Must-watch shows this week

Three series dominate the charts right now. House of the Dragon (8.4/10) dives into Westeros origins, 200 years before Game of Thrones, with a civil war brewing. Silo (8.2/10) continues exploring a post-apocalyptic world where survivors live underground, while One Piece (8.7/10) remains unstoppable with the King of Pirates saga.

Looking for something different? Le Palais de l'Est (8.0/10) brings Korean fantasy with dark palace secrets, and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (8.5/10) keeps anime fans hooked with a wild reincarnation story. For action-packed family drama, Agent Kim Reactivated (7.2/10) blends thriller and espionage with a single father and former elite agent.

  • House of the Dragon — Political intrigue and dragons (8.4)
  • Silo — Mystery and underground survival (8.2)
  • One Piece — Pirate adventure continues (8.7)
  • Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation — Fantasy anime (8.5)

Movies worth your time

On the film side, Obsession (8.2/10) plays with desire and magic—an introverted young man finds an object that grants any wish. L'Odyssée (7.9/10) adapts Homer's epic with Ulysses' perilous journey home. For chills, Backrooms (7.1/10) offers strange mystery through a door appearing in a basement.
