“The Boys”

“The Boys” is another fan favorite superhero series. Now in its second season, the Emmy-nominated action satire developed by Eric Kripke (“Supernatural) takes place in a world where superheroes are worshiped like gods. This isn’t your average hero story though. “The Boys” explores what happens when superheroes abuse their powers and use them for evil instead of good. The show centers around the Boys, a group out to expose the truth behind “The Seven,” the premier superheroes with corporate backing from the omnipresent Vought International. “The Boys” stars Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, and Jessie T. Usher.

“ZeroZeroZero”

The crime drama “ZeroZeroZero” takes viewers inside the journey of a large-scale cocaine shipment from Mexico to Italy and the buyers, sellers, and brokers involved in the drug deal. The major players include brothers Enrique and Jacinto Leyra who run a Mexican drug cartel with help from a Mexican army soldier, Manuel Contreras, and his corrupt crew. The buyer is an Italian mafia boss, Don Minu La Piana, and the brokers in charge of the drug shipments are a New Orleans family who owns a prestigious shipping company. “ZeroZeroZero” was co-created by Italian screenwriter/director Stefano Sollima and adapted from the Roberto Saviano books of the same name.

“The Man in the High Castle”

This dystopian alternate history series was created by Frank Spotnitz, who also executive-produced the show alongside Ridley Scott. Based off the 1963 novel by Philip K. Dick, “The Man in the High Castle” reimagines a post-World War II reality where the Allied Powers lost the war, and Germany and Japan ruled the United States.
