Sullivan's Crossing season three.

Recommended by Laura Brodnik, Head of Entertainment

Sullivan's Crossing is one of those comfort-watch dramedies set in a picturesque small town that is always there to keep you company when you need a bit of pleasant escapism from the world.

The casting of Sullivan's Crossing is what initially drew many viewers into the world of this little community nestled in rural Nova Scotia. The series stars the leading man from everybody's other favourite comfort watch TV show, Scott Patterson (Luke from Gilmore Girls) as Harry 'Sully' Sullivan, along with One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones.

The show's first season introduced us to neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, who returned to her hometown to reconnect with her estranged father, Sully, following a legal dispute.

With season two ending on a cliffhanger (the diner caught on fire while Sully was trapped inside), season three starts with an enticing hook as we discover where these characters have ended up.

And on the romantic front, Maggie and Cal's slow-burn romance has always been at the center of the story for Sullivan's Crossing fans, and season three finally sees the duo properly embark on a relationship, just with a few more speed bumps along the way.

Sullivan's Crossing season 3 is now streaming on Stan.

Thunderbolts*

We are so back. In fact, this is the most back we have ever been! Marvel has delivered one of their best films in a long, long time with Thunderbolts*.

And the best part is that this film truly feels like the start of something new – which it is, as they expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe once again with a new slate of movies and heroes to love.

Thunderbolts* is a new Avengers-style film that assembles some of the MCU's greatest anti-heros: Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour), John Walker / US Agent (Wyatt Russell) and Antonia Dreykov (Olga Kurylenko).

Julia Louis Dreyfus reprises her role as wacky and dangerous politician, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Plus, my generational crush Lewis Pullman stars as the mysterious 'Bob'. 

Now, if you're not up to speed on who these Marvel characters are, that's okay. They all appear at some stage or another throughout the MCU. So, in the same way that Avengers brought together superheroes from many, many different films, Thunderbolts is tying a whole heap of threads together while introducing us to a new group dynamic. 

If you don't know the lore, you'll still be able to enjoy the film and piece it together. But if you're a die-hard Marvel fan, there are obviously many more moments for you to fawn over. 

I don't want to give much away about the plot, other than to say when the world needs them, this rag-tag group assembles to take down evil forces at play. And they're not exactly thrilled about it.

The film is engaging and utterly entertaining, with witty dialogue, lovable rogue characters, and just the right amount of practical effects to keep it from feeling like a CGI fever dream. And without a doubt in my mind, this is one of the most 'human' and emotionally intelligent films Marvel has ever offered up, with mental health and resilience of humanity at the forefront over super-human 'powers'.

And thanks to the so-called 'bad' nature of these would-be heroes, the film isn't quite so cookie-cutter as the likes of Thor or Captain America. I left the cinema not only feeling entertained, but feeling excited about the next phase of the MCU.

Thunderbolts* is in cinemas May 1.

Another Simple Favour

The 2018 surprise hit black comedy/mystery/thriller, A Simple Favor, has gotten a stylish sequel thanks to Prime Video. 

Another Simple Favor is set on the glamorous island of Capri in Italy as mummy blogger Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) reunites with the enigmatic Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) for Emily's lavish wedding to Italian mafia heir Dante Versano (Michele Morrone). 

The celebration spirals into chaos when someone at the reception is awkwardly murdered. Oopsie. The cast also includes Henry Golding, Allison Janney and Elizabeth Perkins.

Prepare for a lot of twists and turns, and even more campy silliness than the original film. Come for the gorgeous backdrop of Capri and stay for the hilarious chemistry between the leading ladies, Kendrick and Lively. They're at their best when they share the screen.

Another Simple Favor really is the perfect Friday night movie.

Another Simple Favour premieres on Prime Video on May 1.

The Four Seasons

Recommended by Chelsea Hui, Entertainment Writer

This is a PSA to cancel your plans and pour yourself a glass of something delicious because Tina Fey's new Netflix comedy is what you will be binging this week.

The Four Seasons is that rare Netflix gem that manages to feel both hilariously ridiculous yet equally relatable at the same time.

The eight-episode feast stars Fey alongside Steve Carell, Colman Domingo, and Will Forte as couples navigating friendship through — you guessed it — four seasons of holiday homes and emotional hurricanes. It's like watching your friendship group have the most spectacular meltdowns while you gleefully sip champagne from the sidelines. 

What's absolutely amazing about this show is how it serves grown-up relationship drama with a scrumptious side of genuine belly laughs. I binged the entire show in two nights and found myself balancing between cry-laughing and laughing-laughing the entire time.

As Fey brilliantly put it, the show feels like being "inside a big sweater" and it truly does feel exactly like that. It's funny, wholesome, and a beautiful ode to the mid-life era.

Four Seasons premiered on Netflix on May 1.
