Several new series and season premieres are available on various streaming platforms this week, offering a mix of genres and storytelling styles. Small Prophets, season 1, is now available on Apple TV. The series, which was awarded at the Séries Mania festival in 2026, follows Michael Sleep as he brings to life magical little men in the cabin at the back of the garden, blending realism and fantasy. A review describes it as a "peak of kindness and delicacy" that enchants daily life, suggesting it is both imaginative and emotionally resonant.
Carrie, season 1, is available on Prime Video. Directed by Mike Flanagan, the series presents a modern adaptation of Stephen King's work, featuring a protagonist schooled at home by parents at war with secular society and thrust into a public high school where she is bullied in the era of social media. The review notes it as a "very rooted adaptation of Stephen King's work in its time," highlighting its relevance to contemporary issues and themes.
Adults, season 2, returns to Disney+ with its cast of roommates navigating love stories and daily struggles. The review describes the series as "funny and endearing," comparing it to the "Girls" of the Gen Z generation. This suggests it is relatable and captures the complexities of modern relationships and personal growth.
Below, a miniseries on Netflix, follows a Canadian fisherman (Josh Hartnett) facing a sea monster. The review describes it as a "vaguely eco-thriller that drowns its good intentions in a clumsy plot," likening it to a "sub 'Moby Dick' that tangles its tentacles." While the concept is intriguing, the execution is criticized for being unpolished and overly complicated.
Kill Jackie, season 1, is available on HBO Max. The series, described as a descendant of Kill Bill, mixes tense moments with funny sequences. The review notes that the actors have fun, and the audience does as well, with particular praise for Catherine Zeta-Jones's performance, indicating that the show balances action with humor effectively.
Intraçables, season 1, is available on Prime Video. Despite the beauty of the Swiss mountains and the charm of Sofia Essaïdi, the review finds it difficult to swallow the implausibilities and clichés of this paranoid thriller, mainly recommending it for its landscapes. This suggests that while the setting is visually appealing, the plot lacks depth and originality.
Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, season 1, is available on Ciné+ OCS. The series focuses on placing the victims of serial killer John Wayne Gacy at the center of the narrative, avoiding sensationalism. The review calls it "essential" with an "exemplary cast," emphasizing its respectful and impactful portrayal of real-life tragedy.
Get Jiro !, season 1, is available on HBO Max. The animated series is based on a comic book by Anthony Bourdain, depicting the adventures of a master sushi chef in Los Angeles. The review describes it as "as absurd as it is acceptable," comparing it to the original comic book, suggesting that it is both quirky and entertaining, even if it leans into the unconventional.
