East of Eden (Netflix, 7 episodes)
An adaption of the John Steinbeck novel which details the lives of the Trask family and Cathy Ames in a sprawling American epic that starts during the aftermath of the Civil War and reaches to the start of World War I. In 1899, a barely alive Cathy Ames crawls to a farmhouse. Half-brothers Adam and Charles Trask rescue her. While Adam shows concern, Charles is skeptical. The brothers were raised by their abusive father, Cyrus, who trained them to be soldiers. The details of Cathy's backstory are revealed in flashback, and we see the impact she has on the family.

Kill Jackie (Stan, 8 episodes)
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Jackie Price who has been living a wealthy, luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art using sophisticated tax loopholes and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international cocaine dealer.  But just as her unlikely life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden  turn when she discovers The Seven Demons, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her. 

War (HBO Max, 8 episodes)
A legal drama starring Dominic West and Sienna Miller, and set in the high-stakes world of two of London’s most prestigious rival law firms.
The eight-part series delves into the high-stakes lives of London’s most powerful lawyers as firms Cathcarts & Sons and Taylor & Byrne clash over a headline-grabbing legal battle, drawing ambitious young lawyer Jonathan “Johnny” Warren, played by Archie Renaux, into a ruthless world where ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy and winning is everything.
The series follows the explosive divorce of British tech entrepreneur Morgan Henderson (Dominic West) and international film star Carla Duval (Sienna Miller), as the law firms stop at nothing to secure victory for their clients.

Mobland (Paramount+, 10 episodes)
