True Crime & Drama

My watchlist goes up and down, depending on the week and month. This week, I have some absolute corkers to get stuck into on disney+-none of which you’ll wont to miss.

Amanda Knox: A Re-Examination of a Sensational Case

Amanda Knox’s involvement in the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher captivated global news outlets. The story didn’t end with her (wrongful) conviction alongside Raffaele Sollecito in 2009. Even after acquittals, retrials, and a final pardon, the case continues to resonate.

The eight-part true-crime miniseries, co-produced by Knox and Monica Lewinsky, dramatizes the events surrounding the case, focusing on coercive interrogations, media sensationalism, and judicial missteps. Critics have praised Grace Van Patten’s performance as knox, and the series promises a nuanced look at a story often distorted by the press.

Action & Espionage

The Amateur: A Rogue Operative’s quest for Revenge

The Amateur, which slipped under the radar earlier in 2025, is perfect background noise for a relaxed evening. It stars Rami Malek as a CIA operative who goes rogue to avenge his wife’s death, receiving training from Colonel Henderson, played by Laurence Fishburne.

The film delivers classic action-thriller elements: murder, grief, and a relentless pursuit of retribution. It’s a compelling watch for fans of the genre.

Documentary & Investigation

The Delphi Murders: Unraveling a Community’s trauma

This three-part docuseries recounts the 2017 murders of two teenage girls in Delphi, Indiana. It uses archival footage, interviews with families, and local officials to portray the impact of the crime on the community and the lengthy pursuit of justice.

The series is particularly striking due to the haunting phone footage captured by one of the victims, offering a sobering and intriguing glimpse into the events.

Long-Running Favorites

The Simpsons Season 37: Back to Springfield

With The Simpsons Season 37 launching in September 2025, it’s a good time to revisit the iconic animated series. I’m catching up with America’s favorite family after a long hiatus.

I’ve been a fan as childhood, continuing to watch even as the show’s quality declined after Season 15, with occasional standout episodes. The first episode of Season 36, Bart’s Birthday, was particularly well-received by long-time fans, and I’m eager to see if the rest of the season lives up to that standard.

Nature & Comedy

Underdogs: A Quirky Look at the Animal Kingdom

Ryan Reynolds narrates Underdogs, a series focusing on the “weird and unsung heroes of the animal kingdom.” It features stunning cinematography combined with reynolds’ signature sarcasm, though it includes a considerable amount of toilet humor.

The series has a mixed age rating. Common Sense Media reviews range from 18+ to 8+ (it’s rated 16+ on UK Disney+). While underdogs brings comedy to the nature documentary genre, it’s not suitable for very young children due to the mature humor.
