Evil Dead Burn: graphic horror with a simple setup
A widow is left fighting for her life when her late husband’s family turns into Deadites. TechRadar’s review summary describes the gore and set pieces as entertaining, while noting that the story is basic and leans heavily on jump scares.

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays art dealer Jackie Price, who is targeted by hitmen and decides to hunt them using her connections and ingenuity. The eight-episode Prime Video original is adapted from Nick Harkaway’s The Price You Pay.

The Widower: ’Til Death Do Us Part: a case centered on Thomas Randolph
The Netflix docuseries examines Randolph, whose six wives included four who died under suspicious circumstances; two survived, and he was eventually convicted of murder. Dateline correspondent Dan Slepian, filmmaker Chris Smith and local detectives are involved in the series.
Africa: Earth’s Wild Home: conservation work and wildlife
The documentary follows people working to protect African wildlife, with the armored pangolin among its examples. The program highlights a statistic that Africa’s wildlife population has dwindled by nearly 80% over the last 50 years; that is the program’s figure as reported by TechRadar in 2026, not an independently verified estimate here.
