"Eternity" (blue Video)
What if the most important love decision is made after death? "Eternity" takes the classic love triangle romcom into the afterlife and turns it into a colorful, playful and surprisingly thought-provoking love story.
After her death, Joan is faced with an impossible choice: should she spend her eternity with Larry, her trusted husband with whom she has shared an entire life? Or with Luke, her first great love, who died far too young in the war - and has been waiting for her for decades. In the afterlife, there is no turning back: a decision, an eternity.
Director David Freyne relies on retro charm, loving details and a pinch of quirky humor - and poses big questions about love, closeness and transience. The whole thing is carried by Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner, who lend tangible depth to the emotional dilemma.
An unusual romantic comedy for Valentine's Day - light-footed, bittersweet and with the comforting thought that finiteness is what makes life so valuable.

"Heated Rivalry" (HBO Max)
With "Heated Rivalry", HBO Max brings a series to the screen that everyone is currently talking about. It centers on ice hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov - rivals on the ice, secret lovers off it.
The series follows the two over the years and tells of competition, desire and a relationship that must remain hidden in macho professional sport.
The adaptation adheres closely to Rachel Reid's acclaimed book and spares neither emotion nor physicality. More than provocation, however, "Heated Rivalry" is a look at homosexuality in men's sport. Find out more about the series here.

From February 6, "Heated Rivalry" will be streamable on HBO Max in Switzerland.

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" (HBO Max)
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is a new prequel from the "Game of Thrones" universe that takes fans back to Westeros. Without any dragons, but with heart, humor and new adventures.
The new series is also based on a book by author George R.R. Martin. This time, however, you can expect more of a knight than a fantasy series.
Watch the video to find out the three things you need to know before venturing back to Westeros.
The series follows an unlikely duo: Ser Duncan "Dunk" the Great (Peter Claffey), an upstanding but not noble knight, and his young squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). What Dunk doesn't know is that Egg is actually Aegon Targaryen, who will one day sit on the throne as King Aegon V - and is the grandfather of the "Mad King" many people know from "Game of Thrones".
Together, the two roam the seven kingdoms, getting caught up in tournaments, intrigues and dangerous trials. Instead of huge battles, the focus is on down-to-earth adventures, clever dialog and genuine character development.
Our anticipation for "A Night of the Seven Kingdoms": 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️ (out of 5)
The series starts on January 19 on HBO Max and shows one of a total of six episodes each week. A second season is already being planned.

"The Rookie" season 8 launch - Sky (blue Premium)
"Love is in the air": Love, chaos and a hint of honeymoon - "The Rookie" starts its 8th season with heartbreak. John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey Nune (Jenna Dewan) want to make up for their "botched" honeymoon - but instead of romance in Prague, lots of action awaits.
"The Rookie" is an unusual mix of police drama, humor, heart and a lot of humanity - with missions that get under your skin and characters you can empathize with. If you find series like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" too light and "Blue Bloods" too serious, you've come to the right place: suspense meets charm, action meets emotion.
Recommended for anyone who likes crime formats but doesn't want to miss out on character development and a pinch of self-irony. And a must for fans of Nathan Fillion anyway.
Our anticipation for "The Rookie" season 8: 🚓🚓🚓🚓 (out of 5)

Gerald Salmina accompanied everything with his camera and his film provides an insight into the lives of skiing's superstars.
You can find the interview with director Gerald Salmina, who has already made the feature film "Streif - One Hell of a Ride", here:

"The Pitt" (HBO Max)
For fans of "Emergency Room", "Grey's Anatomy" or "Chicago Med", "The Pitt" is an absolute must. In contrast to many other hospital series, however, "The Pitt" focuses on a realistic portrayal. The series has also been praised by critics and has won five Emmy Awards.
"The Pitt" impresses with an intense and authentic insight into the stressful everyday life in a hospital. It also addresses problems in the healthcare system - from the nursing crisis to violence between patients and nursing staff - and social developments such as cutbacks and redundancies.
The first season of the hospital series won five awards at the last Emmy Awards. Among others, Noah Wyle was honored for his role, which he is now reprising in the second season.
At the premiere of the second season in Los Angeles, the makers announced the renewal for a third season, as reported by "The Hollywood Reporter".

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (Paramount+)
Into the 32nd century! Just in time for the 60th anniversary of the franchise, the showrunners are opening a new chapter and expanding the "Star Trek" universe.
Initial reactions are surprisingly positive. There is praise not only for the choice of cast around Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti, but also for the harmonious mix of coming-of-age elements, humor and sci-fi action.
This time, however, the focus of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" is not on experienced officers, but on a group of young Starfleet cadets who are completing their training in a time of upheaval.
Our anticipation for the new series: 🪐🪐🪐🪐 (3 out of 5).
"Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" starts on January 15, 2026 with a double episode and then exclusively on Paramount+ (in a package from blue SuperMax).

"Girl Taken" (Paramount+)
Do you remember Theon Greyjoy, who is tormented and tortured by the nasty Ramsey Bolton in "Game Of Thrones" and then becomes a good-natured hero again after being a "stinker"? Either way, this charismatic role is played by Alfie Allen, the antagonist of the new thriller series "Girl Taken".
After eight years in the hands of her kidnapper, Lily Riser (Talullah Evans) manages to escape, but her return home turns out to be a new psychological nightmare. As she tries to heal her estranged relationship with her twin sister and mother, she quickly realizes that her family's life has taken a dark turn without her.
"Girl Taken" is not only a psychological thriller, but also an emotional drama about resilience, betrayal and the high price it takes to reclaim one's life.
Our anticipation for "Girl Taken": 🌑🌑🌑🌑 (4 out of 5)
The mini-series will air on Paramount+ from January 8.

