“Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” (TV-MA) – Producer Ryan Murphy never seems to run out of ideas! After garnering great success with acclaimed anthology shows like “American Horror Story” and “American Crime Story,” he continues to outdo himself. This time, he assembled a superstar cast for the second season of yet another anthology series called “Feud.” Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloe Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald team up to portray high-society, New York socialites, whose trust author Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) betrays for his novel “Answered Prayers.” Although fictionalized, Capote’s novel uses these women’s real-life experiences to tell a scandalous story, and these six women are dead set on getting revenge. The first two episodes are out now, with subsequent episodes releasing every Wednesday until March 13. (Hulu)
“My Demon” (TV-14) – This South Korean series is perfect for those who enjoy fantasy and romance all packed into one. Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang respectively lead the series as Do-hee, the CEO of a conglomerate, and Gu-won – a 200-year-old demon living in the form of a youthful human man. They get set up on a horribly matched blind date, and their date goes even more awry when Gu-won’s tattoo, the source of his superhuman powers, is unexpectedly transferred to Do-hee. Now to regain access to his powers, Gu-won must keep Do-hee close by. All the while, the threat of losing her position in the company looms over Do-hee if she doesn’t marry within her first year as CEO. So, the two plan a contracted marriage that provides them with a temporary solution to their issues … unless budding feelings make it permanent. This bingeable 16-episode series is out now. (Netflix)

“The Killing of a Sacred Deer” (R) – Long before director Yorgos Lanthimos would be nominated for the 2024 Academy Awards for his film “Poor Things,” there was his psychological thriller film starring Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan. Farrell plays Dr. Steven Murphy, a surgeon who befriends the teenage son of one of his deceased patients. The teenager, an oddball named Martin (Keoghan), gets closer to Steven and his family, while mysterious and paralyzing symptoms start presenting themselves in Steven’s children. Finally, when Steven has no choice but to hospitalize his son, Martin divulges that the only way to save the rest of his family from this terrifying illness is if Steven chooses just one of his family members to kill. The rest will live, and justice will then be served for the death of Martin’s father. Disturbing and explicit in its storytelling, Lanthimos’ sixth directorial film is one that won’t leave your mind. Out now. (Tubi)
