We hardly watch traditional TV anymore. Streaming video services such as Apple TV + (try for free), Netflix, Disney + and Amazon Prime Video are more important than ever. But local providers such as Videoland, Film1 and Ziggo also have plenty to offer. More series are added every week and it is nice if you know which series, films and documentaries really stand out. We have therefore made a selection.
Now at Apple TV +: Palmer
Palmer is a new movie starring Justin Timberlake, out now on Apple TV +. It follows the life of college football star Eddie Palmer, who returns from prison after a misstep. Written by Cheryl Guerriero, this film is about acceptance and love. Palmer tries to get his life back on track, but runs into conflicts with his past. He is also suddenly stuck with an abandoned boy, who has been abandoned by his mother. In Palmer you can also see Juno Temple, Alisha Wainwright, June Squibb and Ryder Allen.

Featured on: Disney +
Did you drop out because WandaVision was too bizarre? Then you should definitely watch the fourth episode, because many riddles are solved in it. After three episodes, there is finally some clarity. A must to have a look immediately. This time few sitcom events, but all the more scenes in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) do not appear at all. In the meantime they lead a bourgeois life, even though they gradually suspect that something is not quite right.
