With all the series hype of the last few weeks, which still have new episodes ready for us every week, it was clear at some point that a somewhat tamer streaming week would come around the corner. And unfortunately, it is now here: Apart from a few smaller film and series recommendations such as “Eileen” with Anne Hathaway on WOW, the Netflix romcom “A Family Affair” with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron or Season 1 of the new Apple animated series “WondLa” The current streaming week is still dominated by “House of the Dragon”, “The Boys” and “Star Wars: The Acolyte”. The latter, the troubled child, actually managed to improve with episode 5: Thanks to a brutally short but extremely entertaining lightsaber fight episode and a few crisp twists, some fans are suddenly beginning to have hope again. Of course, that doesn't distract from the miserable first four episodes – but it's still worth mentioning positively.
Otherwise, this week is more of a preview of what we can expect in the coming weeks and months in streaming plus cinema: Paramount+ finally announced Season 2 of “Tulsa King” The new season of the brilliant crime saga with Sylvester Stallone as a loose-mouthed, clenched-fisted mobster will be released on September 16th on Paramount+.
