Teenagers are on the run from a serial killer, a writer faces his nightmares, and generations battle over free time: what’s worth streaming now.
From mystery comedy, to a historical documentary to crime thrillers – the Streaming services are again offering a lot of programming. Some streaming tips for the near future:
Many perspectives
The second season of murder-mystery comedy The Afterparty is coming to Apple TV+. In the series from Academy Award winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord, each episode tells the same evening from a different character’s perspective.
Each episode brings its own visual style and genre appropriate to that character. Stars of the series are Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao. The ten-part second season will introduce new film genres and new characters. Newcomers include Elizabeth Perkins, Zach Woods and Paul Walter Hauser. The ten episodes will go online week after week from July 12 on Wednesdays.
Hunt across Europe
Four teenage girls Tara (Leah McNamara), Ruth (Yasmin Monet Prince), Stink (Vivian Oparah) and Nessi (Isidora Fairhurst) take a fateful trip to Rotterdam. When Tara’s father is suddenly found dead, a dangerous flight through Europe begins for the girlfriends.
They have three kilos of heroin in their luggage, which Tara’s uncle Reagan (Richard Coyle), a notorious gangster, is after. But Reagan isn’t the only person they have to fear: a serial killer known as “The Traveler” is a deadly threat. The eight-part series “ThenYou Run” has now started on Sky and Wow.
In search of truth
The film “How loud should I scream!” on RTL + is dedicated to the crimes at the Hessian Odenwald School. In the documentary, Andreas Huckele embarks on a journey to face his childhood nightmare again.
It’s about one of the biggest abuse scandals in German history: teachers and older students abused their younger classmates for decades. “After several years, Huckele was the first to rebel against the abuse system,” said RTL+. But the allegations initially bounced off the school management. It was only 20 years later that the abuse complex was fully clarified. The documentary is available to stream now.
struggle for free time
Do you prefer to work 20 instead of 40 hours a week? Work-life balance is more important to many young people than money. This change of heart is now leading to a generational conflict. Because Generation Z meets bosses who see it as laziness.
Working hours in social and generational disputes – that is the subject of the second episode of the young history format “Past Forward” by hr, MDR and Radio Bremen for the ARD media library. “Past Forward: Don’t feel like working? The work-life balance of Gen Z” by Sophie Labitzke and Nadja Kölling is now available there.