"His & Hers" (Netflix)
We're staying in the psychological thriller mini-series genre. In "His & Hers", journalist Anna becomes embroiled in a brutal murder case in her hometown, which sparks a dangerous dynamic between her and investigating detective Jack Harper. As both pursue their own version of the truth and are connected by a dark past, a highly suspenseful game of cat and mouse develops under the oppressive Georgia heat.
With a star-studded cast including Tessa Thompson, Jon Bernthal and Pablo Schreiber, the film adaptation of Alice Feeney's bestseller offers just the right fodder for fans of nerve-wracking psychological thrillers with so-called unreliable narrators. The series is primarily aimed at an audience that appreciates dark mystery dramas in the style of "Gone Girl", in which an abyss lurks behind every small-town facade.
The mini-series will be available on Netflix from 8.1.

"Predator: Badlands" (Blue Video)
With "Predator: Badlands", the legendary franchise returns and tells the story of sisters Thia and Tessa, who fight for their survival in a futuristic wasteland world. What makes this spin-off from director Dan Trachtenberg so special is the bold decision to focus on the Predator himself as a kind of anti-hero, which gives the series a completely new perspective.
After the predecessor "Prey" landed directly in streaming, "Badlands" celebrated a phenomenal surprise success at the box office. The dual role of Elle Fanning ("Super 8", "Maleficent"), who plays both sisters, lends impressive acting depth to the tough fight for survival. Having just been released in cinemas, the sci-fi action hit is now available for home cinema.
The film is available from blue Video on 6.1.

"The Copenhagen Test" (Sky Show)
Copenhagen in the year 2045: The consciousness of intelligence analyst Alexander Hale ("Marvel" star Simu Liu) is hacked. His memories are erased and manipulated in real time.
He realizes that he is the victim of a secret experiment aimed at making human identity completely controllable. With the help of the mysterious Michelle (Melissa Barrera), he tries to piece together the fragments of his real personality before his original self is erased for good.
"The Copenhagen Test" is a nerve-wracking cat-and-mouse game in which the boundaries between personal memories and digital manipulation become increasingly blurred. Anyone looking for an exciting, clever high-tech thriller rather than shallow entertainment at the start of the year will find what they are looking for here.

"The Running Man" (blue Video)
In the dystopian remake of "The Running Man", director Edgar Wright sends shooting star Glen Powell into a deadly fight for survival.
The remake of the 1987 action classic with Arnold Schwazenegger follows desperate father Ben Richards (Powell), who takes part in a cruel reality show to secure medical treatment for his daughter. The aim is to escape professional killers for 30 days while drones broadcast the action live for a sensationalist audience.
The movie captivates with its fast pace and spectacular chase scenes. While Powell's performance and the visual design of the two-tier society are convincing, the media-critical message about AI manipulation remains rather superficial. Ultimately, however, Wright delivers a gripping action thriller that works brilliantly as a modern and fast-paced race against time.
The film is available from January 4 at blue Video

The lead roles are played by Paul Giamatti and young newcomer Dominic Sessa.

Just in time for Christmas, "Emily in Paris" returns with season 5 - perfect for cozy holidays on the sofa.
The Netflix hit series "Emily in Paris" follows US-American Emily Cooper as she struggles through a glamorous but chaotic new life in Europe's major cities with fashion, marketing and complicated feelings.
After Emily ventured to Rome in the fourth season, she is now likely to spend considerably more time in the Italian metropolis - including a possible detour to Venice. New professional opportunities are opening up, but things are getting complicated emotionally: Emily once again has to juggle Paris and Rome, her career and her feelings.

In the doctor's body, Alien Harry gets to know, love and hate the customs of humans.
"Resident Alien" is bursting with quirky and black humor. There are many funny and exciting side stories about the oddball inhabitants of the small town.

Fans of the series need to be strong. Because it is being canceled after this fourth season, even though five were planned and the series is a success.

Dragon taming made easy (blue Video)
Pure goosebumps, even though you actually know the story. The content of the live-action adaptation is no different from the animated film that thrilled millions of viewers in 2010.
Nevertheless, this movie is a must-see - and not just because Hans Zimmer composed the soundtrack. Gerard Butler also cuts a fine figure as the fearless Viking chieftain Haudrauf.

"Alien: Earth" (Disney+)
If you're a fan of sci-fi and aliens, you have to watch this series.
"Alien: Earth" by "Fargo" creator Noah Hawley impresses from the very first episodes with grandiose space images reminiscent of Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic "Alien" (1979). The story takes place around two years before the events of the first "Alien" film from 1979.
When a mysterious spaceship crashes on Earth, a special team is sent out to get to the bottom of the matter - but their discovery becomes a threat to the entire human race.
We are delighted with the high-quality production - and at the same time regret that this first part of the franchise cannot be seen on the big screen.
Our rating: 🛸🛸🛸🛸 (out of 5)
The series has been running on Disney+ since August 13, 2025 (in the blue SuperMax package).
