For fans of the late, great John Candy, there’s a new documentary on Prime Video called John Candy: I Like Me. Directed by Colin Hanks and produced by Ryan Reynolds, this film explores the life and career of Candy through interviews with those who knew him best.

If suspenseful thrillers are more your speed, don’t miss The Woman In Cabin 10 on Netflix. Starring Keira Knightley, this film follows a journalist who witnesses a mysterious event on a luxury yacht.

And finally, on Apple TV+, you can catch The Last Frontier. Created by Jon Bokenkamp, the mind behind The Blacklist, this series promises plenty of twists and turns as a U.S. Marshall in Alaska deals with a plane crash and multiple prisoner escapes.
