending to the presidency, which would give the nefarious Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum) access to national secrets.

Peter’s handler, Catherine (Amanda Warren), has tasked him with going undercover to infiltrate Jacob’s inner circle, setting the stage for an intense season 3. The Night Agent continues to deliver twists, tension, and excitement. All 10 episodes will be available on Netflix starting February 19, and we can’t wait to see where this new season takes Peter.

The latest installment in the Predator franchise raised eyebrows with its unconventional premise: this time, the Predator is the hero. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, this film is an exhilarating adventure. Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young Yautja (the Predator’s species), seeks to prove himself by hunting an alien monster. He teams up with a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic named Thia (Elle Fanning), who is on a quest to find her lost sibling.

With a dynamic duo at its core and thrilling action (targeting hordes of villainous synthetics), this film is arguably the most entertaining entry in the franchise since the original. Perfect for a Friday night watch.
