Peacock is having a moment. NBCUniversal’s streaming platform is having its biggest week to date, fueled by some of the biggest sporting events on the planet in the Super Bowl and The Winter Olympics.

For his follow-up to the tense and claustrophobic German middle school drama, The Teachers’ Lounge, director Ilker Çatak has attempted something both more ambitious and more mystifying: a tale of authoritarian oppression, artistic strife and family conflict that’s set in contemporary Turkey but was shot entirely in Germany, with no attempts to hide the fact…

The seductive opening sequence of Everybody Digs Bill Evans draws you in like a magnet. The improvised jazz drifting through the air at the Village Vanguard in New York on a summer night in 1961 — soft, caressing, mellow, smoky — is one thing. But the extraordinary communion shared by the musicians of the Bill…
A pretty unsuspecting element of Hanna Bergholm’s filmography lured Rupert Grint onto Nightborn. The British actor has kept a low profile since his career-making turn as the red-haired Ron Weasley in Warner Bros’ Harry Potter films. For a decade, he was a fixture of global cinema; a wand-wielding Gryffindor who became, alongside fellow Hogwarts alums…
Loyle Carner, the album-charting, Brit Award-nominated hip-hop musician, doesn’t hesitate when asked if he was nervous shooting his first TV show. “Hell yeah,” he confesses to The Hollywood Reporter. “The whole time.” There’s a delicious irony in the fact that Carner, also a Glastonbury fan-favorite (he headlined the fest’s buzzy Other Stage only last year),…
